Q&As

What is an Active-Coming Soon Listing at Bay East?

An Active-Coming Soon Listing at Bay East is considered a “Off-Market” listing that is entered in Paragon.

Why would I enter an Active-Coming Soon Listing in Paragon?

Seller would like to Market Property before going “Live” on the MLS. By entering the listing in Paragon one (1) business day after you have marketed the property keeps your listing compliant with MLS Clear Cooperation Rule (Sec 7.5.1).

Can I publicly advertise my listing if I have entered it as an Active-Coming Soon Listing in Paragon?

Yes, you may publicly advertise your Active-Coming Soon Listing.

Do I still need to have my Seller sign an MLSA/Waiver when I enter the listing in Paragon as an Active-Coming Soon listing?

Yes. If a property is entered into Paragon as an Active-Coming Soon listing, agents must have their seller(s) sign the MLSA/Waiver but no longer are required to send in the MLSA/Waiver to the MLS. Note: Per MLS Rule 8.2, the service has the authority to request a copy at its discretion.

Where do I get the MLSA/Waiver form to have the Seller(s) sign?

2) You can use the Bay East Waiver Form.

Do I have to have the Seller(s) sign both the MLSA and Waiver?

No, it is a choice to use either form; both forms serve the same purpose.

Once the MLSA/Waiver form is completed, where do I submit it?

Please submit it via email to bayeastcompliancedept@bayeast.org.

Will I receive a confirmation once I submit the MLSA/Waiver to Bay East?

Yes, you will receive a confirmation within 1-2 business days of submission via email.
