TOP FAVORITE ANSWERS


Will I still have to "update" my listings every 45 days?

No! That is not required on the FlexMLS platform. Your listings will remain in whatever status you sent them to (of course until they reach an expire date, if they do). Just be sure that you update them to any other appropriate status as needed (Contingent, Closed, etc). Yay!


Is there an app?

Yes! FBS Data has a dedicated app. Read more about the app here.


Will I be logged out regularly through the day?

No! Any secure system must have an auto logout programmed in. However, FlexMLS allows for a longer period, so you will be able to stay in MLS much longer. It IS important that you logout when on a shared computer, however!


Can I customize my searches so I don't have to keep adding fields?

Yes! Flex is very...flexible. You can add your own search defaults so that if there is one you run frequently, you only have to click once to bring it up and view fresh results (and refine criteria as needed. Read how to here.


Did Saved Searches transfer over?

Yes - We were able to convert some of your saved search data into FlexMLS. Not all saved search data pieces were able to transfer for a variety of technical reasons. Ultimately, you will still need to proof the saved searches that you intend to use for accuracy, and refine as needed! It is extremely difficult data to convert, and we hope that what data we were able to add, is helpful to you! Read more here.


Can I have an IDX feed?

Yes! FlexMLS actually has very easy options available to make this whole process more manageable. Read the details here. If you already had an IDX feed, your vendor was contacted prior to the conversion.


Can I have admin permissions?

Of course! There are actually MUCH deeper admin options available to you now! Read the starter post here and reach out to Support@SCCMLS.com to make sure you have what you need, and to get one-on-one help with setup.


I don't like this homepage, what can I do?

LOTS! The Flex dashboard is completely customizable. Explore the basics here and if you feel stuck, reach out to Support@SCCMLS.com for additional one-on-one help!
