Model A — Publication Network

1. What it is and who it's for

A Publication Network gathers its members' properties into a common pool and shows them on the network's portal. It's the simplest configuration: share portfolios and appear together.

It's for you if you want to collaborate with peers in your area or your specialty without changing how you work, and without needing a Business plan.

2. What it includes

Feature	Does it have it?
Contribute to the pool and see your peers' portfolio	Yes
Your properties on the network's portal	Yes
The network's catalog on your website	🔸 Not applicable — that's an MLS Network
Office and agent directory + co-brokering	🔸 Not applicable — that's an MLS Network with co-brokering

3. What plan you need

For	Minimum plan
Contributing to the pool, seeing peers' portfolios, and appearing on the portal	Plus or higher

With Plus you get everything this configuration offers. Business isn't needed.

4. How you join

You ask to join from Connect Networks (Marketplace) and the network's owner approves your request. Until they do, your connection stays pending.

5. What you contribute and what you show

What you contribute to the pool is governed by the publication mode, set by the network's owner:

Mode	What it means for you
Manual	You choose property by property which ones to share
Automatic by default	On joining, all of them are shared, and afterwards you can switch to manual
Mandatory	All of them are always shared; the switch appears with a lock

What you show on your site: 🔸 Not applicable. This configuration doesn't bring the network's catalog to the members' websites.

6. How it works in practice

You ask to join and the owner approves.
Depending on the network's mode, you choose what to contribute or everything goes in on its own.
Your properties enter the pool and appear on the network's portal.
A buyer finds them on that portal and inquires.
That lead is yours: the property is yours and the inquiry lands in your inbox.
On top of that, inside Mapaprop you can search your peers' portfolios and write to them.

7. If you're the network's owner

What plan you need

For	Plan
Creating a new network	Business or Business Manager
Staying at the head of a network you already have	Any plan in the Business family, entity plans included

What plan your members need

For a member to…	They need
Join your network, contribute to the pool, and appear on the portal	Plus or higher

The floor is low on purpose: with Plus a member already takes part in everything your network offers. The only plan left out is FREE, which can't connect to any network.

What you configure

Name, logo, description, and the plan you offer your members.
Whether the network appears on the Marketplace or not.
The publication mode — how much your members contribute to the pool. You choose it when you create the network.
Approving, rejecting, and removing members.

What you ask us for

Changing the publication mode after the network is created. It reaches every member — the ones already inside accepted the current one — so the change is requested and justified.
Turning your network into an MLS Network or an MLS Network with co-brokering.
🌐 Your network's public portal: a site with the catalog of all your members, under your brand and your domain. We develop it, or your team does with our APIs — either way, data access comes included with Business Manager. With Business, write to us and we'll look at your case. → How it works
The entity agreement, if your members get a special price.

There's a single criterion: what affects third parties is turned on by us; what affects only your network, by you.

What happens if you lose your plan

Your network is hidden, not deleted. It leaves the Marketplace, a 90-day grace period starts, and you're left in read mode: you can see it, but not publish or edit it.

Your members are third parties: deleting the network would destroy the membership of people who did nothing. That's why deletion is never automatic — if it comes to that, we talk it through with you.

Reactivate your plan and the network comes back.
