Please try out this great enhancement! All subscribers with regular MLS and TMK service now have the convenience of accessing condo documents by just clicking on links in the TMK record for any condo project in the State. You will notice a section like the one shown below in each TMK record for condo properties.

Rules Highlights …..
URL/Website Addresses in the Public Remarks

Generally, URL/Website addresses are not permitted in the Public Remarks. Normally they contain listor or seller/owner information that is prohibited in the Public Remarks. They are only permitted if they contain photos and other property information, without providing information for listor, listing office, seller/owner or any other party affiliated with them. There should not be any links to any of this information or to other websites as well. The restrictions on photos and v-tours also apply to websites. There should be no “for sale” or listor/listing office signs or pictures of persons in the websites. There are very few websites, if any, that do not contain information that is in violation of the rules. If you have a URL/website address in the Public Remarks of a listing, it will be flagged in our search for the presence of “www.”, “.com”, “.net”, etc. in our auditing process. More times than not, we end up requesting that the listors remove them from the Public Remarks. Should you have any questions in regards to this issue, please feel free to contact our Tech Support team or Diana Haraguchi, Exec. Asst. to the President/CEO. Contact information is available at the end of this bulletin.

Video & Virtual Tours
Automated Auditing Program

We have an automated auditing program in place that alerts us to the addition of any video or virtual tours (aka V-tours) to listings on a daily basis. These V-tours are scrutinized for information for listor, seller/owner, or any other party affiliated with them. We also review V-tours for any promotional or marketing information made available for the benefit of any entity or party, and for any links to this information as well as to other websites. V-tours should be “unbranded” and should not in any way provide the viewer information identifying the listor, listing office or seller/owner. Acceptable is the name of the tour production companies, but no contact information on or links to contact these companies may be provided. We will soon be proactively auditing V-tours that were submitted to our service prior to our activating the automated audit program. So please remove or revise your V-tours if you have any linked to your listings that contain information that is not in compliance with the rules.
