Tip #1

Consult your board/association for information and/or courses on how to enter and maintain your listing in your MLS® System.

Tip #2

Fill in the blanks: As much as possible, don't leave any MLS® fields blank, fill in as much information as you can. Check with your local board / association to understand which fields can be uploaded to REALTOR.ca.

Tip #3

Don't forget the keywords: As mentioned in Milestone #2, look-up the top search keywords in the listing's city. If any of these keywords are applicable to your listing, make sure to highlight them to increase its chances of being found by potential buyers.
