Merging Listings
Overview:
In this article, we will review how to merge listings.
You may need to merge listings in the event that you use multiple MLSes and need to combine them into one listing. Brokerage Engine has an auto-deduplication process for when one listing is posted on multiple MLSes and then imported from each MLS. The system recognizes that they are the same listing using the following deduplication criteria:
- List Price (90% similarity)
- Listing Zip Code (90% similarity)
- Listing Address (75% similarity)
- Listing Expiration Date
If the listings meet all the criteria, the system automatically merges them. However, when the deduplication criteria is not met, and the listings are in fact the same, the listings need to be merged manually.
