There are two options to create a team account: a Second Account (Named as the Team) or the Paragon Team Functionality. See the chart below for more information on these two options.
Second Account (Named as the Team) | Paragon Team Functionality | |
| Fees | 2nd PrimeMLS member account required; 50% fee discount. | No 2nd account required. No additional fees. |
| Licensing Law | Property report displays may not comply with state REC advertising laws because the actual listing agent's name may not be displayed. | Both List Agent and Team Name display on property reports. |
The Team Name is displayed as the List Agent, and thus, it is visible and prominent on all sites. | List Agent displayed as List Agent, but Team Names may or may not display on 3rd party sites. And if displayed, Team Name may not be prominent in location or font size. | |
| Statistical Reports | The Team is considered an agent within the system and will display in all "Agent" reports. | Currently only 1 Team statistical report is available in Paragon. More on request. |
| Statistical Credits | No independent credit given to List or Sell Agent. Team given 100% credit in Agent reports. No credit in Team report. | List Agent gets 100% credit (unless co-agent assigned) in Agent reports. Team Name also gets 100% credit in Team report. |
| Listing Maintenance | Agents on Team must use "Assume Identity" to access the 2nd Team account in order to add/edit listings. | All listings can be maintained from the individual member accounts provided they have been granted edit ability by the Team Lead. |
| Market Monitor | All Team listings (displayed as 2nd account Team Name) will display in the "Office" tab. | All Team listings will display in both the "Office" tab and the "Team" tab. |
| ShowingTime | All listings are tied to the Second/Team account, allowing the Team to utilize 1 ShowingTime account. | Each listing is linked to the specified List Agent’s ShowingTime account, so a Team ShowingTime account is unnecessary. |
Miscellaneous | 2nd account owner can grant "Assume Identity" power to other Team members. | PrimeMLS Staff must create the Team and add/remove members, and all Team members must be assigned to the same office. |
If you wish to create a Second Account Team, your Office Head or Admin will need to add the team to their office roster.
If you would like to create a Paragon Team, please click "Submit a Ticket" at the top, right corner of the Helpdesk, select "Membership" and include the Team Lead's full name and email address in the Description. PrimeMLS Staff will respond with the required documents via DocuSign.
