Listing Tags
In addition to being restricted or unrestricted, listings receive a special tag to help classify them.
One of the following tags will appear on each listing:
– The Exclusive listings is not scheduled to be posted on the MLS.
– The Coming Soon listings do have an MLS listing date.
– All Assignment properties will receive this as the primary tag.
For example:
Non-CREA agents
By default, Knokd is configured for CREA REALTORS®. If you are a real estate agent who is not a member of CREA, you should update your setting:
- Log in to Knokd.
- Click Settings in the sidebar menu.
- Scroll down to the Agent information card.
- Deselect “I am a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)”.
- Click Update.
As a non-CREA agent, all property listings that you add to Knokd will be unrestricted, and made available to all Knokd users, as well as their clients and Contacts.
