Member Listing vs Official Listing: Understanding the Difference in ListingMine Groups
Inside every ListingMine Group, members can see and share listings with one another. This creates a private co-broking environment where everyone works together more efficiently. But not all listings inside a group are the same. There are two main types of listings:
- Member Listings
- Official Listings
Each serves a different purpose — and knowing the difference helps you decide which to focus on, how to trust the data, and how to approach co-broking.
1. What Is a Member Listing?
A Member Listing is a listing shared by a group member. Every agent in the group can upload and share their own listings to make them visible to others. This way, members can co-broke easily, see what’s available, and match buyers faster. In short, Member Listings = Crowd-sourced opportunities.
- Uploaded by individual members
- Meant for internal sharing within the group
- Useful for expanding co-broke inventory
- Based on each agent’s own listing access
These listings can still be powerful if well-maintained — but their reliability depends on the agent who shared them.
2. What Is an Official Listing?
An Official Listing is shared by the Group Admin (or assigned by the organization). These listings usually represent the preferred stock the group is focusing on — often with:
- Stronger commissions
- Direct appointments to sell
- Better documentation or verified owners
Because they’re uploaded by the Group Admin, Official Listings tend to be more reliable, structured, and verified. They are often part of the group’s core sales strategy, where the admin ensures:
- Proper authorization
- Clear commission structures
- Priority exposure within the group
In other words, Official Listings = Strategic focus listings.
3. ACN Role Assignments: How Both Listing Types Work
Both Member Listings and Official Listings can use ACN (Agent Cooperation Network) roles. This means roles such as:
- Listing Input Agent
- Verifier
- Promoter
- Buyer Closer
- Transaction Advisor
…can be assigned to track contribution, manage fairness, and ensure transparent commission splits.
However, Official Listings using ACN are usually more trustworthy because:
- The commission split is set by the Group Admin, not by an individual
- The listing has verified roles and documentation
- It reflects the group’s official selling structure
That said, a Member Listing using ACN can still be strong — especially if the member is transparent, maintains good data, and sets fair splits. So while Official Listings are usually the safer choice for new agents, experienced members can still gain value from Member Listings — especially in niche areas or special stock.
4. When to Focus on Each
Use Member Listings when:
- You want more options to match your buyers
- You’re exploring new areas or submarkets
- You trust the members sharing their data
Use Official Listings when:
- You want verified, high-commission stock
- You need assurance that roles and splits are clear
- You prefer admin-managed projects or appointments
5. The Smartest Approach
Inside ListingMine, you don’t have to choose one or the other. The Group Feed shows both Member and Official Listings — giving you a complete view of available opportunities. Use Official Listings for security and reliability, and Member Listings for variety and speed. Together, they create a balanced ecosystem — one built for trust, teamwork, and transparency.
ListingMine Groups make co-broking smarter by showing you not just what’s available, but also who shared it and how roles are defined. No more guesswork. No more missing opportunities. Just clear listings, clear splits, and clear teamwork.
