How quickly must I submit a listing to SEFMLS after public marketing begins?

Within 1 business day of any public marketing activity, the listing broker must submit the listing to SEFMLS. Failure to do so may result in a fine starting at $2,500 for a first violation.

What is Coming Soon status and how long can it last?

Coming Soon is SEFMLS's delayed marketing status that allows public marketing (signs, social media, IDX) but prohibits showings and open houses. A listing may remain in Coming Soon status for up to 21 days from MLS entry. Days on market do not accrue during this period.

Can a seller opt out of IDX and syndication entirely without using Coming Soon?

Yes. As of October 14, 2025, SEFMLS supports Active–Display on Internet N, which suppresses IDX and syndication for the duration of the listing agreement with no fixed day cap. Full details, including any required seller disclosure form, should be confirmed at miamirealtors.com/mls.

What is an Office Exclusive listing and what restrictions apply?

An Office Exclusive listing is not distributed to other SEFMLS participants, subscribers, or the public. Public marketing — including open house promotion — is prohibited. The seller must complete the MIAMI-10 form and it must be submitted to mls@miamire.com within 2 business days of signing the listing agreement.

Are open houses allowed during Coming Soon status?

No. SEFMLS Rules Section 4.5 explicitly states that no showings or open houses are permitted while a listing is in Coming Soon status. Violations are subject to fines starting at $1,000.

Clear Cooperation

SEFMLS enforces the Clear Cooperation Policy (NAR Statement 8.0). Listing brokers must submit to the MLS within 1 business day of any public marketing. Public marketing is broadly defined to include yard signs, window flyers, social media, IDX, syndication, email blasts, and multi-brokerage communications. Fines start at $2,500 for a first violation (currently under review per NAR NXT December 2025 policy changes).

Delayed Marketing

SEFMLS supports two delayed marketing paths. Coming Soon status allows public marketing but prohibits showings and open houses for up to 21 days; a signed Seller Authorization Form is required. Active–Display on Internet N (live October 14, 2025) suppresses IDX and syndication for the full listing term with no fixed day cap; seller disclosure requirements and open-house rules for this status are not fully confirmed from accessible primary sources.

What's Unclear / Needs Confirmation

Seller disclosure form requirements and open-house rules for Active–Display on Internet N (DMEL) are not fully confirmed from publicly accessible primary sources as of June 7, 2026.
The Coming Soon Seller Authorization Form at the publicly accessible URL (August 2021 version) may be outdated; the current R&R (August 2025) permits offer acceptance during Coming Soon but the older form states offers cannot be accepted. Confirm the current form version at miamirealtors.com/mls.
CCP fine schedule maximum ($15,000) is under review by MIAMI REALTORS® following NAR NXT December 2025 policy changes; verify current amounts before relying on published figures.
