At Large Broker Request to Participate
In conformity with the Stellar MLS Rules and Regulations and any reciprocal MLS Rules &
Regulations, in which I agree to abide, I request participation in the Stellar Multiple Listing Service.
I understand that as the participant, there is a one-time application fee of $215.00 plus an annual
participation fee. I will be assessed the participation fee for those employed by or affiliated with my
firm choosing to join Stellar MLS.
I also understand that the MLS exists for participants to exchange offers of cooperation and
compensation on listings and that neither I, nor any of my licensees, may sell, lease, exchange,
transmit or otherwise disseminate data on active listings to the general public.
The Participant indemnifies the Stellar Multiple Listing Service and any reciprocal Multiple Listing
Service and agrees to hold harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs and
expenses of any kind, including attorney’s fees, and from liability to any person arising from a
Participant’s negligence.
Definition of MLS Participant
Where the term REALTOR
®
is used in this explanation of policy in connection with the word member or
the word participant, it shall be construed to mean the REALTOR
®
principal or principals, of this or any
other association, or a firm comprised of REALTOR
®
principals participating in a multiple listing service
owned and operated by the board. Participatory rights shall be held by an individual principal broker
unless determined by the association or MLS to be held by a firm. It shall not be construed to include
individuals other than a principal or principals who are REALTOR
®
members of this or any other
association, or who are legally entitled to participate without association membership. However,
under no circumstances is any individual or firm, regardless of membership status, entitled to MLS
membership or participation unless they hold a current, valid real estate broker’s license and offer or
accept cooperation and compensation to and from other participants or are licensed or certified by an
appropriate state regulatory agency to engage in the appraisal of real property. Use of information
developed by or published by an association multiple listing service is strictly limited to the activities
authorized under a participant’s licensure(s) or certification and unauthorized uses are prohibited.
Mere possession of a broker’s license is not sufficient to qualify for MLS participation. Rather, the
requirement that an individual or firm offers or accepts cooperation and compensation means that the
participant actively endeavors during the operation of its real estate business to list real property of
the type listed on the MLS and/or to accept offers of cooperation and compensation made by listing
brokers or agents in the MLS. “Actively” means on a continual and ongoing basis during the operation
of the
participant’s real estate business. The “actively” requirement is not intended to preclude MLS
participation by a participant or potential participant that operates a real estate business on a part-
time, seasonal, or similarly time-limited basis or that has its business interrupted by periods of relative
inactivity occasioned by market conditions. Similarly, the requirement is not intended to deny MLS
participation to a participant or potential participant who has not achieved a minimum number of
transactions despite good faith efforts. Nor is it intended to permit an MLS to deny participation based
on the level of service provided by the participant or potential participant as long as the level of
service satisfies state law. (Adopted 11/08)
The key is that the participant or potential participant actively endeavors to make or accept offers of
cooperation and compensation with respect to properties of the type that are listed on the MLS in
which participation is sought. This requirement does not permit an MLS to deny participation to a
participant or potential participant that operates a “Virtual Office Website” (VOW) (including a VOW
that the participant uses to refer customers to other participants) if the participant or potential
participant actively endeavors to make or accept offers of cooperation and compensation. An MLS
may evaluate whether a participant or potential participant actively endeavors during the operation of
its real estate business to offer or accept cooperation and compensation only if the MLS has a
reasonable basis to believe that the participant or potential participant is in fact not doing so. The
membership requirement shall be applied in a nondiscriminatory manner to all participants and
potential participants. (Adopted 11/08)
*Compensation is unconditional except where local MLS rules permit listing brokers to reserve the right to
reduce compensation offers to cooperating brokers in the event that the commission established in a listing
contract is reduced by court action or by actions of a lender. Refer to Part Two, G., Section 1, Information
Specifying the Compensation on Each Listing Filed with a Multiple Listing Service of an Association of
REALTORS
®
, Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy. (Adopted 11/98)
