Your Listings on the Internet

How Do I Get My Listings on the Internet?

On each MLS profile sheet, under the “Listing Broker Information” section, you will find a Yes/No question for the Internet. Answer “Y” if your seller would like their listing to appear on the Internet. Enter “N” if your seller does not want their listings to appear on the Internet. Enter “X” if your seller would like their listing to appear on the Internet, but without the property address.

What Websites Will My Listings Appear On?

www.wisconsinhomes.com is a website owned and operated by the South Central Wisconsin MLS. It is hosted in conjunction with Homes.com. A subset of data for all active Single Family, Condo, Multi Family, Lots and Acreage and Business/Commercial listings that have been flagged as “Internet = Y” appear here. Listings flagged as “Internet = X” also appear but with NO property address. All photos appearing in Paragon also display in the order they appear on Paragon. The MLS remarks along with the Wisconsinhomes.com remarks are included. Please remember that your audience for the Wisconsinhomes remarks is the internet public, so don’t miss an opportunity to market yourself here.

www.realtor.com is the official listing site of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), but is not owned by NAR.  Click here for an explanation of their relationship.

MLS Company Websites. The MLS maintains a RETS Export that contains a limited subset of data for each active listing in the MLS. The data included is the same data displayed on wisconsinhomes.com. Through its Internet Data Exchange (IDX) program, the MLS allows MLS Participant Members to display MLS listings on their company website. Listings flagged as “Internet Y” are included. Listings flagged as “Internet = X” are also included, but with no property address.

Zillow.com and Trulia.com. As Zillow is a brokerage firm, they subscribe to IDX as other firms do. Zillow currently receives a WIREX IDX feed. Your listings will automatically flow to Zillow.com and Trulia.com via this WIREX IDX feed. Listings flagged as “Internet Y” are included. Listings flagged as “Internet = X” are also included, but with no property address.

Finding My MLS Agent ID

Within Paragon, each agent is assigned a User Code and a User ID. If you are asked by a vendor (i.e. website provider) to provide your MLS ID, they could be referring to either of these codes, depending on which field they have incorporated for their product. You can find both of these numbers within the Paragon Agent Roster. Click Membership from the top menu bar, and then Agent Roster. Enter your last name within either the Agent Name or Agent ID field. The results will display both your User Code and your User ID. You can either clarify as to which field they are looking for, or just send them both codes.

What Can I Do If My Listing Shows Up For Rent Online?

  1. Contact the website and ask that the ad be removed.
  2. Contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at 800-422-7128.
  3. Contact the Police Department for the municipality the property is located in.
  4. Place a sign in/on the front door clearly stating that the property is NOT for rent and refer any questions to the listing agent.

Often times you can spot these scams as there are more than a few misspellings in the emails, and the structure of sentences may be awkward or very formal. This is a result of language translation programs.

Listing Broker Attribution on Public Websites

Along with the requirement to display the listing firm name in a prominent location, it is also required that the phone number or email address, as selected by the listing broker, be displayed with the listing firm name. Listing brokers can choose if they want their office phone, office email, listing agent phone, or listing agent email to be included in the MLS data sent for display on IDX/VOW public websites. This selection can be made within Paragon, by the broker or anyone in the firm with broker access.

Select Preferences from the top Paragon Menu
Under System Preferences, select IDX/VOW Contact Info
Select your desired contact info option from the drop down and Save

If your office phone or email needs to be updated in Paragon, send that request to member@wisre.com.

The contact information selected will be sent to IDX/VOW website providers for each new listing added going forward, and each existing listing when next modified.

If you do not make a selection, the default is to provide no contact information.
