Click here for a Print version of these instructions (pdf)
- Log on to NorthstarMLS Home Base (click the "Home Base" tab in NorthstarMLS Matrix or click the Home Base link on NorthstarMLS.com). Your ID and password for NorthstarMLS Home Base is the same as you use for NorthstarMLS Matrix.
- In the blue navigation menu (left side of screen), click the link "Edit By MLS#" (you can also add open houses when first entering a listing onto the system).
- Type in the MLS# for the listing to which you want to add/edit open houses (you must be the List Agent or Co-List Agent, or have Office Broker or Head Broker access for the List Office in order to add/edit Open Houses for a listing). Click the "Submit" button.
- Click the "Open House" tab (depending on your access level, that may be the only tab you see). Click the "Add" button. Upon clicking the Add button, the data entry fields will appear on the screen.
- Fill out all the Open House data fields (Description field is optional). If you select "Public" as the Open House Type, the data (except the Description field) will go to Broker Web sites that participate in the Broker Reciprocity program.
- To add a second open house date/time, click the "Add" button again (add as many as you wish). To delete an open house, click the "Delete" button beneath the open house you want to delete. Open Houses automatically delete off of the NorthstarMLS database after the Open House Date passes.
- Click the "Submit" button to save your changes.
- Upon submitting your changes, you will be taken to the photo upload page. If you are not making any photo changes, ignore this page and log out or click to your next destination.
