In March of 2023, Heartland MLS improved and simplified the process for Private Office Exclusive Listings (POE) to ensure our REALTOR® members are following the full intent of the NAR’s Clear Cooperation Policy. NAR’s interpretation of their policy is that all listings should be entered into the MLS system, regardless of whether it is a public or private listing, to provide a complete view of the marketplace for all MLS Participants/Subscribers.
The Heartland MLS Compliance Department will educate you on what Private Office Exclusive Listings (POE) are, when to use them, how to enter them into the Heartland MLS system and how to avoid violations.
What are Private Office Exclusive Listings (POE)? The Private Office Exclusive Listing limits the marketing of a property to only other agents within the same listing brokerage (office) as defined by MLS Office ID. The Private Office Exclusive is available for the rare instance when a seller is concerned about privacy and does not want the impending sale of their property to have wide exposure or to be publicly advertised. The most common examples include high profile/celebrity clients or divorce situations.
