We have partnered with Property Shield to provide real-time, 24/7 fraud protection for all SmartMLS Subscribers, at no additional cost.
- MLS data (new and updated listings) is refreshed within Property Shield every 12 hours.
- Property Shield automatically checks third party sites against MLS data every 5 minutes.
- Matching is initially done on the property's full address.
- If the full address is not available, matching is then done on the street address and photos.
- If image matching fails, the ad is marked as fraudulent.
- When a match is found, an email is immediately sent to the list agent.
- There is also a Fraud Alert widget on the connectMLS homepage that lets you know if a potentially fraudulent ad has been found for one of your listings.
- If you don't see the Fraud Alert widget, you can easily add it to your Connect homepage. Click here for detailed instructions.
- If you review the side-by-side comparison of your listing and the questionable ad and determine that the ad is fraudulent, just click No (Is this a legitimate advertisement?) and Property Shield does the rest.
- Property Shield does all the work behind the scenes to have the fraudulent ad taken down. You do not have to get involved at all.
- You can email support@propertyshield.co if you have any questions for their support group.
