How to Utilize your "Featured Listings" Feature
on your MLS Website

 

On every MLS website we create, a "Featured Listings" page is a standard feature of your website. The link will be as follows - with your web URL and client ID substituted in as noted:

 

http://YOURWEBNAME.mlsb.com/mls/featured.cfm?cid=YOUR CLIENT ID  

 

Your client ID is a four digit number that shows in all of your MLS custom pages. Please ask if you do not know what it is.

 


 

In addition to this page, which shows every one of your listings, you can also have a "Solds Gallery" showing your sold homes. Or you may opt to include your sold/pending listings at the bottom of your "Featured Listings" page.

 

A "Solds Gallery" page can be created with this link:

 

http://YOURWEBNAME.mlsb.com/mls/solds.cfm?cid=YOUR CLIENT ID  

 


 

If you would prefer your pending/sold listings to appear at the bottom of your "Featured Listings" page, log in to the administration section of your website. Click on Account Set Up>General Settings. Click on the YES button for the item: Show Sold/Pending Properties on Featured Listings Page.

 

 


 

All of your listings will automatically show up in your "Featured Listings" page, so long as your MLS is set up correctly with your agent or office code. If they do not, notify us so that we can get them set up straight.

 


 

As soon as a house comes off the market (sold, pending or otherwise), it will be removed from your "Featured Listings" page. There are a couple of minor steps you then take to include it in either your sold/pending listings on your "Featured Listings" page or in your "Solds Gallery".

 

To do this, log into your site administration section and click on Listings>Sold/Pending. Each home that you have had in the system that is no longer active will be residing here. They just hide out here until you have decided that you would like for them to show on your website.

 

In order to make one of these properties show on your website as sold or pending, click on the property name. Under Modify Property Info, the first two options are "Show on Website" and "Property Status". Click YES for "Show on Website" and set the status as either Pending, Sold, or Unknown.

 

 

You can also enter data for the "Sold Price" if you would like that to show as well as the asking price.

 

When you are done, click "Submit Changes".

 

The property will now show on your website in the place you have selected, either your "Solds Gallery", or at the bottom of your "Featured Listings" page, under a new header called "Sold/Pending Properties".

 

If you want to completely remove this property from your website, go back to this section of the administration and click NO for "Show on Website".
