Past Sales

Responsive IDX plugin provides a way to display agents' and offices' own previously sold listings directly from the MLS.

In the past, we encouraged agents to import their current listings into Pocket Listings and then mark them as sold to preserve all the details for their sales portfolio. This workflow is no longer required as we can display past sales automatically.

Restrictions and Limitations

First things first - we have to adhere to the compliance rules of each MLS, which greatly vary from market to market. Some markets provide limited data, while others do not provide sold data at all. There's not much we can about that. General rule of thumb - if we have the data, you will have it too. Keep in mind, past sales limited to only what's provided by the MLS and does not not include public record data.

• Display your own past sales only

As long as you represented one of the sides in the transaction as a listing, co-listing, selling or co-selling agent and your agent ID is on the listing, you should be able to display that sale. You can not display past sales of other agents.

• One (1) property photo only

Most markets will allow you to display only 1 primary photo of the property. No additional photos will be provided by default. Some markets can make an exception to this rule. If you believe your MLS is such an exception, contact our support so we can confirm with the MLS. At the same time, there are markets that do not allow displaying photos at all. In such case, photos will not be provided.

• No search capability for the end users

We are not allowed to provide interactive search capability for the past sales data that comes directly from the MLS. In most cases this should not pose an issue, since past sales are simply rendered as a personal portfolio.

The [past_sales] Shortcode

In general, [past_sales] shortcode supports most of the same parameters that are in the [listings] shortcode. And since there's no user interface for generating the [past_sales] shortcode, you can use rIDX listings widget to embed the [listings] shortcode and then modify some of its options.

Note

Past sales will always be limited by agent or office IDs. If neither specified within shortcode parameters, it will fall back onto your settings under Responsive IDX > Offices/Agents with office IDs taking priority over agent IDs (if both listed).
