In FlexMLS, there are many enhanced ways to manage your soon-to-expire and expired listings effectively.
Remember - expired listings can be renewed within 30 days of expiring. If it is past 30 days since it expired, it's best to simply copy that older listing, and publish it new.
Let's dive in.
FIRST: SETUP EMAILS FOR LISTINGS EXPIRING SOON
Extending your listing expiration date is ideal so that you can avoid having to reactivate it later. Follow these steps to get a heads up when your listings are expiring soon:
Go into Menu in the upper left corner
Choose General Preferences
Select the Notifications tab in blue
Choose your day count and turn the toggle to ON (shows in blue when on)
Once you've setup these alerts, you may never have to re-activate a listing that has expired! But if you do, read on...
FIND AN EXPIRED LISTING
If you know the listing's MLS ID or address, the easiest way to open it for editing is to enter the address or listing ID into the Quick Launch bar. It will populate in the drown down list of results and you can click to jump straight to it.
If you DON'T know the listings MLS ID or address, you can easily find all of your expireds via Quick Search:
Click the Flexmls MENU button and choose Quick Search
UNCHECK the default status entries and choose EXPIRED instead
Scroll down a bit and click the blue Add a Field button
In the search that appears, type in: Listing/Selling Member
Click the field name to add it to your search, then close the pop up box
In that field, enter your name or MLS ID, and click to add it to the search
And you'll see all of your expired listings!
RENEW AN EXPIRED LISTING
Once you have the listing on screen, then, click the drop down action menu in the left side bar, and choose Edit Listing to open listing maintenance.
Once you are on the listing maintenance screen, select Back on Market in the lower left corner. If you do not see this option and it is your (or your office's) listing, please contact Support@SCCMLS.com, as you should have this option there.
Then follow prompts to enter the back on market date and confirm.
