MLS Approval Guide - How Real Geeks Connects Your Website to the MLS

MLS approval is the process by which your MLS board reviews and authorizes your Real Geeks website to display IDX (Internet Data Exchange) listing data. Your site cannot show live MLS listings until this approval is granted, making it one of the most critical steps in your website setup.

You typically receive MLS approval instructions during sign-up. If you need them resent, email idx@realgeeks.com and we'll get those sent back to you.

What are the common MLS requirements?

Some MLS boards require additional setup steps before they will approve your website. These requirements vary by MLS.

If your MLS approval instructions mention any of the items below, follow the related guide to complete that requirement.

• Complete your website setup
• Register as a DMCA Designated Agent
• Add your brokerage logo to your website

Each guide will walk you through the steps required to meet that MLS requirement and help move your approval process forward.

How do I update my logo and brokerage information?

The video below walks you through how to:

• Upload your brokerage logo

• Add your brokerage information to your website footer

Many MLS boards require this information to appear on your website before IDX approval can be granted.

Completing these steps early can help prevent delays in your approval process.

Approval timelines vary by MLS board. If you have not heard back within a few business days of submitting your application, contact your Onboarding Advisor for a status update.
