This video explains the requirements and procedures for handling Office Exclusive and Delayed Entry listings within CVRMLS, including timelines, documentation, and marketing restrictions.

CVRMLS requires that all listings be submitted to the MLS system within defined timeframes unless the seller elects to opt out. If the seller opts out of MLS submission, the listing firm may take the listing as an office exclusive/delayed entry listing. 

Delayed Entry Listing -A listing that will be entered into the MLS at a later date, as specified by the seller.
Office Exclusive Listing -A listing subject to a ratified listing agreement that is not entered into the MLS and is only marketed internally within the listing brokerage.

Both Delayed Entry and Office Exclusive listings require:

• A ratified Owner Listing Opt-Out Authorization Form
• Submission to CVRMLS no later than 3 calendar days after listing agreement ratification. 

Marketing Restrictions

• No public marketing is permitted

• Marketing is limited strictly to:

  • Agents within the listing brokerage firm

• Listings may not be shared publicly, including but not limited to:

  • Websites
  • Social media
  • Email campaigns to external parties

If any public marketing occurs, the listing must be entered into the MLS within 1 business day. This rule applies regardless of prior Office Exclusive or Delayed Entry status.
