Beginning October 20, Bright will automatically provide agent and broker credit for listings fully published as Office Exclusives in Bright Listing Management. This update is intended to ensure compliance and accurate data reporting.

Timeline for Office Exclusive Credits

  • New Office Exclusive Listings: Starting October 20, credit will be automatically applied to all published Office Exclusive listings when they are moved to the Closed status.
  • Historical Office Exclusive Listings: Retroactive credit will be automatically applied to closed Office Exclusive listings dating back to January 10, 2024 (the launch of the Office Exclusive status). Historical credits are expected to finish processing by mid-November.

About Office Exclusives 

Entering an Office Exclusive in Bright Listing Management alerts Bright to the existence of your listing agreement and documents your seller’s instruction to keep their listing off the MLS.

  • Privacy & Discretion: Office Exclusive listings are not distributed through the MLS and do not appear in Bright Search, providing a tailored option for sellers with safety or privacy concerns.
  • Compliance & Data Accuracy: Submitting Office Exclusives ensures your business complies with policy rules while enabling accurate internal reporting.
  • Converting an Office Exclusive to a Full Listing: If your seller’s circumstances change and they decide to market to a broader buyer pool, an Office Exclusive can easily be converted to a full public listing within Bright at any time.
