Did you know that over 40 percent of Fraser Valley listings are loaded by members via REALTOR® Load (ADT)? Now, you can use the same nifty method to load your Greater Vancouver listings.
The procedures are the same – the listing will be uploaded into a “for approval” status, offices email the supporting contract to mls@rebgv.org and REBGV staff will review the listing before it is “activated.”

If you’re not familiar with REALTOR® Load (ADT) and are wondering why it’s so popular with members, it’s because it’s like the Nexus line – it gets your listings processed faster.
As you’re aware, the majority of listings are still submitted via email to our MLS® department and staff manually enter all the listing data and build each new listing.
REALTOR® Load (ADT – which stands for Automated Data Transfer) takes advantage of all the work that you’ve already done on WEBForms®. After you’re done filling in your Contract, your Data Input Form and building yourTransaction Kit, and so on, instead of emailing (or faxing) them to the MLS® department, if you choose the “Upload to MLS®” button on WEBForms®, all the listing data you’ve just typed goes directly into Paragon.
It remains in “For Approval” until everything is checked by your Brokerage and MLS® staff. Once it’s approved, staff set it to “Active” and badda-bing-badda-boom, it’s there in Paragon for other members to view. This can cut the Board’s processing time down to a couple of hours.
Other plusses? It prevents you from uploading forms with errors or missing data AND it provides you with an MLS® number right away, to allow you to immediately upload your pictures, which are then ready to go when the listing goes live.
In a hot market like it is currently, REALTOR® Load (ADT) is THE fastest way to get eyeballs on your listing! Listings continue to be processed in the order that they’re received; however, REALTOR® Load listings simply get processed faster.
