Can an Agent Enter Their Own Property for Sale in the MLS?

Yes, an agent can enter their own property for sale in the MLS — as long as they have signed a listing agreement with their broker.

What's required

A valid, signed listing agreement between the agent (as seller) and their broker must be in place before the listing can be entered into Matrix. The same MLS rules that apply to any other listing apply here — the broker must authorize the listing.

Common questions

Can I list my own home myself without a broker agreement?
No. All listings submitted to MLS Now must be covered by a signed listing agreement with a licensed broker, regardless of whether the agent owns the property.

Do I need to disclose that I am the owner?
Yes. Agents are required to disclose their ownership interest in any property they list or sell. This is typically noted in the listing and any offer documentation.
