Are You Part of a Team?

3 Easy Ways To Tell

YOU PROMOTE YOURSELF AS A TEAM

Do you promote or advertise yourself as being part of a team? Do buyers & sellers consider you to be part of a team or group?

If YES, you might be a team.

YOU WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM

Do you work with at least one other licensed agent together on transactions on behalf of buyers & sellers?

If YES, you might be a team.

YOU WANT METRO MLS TO RECOGNIZE YOU AS A TEAM

Do you want Metro MLS to recognize you as a team? This includes for listing input, reporting & statistical purposes.

If YES, you might be a team.

Teams come in different shapes & sizes and we worked diligently with a variety of Metro MLS brokers, agents, and support staff that currently operate with teams in the marketplace. These focus groups helped us create a new "Team Login" member type that will help facilitate better functionality for a diverse group of teams including some of the examples below.

THE DYNAMIC DUO OR

TRIPLE THREAT

Typically 2 or 3 agents

working together for

sellers & buyers.

*Might be related to each other

ALL FOR ONE &

ONE FOR ALL

Multiple agents working together for the team.

*Equal responsibility and

no one left behind.

SUPPORTING ROLE

A team comprised of multiple agents, assistants or other support staff that work together for one team leader.

*1 set of goals

for 1 agent

TOO HIP TO BE SQUARE,

GETTING TRIANGULAR

Many agents working independently, yet under the identity of 1 leader. Team may include support staff.

*Agents exchange identity for leads, marketing, support staff

and other benefits.

OR Something else

WHAT IS IT?

You Asked, we listened. In an effort to better serve Metro MLS members, we have implemented a Team functionality within MLS. Now, a Team login can be assigned to the members operating as a team. This feature grants members of a team access to the team listings using their own unique login and password.

This new functionality also:

Eliminates user login & password sharing. All add/ edits are recorded in the history of the listing reflecting the unique team member that made the change to a team listing.

Includes a team lead contact, as well as a team member name, phone and/or email for listing contact information.

Creates transparency in the marketplace by more easily identifying teams, their licensed members and the work they do together.

More accurately records team productions for reporting and statistical purposes with ease for the team as a whole.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Any group or team that advertises publicly they are a team.

Multiple individuals that wish to continue to operate as a single identity (including for stats).

Agents entering listings and/or closings under a team leader or with a team member in MLS.

A group of 2 or more agents working as a whole and/or advertising themselves as a group or team.

Any group of Metro MLS members that want to be recognized by Metro MLS as a team.

IS IT MANDATORY?

No. Team Login is not a mandatory membership type. However, the only way for a team (group, collective, etc.) to be recognized as a team is by registering the team with Metro MLS. Registered Teams can add/edit/change listings for a team or as an individual agent. Unregistered teams cannot add/edit/ or change listings under a team lead or with using a shared login and password. In order to get the full benefit of production numbers and reporting including stats, a team must be registered with Metro MLS.
