RACI LEAD Program
REALTORS® Association of Central Indiana (RACI) provides Multiple Listing Services (MLS) to its members as a member service. The MLS is a database of property information for current and past listings whereby REALTORS® can share listing information and cooperate in transactions with other REALTORS®.
We are part of the Indiana Regional MLS (IRMLS), extending opportunities to access property listings among fourteen local REALTOR® Associations throughout the state of Indiana. Our network of subscribers via IRMLS includes roughly 6000 REALTORS® in 50 counties throughout the state.
The MLS provides accurate, reliable information on real estate listings and is utilized by brokers and appraisers to provide professional service to their customers and clients. It maintains a public-facing portal at the website www.reindiana.com, allowing the public to view properties currently listed and available for sale.

New MLS Rules Categories & Escalation Process
IRMLS Rules and Regulations align with new recent NAR MLS policy requirement updates with each of the rules falling into one of three categories:
Relating to any listing information provided by a participant or subscriber.
All three of these categories begin with education first and proceed into escalating sanctions upon multiple violations. In most cases, we’ve found that MLS rules violations are not intentional and require a simple check-in from RACI MLS staff to explain the rule, the correction needed, and how to avoid a violation in the future. However, repeatedly ignoring MLS rules will not be tolerated. Repeated violation of an MLS rule will be met with escalating sanctions, including fines and/or mandatory hearings or education.
For example, a repeated violation of the same Category 1 rule would escalate from courtesy education-focused notices to an official letter of warning, and eventually to a fine or required workshop. For Category 2 and Category 3 rules, the escalation path moves more quickly to fines and mandatory hearings due to the severity of violations in these categories.
How are Violations Reported & Monitored for Compliance
Automated Notices: IRMLS has dozens of business rules tied into ListingDIV (Data Integrity Validator) which will trigger an automated notice that requires action by the listing agent to ensure the listing is in compliance. You can help maintain the integrity of your MLS by being attentive to notices sent from listingdiv@listingdiv.com and reviewing how you can prevent violations in the future.
Peer Reporting of a Violation: The MLS also allows you to manually report possible data violations to RACI MLS staff for further review. To report a violation, please send a detailed email to info@raci.org or use the Correction button in Paragon so an MLS team member can review the listing in question and respond accordingly.
Peer Reporting of a Correction: The MLS also allows you to manually report data corrections directly to the listing agent and RACI MLS staff for further review. To suggest a correction to a listing through the ListingDIV dashboard use ‘Report a Listing Error’ or in Paragon click on ! to log into ListingDIV. Please provide a detailed correction suggestion so the list agent & RACI MLS staff can review the listing in question and respond accordingly.
Every day you help us build a better, more orderly marketplace. It’s our commitment to listen, learn, and work with brokers and agents to improve the overall data quality and user experience of our MLS. When the MLS has clean, comprehensive data, your clients benefit, which is why we’re also asking for your help when it comes to maintaining adherence to IRMLS Rules & Regs and the NAR Clear Cooperation Policy.
