Overview
- CRMLS, which released the results Tuesday, reported 58.3% support for the policy, 12.5% neutral, and 17.24% not supportive at all.
- The Clear Cooperation Policy requires any publicly marketed listing to be entered into the MLS within one day, and many agents asked for more time to meet that deadline.
- Respondents frequently warned that private or off-market listing networks reduce transparency and can disadvantage sellers who miss wider exposure.
- The survey focused on users who sold at least one property since Jan. 1, 2026, reflecting views of active listing agents rather than all MLS participants.
- CRMLS said it will keep the policy’s core goal of open access and will evaluate implementation improvements, with CEO Art Carter arguing the rule enables competition.
