I’m a real estate agent and want to list a home on an MLS where I am not a member. Can I use homecoin?

Yes, with two important limitations:

1. The owner must remain the document signer unless you have accepted legal authority to sign for them. Add each owner in the Seller role using the owner’s own email address and personal phone number. Add yourself in the Agent or Admin role, as appropriate. You can complete most listing forms, receive transaction updates, and help with negotiations and paperwork, but a separate listing agreement between you and the owner does not authorize you to sign homecoin documents for the owner.
2. The MLS may not allow you to appear as the listing contact. Some MLSs prohibit an agent who is not a member of that MLS from serving as the listing contact. When that rule applies, buyer inquiries and offers can go to the owner, who may then forward them to you.

How owner account access and signing work

After People & Roles is successfully saved, homecoin sends each owner the account-access message appropriate for their current account. A new or passwordless owner receives a private seven-day setup invitation. An existing owner continues using their current homecoin password or linked Apple, Google, or Microsoft account. An owner who only needs email verification receives a verification email instead of a new-account invitation.

homecoin does not send temporary passwords. The owner must personally complete activation, verify their email when required, and accept the current E-Sign Consent and Electronic Records Delivery. Account-level consent does not sign a listing document; each document requires a separate action confirming the owner’s intent to sign it.

If the owner has withdrawn electronic consent, the owner must personally restore it before adding a new signature. An agent or administrator cannot accept electronic consent for the owner.

In-person secondary signing

When in-person secondary signing is available, the named owner may sign on a shared device only by personally entering their own usable homecoin password and confirming their identity and intent. The password must be entered only on homecoin and must never be requested, sent, or shared by email or text.

Password entry does not transfer signing authority to the agent or change the identity of the document signer. The signature remains attributed to the named owner. A social-only owner can sign personally from their own account; a usable homecoin password is required only for the in-person secondary-signing option.

What if I have Power of Attorney or other legal authority?

If you believe you have Power of Attorney or another form of legal authority to sign for the owner, provide the supporting documents for homecoin’s review. Do not assume that an agency agreement, listing agreement, or real estate license alone authorizes you to sign as the owner.
