Yes. If we were to enter your listing into the MLS, it would eventually overwrite your existing claimed listing on Zillow and/or Trulia.  While we, of course, do not have control over third-party websites like Zillow and/or Trulia, much of the syndication process from MLS PIN to third-party websites is near real-time and typically completes in “hours”.

Historically, we advised FSBOs to not claim their listing on Zillow ahead of using an entry only MLS listing because it seemed to cause delays in the syndication process, however, it does appear Zillow’s January 2021 business model change in becoming a real estate brokerage and the resulting change in how they technically integrate with, and get their listing data from, MLS systems across the country eliminated syndication errors, blocks, and/or delays in syndication to Zillow.

Forty two (42). 42 is the maximum number of photos the MLS system itself allows. Entry Only New England uses MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN), New England’s largest multiple listing service.  For additional guidance on entry only MLS listing photos, see the FAQ called Can I get more information on property photos for my Massachusetts MLS listing?

Simply put, an entry only MLS listing, paid for with a one-time flat fee, is an ideal way to get your property listed for sale or rent in the official Massachusetts MLS system, drive exposure for your property, and do it all by owner without an agent so you can save thousands in real estate agent commission.  For sale by owner (FSBO) sellers leverage this flat fee MLS model to list on the MLS without an agent, and by doing so, they avoid paying a commission to both a listing brokerage and a Buyer’s Agent.

Yes, of course. There are two documents in the clickwrap agreement you will review and accept in conjunction with your entry only MLS listing. First, the Massachusetts Mandatory Licensee Consumer Relationship Disclosure, and second, the Listing Advertisement Agreement. Feel free to review the terms of each here.

Entry Only New England is a member of the Stuart St James family of real estate related brands. Stuart St James is a residential real estate brokerage with  headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts.  Entry Only New England is a website platform that Stuart St James created to assist for sale by owners (FSBO) list their Massachusetts property in the MLS for a one-time flat fee. Should you proceed with an entry only MLS listing, Stuart St James will be the licensed real estate brokerage which enters your property into the MLS system itself and will be the listing brokerage cited on third party websites like Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc. to which MLS listings are syndicated.
