Once the listing agreement is correctly signed by all title holders and all required disclosures are completed, your listing is reviewed by a broker and submitted for a preliminary title review. If the broker has questions about the listing, they will reach out to you by email.
If the listing requires no additional information, it takes about 2 business days for most Basic listings to become live on the MLS. Premium, Platinum, and Basics in NC, NJ, and WI take about 5-7 business days to go live, since these listings include additional services that are fulfilled before the listing is published. Please also note that all required disclosures must be completed and signed by all title holders before a listing may be published on the MLS.
After it is live on the MLS, the speed it gets to other websites depends upon those websites and how fast they are able to process it. Many sites will have the listing live within 24 hours (Realtor.com is often less than 4 hours), but most say that it can take up to 72 hours. Changes to listings after the listing is live take up to 1 business day.
