MLS must be

• A. in writing
• B. managed by RE board
• C. distributed to all members of RE board
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

MLS listings operate under three requirements: they must be in writing, they must be managed by the real estate board, and the listing information must be distributed to all members of the board. The listing agreement being in writing creates a binding contract between seller and broker and provides the terms that govern the listing on MLS. The board’s management of MLS ensures consistent rules, governance, and data standards so every listing is handled uniformly. Distributing the listing to all board members guarantees that every licensee has access to the same information, promoting transparency and fair exposure for sellers. Because all three conditions are part of how MLS is designed to function, all of the above is the correct choice.
