So if the seller is not able to offer anything and cannot be held accountable then how is that agents and buyers BOTH pursue legal remedies over something that was in the MLS. Numerous times agents and buyers have made legal mountains over something offered in the MLS such as appliances, or ceiling fans, or fruit trees, etc. Is the seller not offering their home for sale in the MLS? We as an agent placing the listing in the MLS are not the owner nor are we the party offering to sell the home to a prospective buyer.

"So, now if any incentive is going to be offered it must be factually explained in the remarks."- I would assume the agent remarks and by the way, this section of the MLS is totally inadequate to state what needs to be stated. - this pretty much eliminates offering an incentive since we are either restricted to what we can say, where we can say it and or have inadequate space to say it.

So,if I were a seller who wanted to offer or promote something special on my home, I would be further ahead to sell it on my own and promote it through the numerous WEBPORTALS available to sellers.

Most words such as "acceptable" are subjective. What I might considered "well maintain" or "quality built", or "immaculate", may not be what someone else interprets.

In the end, the less we put in the MLS the better off we are as agents and members. However though, our clients are not receiving the best service if we refrain from entering alot of data in the MLS. We have always tried to supply as much information as possible so that both BUYERS and AGENTS know what to expect before they show or view a home.

In the long run, I truly feel the MLS is writing their own death sentence.
