Internet Remarks is now a required field

We have noticed that far too many listings that originate from GFC CMLS and appear on consumer-facing sites such as Listingbook, Realtor.com, and other IDX sites have no public comments, which does a major disservice to your seller. We have therefore made it mandatory that at least the first line of the Internet Remarks section is populated.

This will also affect listing modifcation. When you go to make a change to your listing, the system will detect that there is a required field that is blank, and you will have to enter something into at least the first line of the Internet Remarks section in order to save your listing change.

As we transition to Matrix, you will see that there are two different remarks sections on detailed reports: Public Remarks and Agent Remarks. The text you enter in our current Internet Remarks section will populate the Public Remarks section, and that which you enter into the current Remarks section will appear in the Agent Remarks section. Please keep your audience in mind when filling out these two fields on your listings.
