Compliance Tip
Delayed Showing Fields
 
We have seen an increase in Delayed Showing violations. Delayed showing fields are provided in Matrix for use when a listing is active, but the seller is requesting that showings be delayed until a specific date.
  • the Delayed Showing Y/N field must be marked “Y” AND
  • The No Show Until date field should reflect the day showings will be allowed

Compliance Tips:
  • If the Delayed Showing restriction is removed, all fields – specifically the Delayed Showing Y/N and the No Show Until fields must be updated within (1) day of removal by the Seller. 
  • If the Seller approves a showing while the listing is under Delayed Showing instructions, all delayed showing instructions MUST be removed prior to such showing. 
  • Remember that it is a finable offense to conduct a showing without removing the delayed showing status and restrictions. This includes removing the No Show Until date from this field. Many agents forget this step and get caught in a violation issue.
