"Request a Data Feed" is the button you'll see if your RealScout account isn't connected to an MLS data feed yet. Here's what it means and how to get connected.
Why you're seeing this
If you or your brokerage created the account, your MLS membership may not be linked yet. This is normal and usually the last step in onboarding. Without a connected feed, you can't create Listing Alerts or search for listings.
You might see this as a No MLS Data Feed Assigned message on your Dashboard, or as a Request a Data Feed button. It usually means:
Your MLS membership hasn't been linked to your account yet
Your account type, or a brokerage/team agreement, restricts which feeds are available to you
How to request access
Click Request a Data Feed and answer the questions that follow.
Questions may be the following:
Your first and last name (as it appears on your MLS)
Your MLS membership name (examples: Bright MLS, TRIAD MLS, SANDICOR)
Your MLS ID number, if you have one
Your managing broker's full name and email
Don't know your MLS membership name? Send us the URL you use to list properties. Our MLS Administration team can confirm it for you.
