How do I keep my real estate website MLS and IDX compliant?

Keep your site IDX compliant by showing listings only through a licensed IDX display, keeping the MLS attribution and disclaimers your MLS requires, never copying listing data into your own pages, and following your MLS's display rules. On Savvy Studio, listings reach visitors only through RealSavvy widgets, and the editor keeps required attribution and disclaimers in place. Your MLS and broker set the final rules.

Compliance checklist

  • Show listings only through your licensed IDX display
  • Keep the MLS attribution, logo and disclaimers on every listing view
  • Do not copy addresses, prices, photos or MLS numbers into page text or code
  • Show only statuses your MLS allows, such as sold data
  • Show your brokerage name as your MLS and state require
  • Review your MLS's IDX rules and ask your broker when unsure

Why copying listings is a problem

MLS rules require listings to show through a licensed display with attribution. A listing pasted into a page goes stale, loses its attribution and may break your MLS agreement. That is why AI website builders should not copy listings into a site. On Savvy Studio, the AI never receives listing data and no tool returns listing rows.

What Savvy Studio enforces

IDX display rules, required disclaimers, fair-housing and TCPA opt-in are enforced in the editor. If an edit would remove something the MLS requires, the editor keeps it and explains why. Listings sync automatically, so you are not managing stale data. Your own review still matters for content you write, such as neighborhood descriptions.

Can I write about a listing in a blog post?

Check your MLS rules. Many agents link to the listing's page on their site instead of repeating its details, so attribution and status stay correct.

Who is responsible for compliance?

You and your broker are responsible under your MLS agreement. Tools help by enforcing display rules, but check with your broker or MLS when unsure.

Does Savvy Studio show sold listings?

Yes, where your MLS allows it. Active, pending and sold listings appear according to your MLS feed's rules, and they sync automatically.
