New Opportunity to Include Listing Office Contact Info on IDX Websites
In addition to the long-standing requirement to prominently display the listing firm name on all MLS listings on office and agent IDX/VOW websites, beginning September 1, the phone number or email address, as selected by the listing broker, should be displayed along with the listing firm name. All current IDX/VOW website vendors have been notified, but it is the responsibility of the website owner to ensure compliance.
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.
