Network / MLS Property
A Network Property is a listing published on the network by another Network Broker peer. You didn't load it and you don't own it in the system: it belongs to a professional in the same network as you, who shares it so every member can see it, show it, and receive inquiries about it.
⚠️ This property isn't yours. You won't be able to edit it, change its price, or modify its status. You can only view it, show it, and write to the broker who published it.
Where you see your peers' properties
In any network, from day one. Seeing your peers' portfolio comes with membership: it doesn't depend on which features the network has on, nor on anyone enabling it. On the Plus plan you already see them.
What changes is where they appear:
| Where | What it is | In which networks? |
|---|---|---|
| Inside Mapaprop | Under Properties → Networks tab: pick the network and see its full pool | In all of them |
| The network's portal | The public site with every member's catalog, if the network has one built | In all of them |
| Your own website | The network's catalog appears inside your site, as if it were part of your stock | Only on MLS Network and MLS Network with co-brokering, and you need the Business plan |
💰 Why the third row is the one that sells: you don't need to own the property to show it. If a buyer comes to your site and inquires about a peer's property, that lead is yours — it came in through your site. Then you coordinate with the property's owner and split the business. The exact detail is in Network Leads / Messages.
What you can do with a Network Property
| Action | Can you? |
|---|---|
| View the full listing (photos, description, price, broker's details) | Yes |
| Write to the owning broker about that property | Yes — with the Inquire button |
| Show it on your own website | Yes — on MLS Network and MLS Network with co-brokering, on the Business plan |
| Share the listing | Yes |
| Edit its data | No |
| Change its status (sold, rented…) | No |
| Publish or unpublish it | No |
| Delete it | No |
💬 Where the button is. On each network property's card you'll see Inquire, and inside the listing, Inquire about this property. It shows up on any network and on any plan that lets you be in one — the network doesn't have to be an MLS.
What the listing looks like
You'll find the same information the broker published: photos, description, price, areas, features, and location. You'll also see the contact details of the broker who published it (office name, phone, and email), so you can coordinate directly if needed.
💡 If the broker loaded the property in full, the listing you see is exactly the one potential buyers see. If information is missing, it's because your peer didn't load it.
How to tell them apart from yours
Every network property is identified with the information of the broker who loaded it. And they don't get mixed in with yours: your properties panel still shows only your own portfolio — the network's live under the Networks tab.
When a Network Property stops appearing
A Network Property stops appearing in the network's searches if:
- The owning broker marked it Sold, Rented, Reserved, or Suspended — closing statuses and suspension pull it out of searches automatically.
- The owning broker unpublished or deleted it from their account.
- The owning broker disconnected from the network or canceled their subscription.
- The network itself closes or stops being active.
In all those cases you don't have to do anything on your end: the property leaves the listing on its own.
Leaving searches isn't disappearing
When a property leaves due to a status change (Reserved / Sold / Rented / Suspended), what it leaves is the network's searches: other members stop finding it when they search. But the property isn't deleted. If you already had direct access to its listing — say, because you're co-brokering or have an open deal on it — you keep seeing it through the link you already had. Leaving the network means leaving searches, not disappearing from the system.
Your deals and statistics keep counting
A property leaving searches erases nothing of what already happened with it. The deal you closed stays on record, with its amount, its date and its commission, and it keeps adding up in reports: in yours and in the network's.
It's the difference between the two things the network does:
| Searches | Show what is available today. A sold property shouldn't appear there. |
| Reports | Show what happened over a period. A closed sale is exactly what they should show. |
That's why a sold property disappears from the network's search and at the same time keeps counting in statistics. It isn't an inconsistency: they're two different questions.
If the deal falls through, the property comes back to the network
If the property left because the owning broker marked it Reserved, Sold, or Rented, and that deal later falls through (or the broker sets it back to Available), it comes back to the network. How it comes back depends on how that network publishes:
| How the network publishes | What happens once the property is available |
|---|---|
| Publishes everything automatically | It comes back on its own. Nothing to do: the system brings it back to searches. |
| The broker picks property by property | The owning broker shares it again with one click, from the same screen where they had shared it. |
If you don't know how your network publishes, check the network screen in your account: when publishing is automatic, the system tells you so and doesn't let you pick property by property.
