Best Practices on prospecting Expired and Canceled listings

When prospecting to see if a potential seller/landlord would be interested in listing with you, it is important to do your due diligence.  More specifically, if you farm Expired or Canceled listings to get leads, be sure to cross check the property in Bright to ensure it has not subsequently been relisted.  Otherwise, it could result in a violation of REALTOR® Code of Ethics/Bright Standards of Conduct and your state laws and regulations.

Here’s how you can quickly check to see if an Expired or Canceled property has been relisted:

• From the prospective listing in Search, click the Property History link located at the top of the listing’s display.

        

• Then, underneath the MLS History Details on the Property History page, you can check both the Change Type along with its Effective Date to see when and if it has been relisted.

       

Please note, that listings in the Withdrawn and Temporarily Off Market status are still subject to an active listing agreement and should not be solicited.
