Now Office Secretaries/Admins and Personal Assistants can join Bright online

To make the process easier for Brokers and Appraisers to approve and have their assistants access Bright MLS, we automated the application process.  Now, personal assistants and office secretaries/admins can submit an application to join or reactivate their subscription online from Bright. Watch this video to learn how to join as a personal assistant. 

Previously, this process required your Broker to submit a paper application that listed the information and indicated if you were assisting a whole office or individuals within an office. 

Now, administrative assistants should go to BrightMLS.com/join to submit their application and choose from one of the following roles: 

  • Office Secretary: A person who assists the entire office and all the members within the office.  
  • Personal Assistant: A person who assists specific individual(s) within the office. 

Please note, if you select Personal Assistant, you can add and enter as part of your online application up to five individuals/agents that you support by entering their name or agent ID.  If you assist more than five agents, please send those additional names via email directly to our support team, and they will be added to your application.

 

If you are submitting the application as a Personal Assistant to an Appraiser, you should only enter and add the name or ID of the Appraiser you are supporting.      

Here’s how the online application process works for office secretaries/admins and personal assistants in Bright.  

  • Go to the Brightmls.com/join.
  • Click the Join Bright MLS.
  • Select your office role from the following options: Office Secretary or Personal Assistant.
  • Enter the information required for each step outlined in the electronic application process, review/accept the license agreement, and click Submit.  

Once completed, you will receive email notifications about the status of your application.  

Only your Broker of Record, Appraiser, or assigned Authorized Signer can approve your application.   
 
Please note: All applications must be approved and subsequently activated by the Office Secretary or Personal Assistant within 14 days. After this time, the application will expire, and you will need to resubmit your application.
