How the Multi-Listing-System Works in onOffice enterprise
List, search, and offer MLS properties to your clients in just a few clicks.
Listing Properties via the onOffice Multiple Listing Service
Offering properties on the onOffice MLS is as straightforward as using a standard property portal.
- Add specific MLS details to your property record under “Prices / Space.”
- Ensure your images do not contain watermarks for the upload. In your property files, you can select specific images exclusively for the MLS.
- Want to use custom description texts for the MLS? Activate the input fields in the Administration settings. You can then find them under “Free Text” in the property record. If these fields are left blank, your standard description texts will be transferred to the MLS.
- All set? Go to the “Marketing” tab and transfer the listing just like any other portal by clicking “Create new listing” next to “MLS page onOffice.”
- If a fellow broker offers one of your listings to their client, you will receive an automated email notification. To protect privacy, this email does not contain any prospect contact details.
Searching and Offering Properties in the Multi-Listing-System
Don’t have the right property in your own inventory to match your client’s criteria? Simply search the onOffice MLS.
- If you haven’t already, create a search profile in the corresponding address record based on your client’s preferences.
- Open the search profile and click “MLS Search” (or “External Search: MLS page onOffice”). A new tab will open, showing the Multi-Listing-System automatically filtered to match your client’s criteria.
- Scroll through the listings and open the detailed view for more information.
- To offer one or more properties to your client, add them to your shortlist. Once there, click “Offer properties” on the right side.
- A new email window will open with an automatically pre-filled template containing the selected properties. Send the email, and your clients can review the listings themselves. The contact details of the listing broker are automatically hidden.
- If your client is interested in the property, you handle all further steps directly with the fellow real estate agent who listed it.
Which Versions Include This Feature?
The onOffice MLS is included in all three versions:
- onOffice enterprise pro
- onOffice enterprise all-in

FAQ
We answer frequently asked questions about the onOffice MLS.
An MLS, short for Multi-Listing-System or Multiple Listing Service, is a closed network where real estate professionals handle joint transactions and co-brokerage. You can list your own inventory or find matching properties for your buyers based on specific search criteria. This maximizes the reach of your own listings while expanding the options available to your clients.
Our Multi-Listing-System functions just like a typical property portal. If desired, you can store specialized texts and images for the MLS listing within the property record. Afterward, properties are transferred to the MLS with a single click. To search for properties, simply define your client’s search criteria. You can open the MLS directly through the search profile, which automatically applies the filters so you can shortlist and email matching properties to your clients.
No! The contact details of the agent who listed the property are never shared with your clients. Likewise, your clients’ contact information is never shared with the listing agent—they only receive a notification stating that their property has been offered. The only contact details visible are within the internal MLS platform, allowing you and your fellow brokers to get in touch with each other directly to close the deal.
You can define the commission split within the property record in onOffice enterprise under “Prices / Space” before publishing it to the Multi-Listing-System. This information is transparently transferred. By default, the split is set to 50/50. However, this is fully customizable and can be individually negotiated and defined together with your business partner.
