SkySlope File Ownership Requirements

Title:
SkySlope File Ownership Requirements for Realty ONE Group MVP

Overview:
Correct file ownership in SkySlope is critical to commission processing, production tracking, and brokerage compliance at Realty ONE Group MVP. Because SkySlope, MLS, contracts, and internal payment systems are interconnected, consistency from file creation through closing is required to avoid delays, misapplied credit, or commission issues.

Key Guidance:

• Primary Agent as File Owner

  • All SkySlope files must be created with the primary agent as the file owner.

  • File ownership establishes:

    • Commission routing

    • Production and credit assignment

    • Broker oversight and audit tracking

• Adding Co-Agents

  • Co-agents may be added:

    • At the time the file is created, or

    • At any point during the transaction

  • Adding a co-agent does not change file ownership.

• Team Leader Production Credit

  • If a team leader wishes to receive MLS production credit, the team leader must be the:

    • Primary listing agent in MLS

    • Primary agent on the SkySlope file

    • Named agent on the listing agreement

    • Named agent on the purchase contract

    • Primary agent on the Get Paid form

  • All documents and systems must reflect the same primary agent to maintain compliance and continuity.

• System Consistency Is Required

  • Realty ONE Group MVP systems are interconnected.

  • The primary agent designation must match across:

    • MLS

    • SkySlope

    • Contracts and listing agreements

    • Commission and payment forms

  • Mismatched ownership can result in:

    • Delayed commission processing

    • Incorrect production reporting

    • Compliance review or correction requests

• Production Tracking

  • The brokerage tracks agent production internally, separate from MLS statistics.

  • Every agent involved in a transaction receives production credit per brokerage policy, even when MLS crediting may be limited.

Compliance Notes:

• Florida brokers are required to supervise transactions and ensure accurate recordkeeping and commission disbursement (Florida Statutes §475.25; FREC Rule 61J2-10).

• Commission payments are based on brokerage records and agreements, not solely MLS designations.

• REALTORS® must act competently and avoid misrepresentation in agency, documentation, and reporting (NAR Code of Ethics Articles 1, 11, and 12).

• Brokerage policy governs file ownership, commission routing, and production credit.

Bottom Line:
At Realty ONE Group MVP, the primary agent must be consistent across MLS, SkySlope, contracts, and payment forms. This alignment protects commission accuracy, ensures proper production credit, and supports broker supervision. Set file ownership correctly at the start—fixing it later can delay payment and create compliance issues.
