New RealScout members who have accounts created by their brokerages may still need their MLS Membership linked to their RealScout account. Consider this a final step when onboarding and setting up your RealScout account. Without an MLS Membership, agents are not able to create listing alerts for clients, nor can clients browse for listings.
This could be due to factors such as the absence of a data feed connection, restrictions based on user type, or agreements with brokerages or teams.
If you visit the DASHBOARD tab and see the following message NO MLS DATA FEED ASSIGNED, that just means we were unable to assign an MLS Data feed to your account. Some functionality (including Search & Listing Alerts) is limited.
Factors influencing this status include the lack of a data feed connection, user type restrictions, or the absence of agreements with brokerages or teams.
Send us your MLS membership information to have the feeds added to your account.
Often, MLS feeds are provisioned through agreements with brokerages or teams, so it may be necessary to coordinate with them to ensure access.
Please click on the button REQUEST A DATA FEED and provide our team with the following 3 details:
Your First and Last Name (as it appears on your RealScout account or MLS).
The name of your MLS Membership (MLS examples: Bright MLS, TRIAD MLS, SANDICOR).
Your MLS ID # (if any).
Once Member Success is provided the 3 details, you are closer to being connected to your MLS membership(s).
If you provide the Association name, our team will email you a followup requesting the MLS Membership name. If you do not know what the MLS Membership name is, please send us the URL that you visit to list properties. Member Success can help review the MLS Membership name for you.
Additionally, some MLS feeds may have limitations based on user type, such as being restricted to brokerages or teams rather than individual agents.
