FAQs: Timely Status Changes

One of the most important things REcolorado does for real estate professionals like you is to provide timely, accurate listing data across Colorado. Not only does that help you better serve your clients, but it also makes the housing market work! Status changes are an important part of the equation, and the REcolorado Data Accuracy & MLS Policy team takes violations very seriously.

You must change a listing to Pending status within three days of a mutually executed contract. You only need the signatures – there’s no need to wait for earnest money! In fact, waiting on earnest money might put you at risk of a violation and fine. The status change should happen when the contract is executed, not when earnest money is deposited.

You must change your listing to Closed status within three days of closing! Don’t worry about waiting for Title paperwork or closing documents to be completed, just go ahead and change the status to Closed. Use the Closing Checklist as a guide to help you gather the information you need at closing so you can complete the status change in a timely manner.

Status changes must be made within three days, measured 24/7/365, according to MLS policy. We encourage you to follow best practices and update the status of your listing as soon as possible to ensure accurate, timely data.
