Listing View Counts has a new graph feature
We’ve had a lot of positive feedback regarding our new Listing View Counts feature on RMLSweb. As you know, Listing View Counts allows listing agents to see how often the public and other subscribers are viewing their listings. To make Listing View Counts even better, we’ve added a new graph feature that allows you to see a graph of listing views for the last 30 days!
You have the choice between inserting a bar graph, a line graph, or no graph at all into your report. We have also combined the RMLSweb Mobile Detail counts with the RMLSweb Detail counts.
Here is an example of the bar graph:

When loading a new listing, a REALTOR® has a multitude of factors to consider. While worrying about complex issues such as pricing and competition, it can be easy to forget a regulation or two. However, a basic understanding of our rules and regulations will help make the listing process easier and more efficient for both REALTOR® and client.
The following are some of the most frequently forgotten rules and regulations that a REALTOR® should keep in mind to ensure his or her listings are correct, fair, and – most importantly – effective!
- When adding a “Virtual Tour” or “Video Tour” for a listing, please double-check that the tour is free of branding (such as personal contact information or advertising).
- Similarly, links or contact information (including notes such as, “Call listing agent,” or, “Call for appointment”) are not allowed in the “Public Remarks” section of a listing.
- There are still many listings that do not have the correct photograph in the number 1 space. The first photograph should always be of the exterior building view. (If the property is land, the first photograph should be of the bare land.) Remember, RMLS™ offers up to 15 additional photo spaces for any other shots of the listing you might want to add!
If you would like to get reacquainted with all of our up-to-date rules and regulations, please check out Document 1450 at RMLSweb. You might also like to take our most recent Rules and Regulations Quizzes (Quizzes 14 and 15), to test yourself!

See how often your listing is viewed!
After hearing requests from subscribers, the Listing View Counts feature is now available on RMLSweb. This means that listing agents are now able to see how often the public and other subscribers are viewing their listings.
In addition, listing agents can share the impact of their online marketing efforts by showing their clients the Listing View Counts report. Agents can also use these statistics in listing presentations and to see if a listing is being considered, but not shown.
To access Listing View Counts, follow these steps below:
1) Access your listings in Listing Load under Back Office. You will see the Listing View Counts button to the far right (lower) of the screen.
2) You can select the “View Counts” button to see a quick snapshot of your listing view counts.
3) Then, you can select the “View Counts Report” button to see more detail on listing views. For example, you can see more detail on listing views from the day before, 7, 14, or 30 days back, and the life of a listing (as far back as 8/1/2010).
4) On the Listing View Counts Report page, you will see the ability to convert to PDF or print in the upper right corner of the screen.
Remember, each time a report is viewed counts as a listing view and listings are not counted when they come up in a search, but when a more detailed report is selected.
