RatePlug Program

Communications Notice to Brokers Only:

New FREE* RatePlug Program available for Metro MLS Brokers and their Agents starting August 12th.

RatePlug is an automated marketing program that displays valuable, interactive mortgage payment and product information from your lending partners on property reports you send through the MLS system.

This system provides Real Estate Brokers with an affiliated mortgage entity, the opportunity to display their Lender’s live mortgage payment and product information on property flyers created through the RatePlug system for Agent open houses and general marketing purposes. This gives homebuyers accurate housing payments options when they are looking at homes.

For Brokers that do not have an affiliated mortgage group, the program allows their individual agents to display payment information from Lender(s) the agents trust.

Within FlexMLS, the Calculator tab will be relabeled as Mortgage Info and will be updated to display averaged local mortgage information and payments specific to each property sent to the home buyer through the MLS system. This general information is displayed for all members.

The Broker partner Lender(s) or Agents preferred Lender(s) will show here once the Broker/Agent has opted into RatePlug.
