When you fill out your MLS listing with homecoin, you will be asked if you want your listing passed to the internet. If you choose to pass your listing to the internet, it will be displayed on websites such as Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and many more. These websites pull their information directly from the MLS.  

The MLS has many rules on listing photos and descriptions, however, some of the rules do not apply to these websites. homecoin can make some changes to websites, but only Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin. 

What can be directly edited on Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin

The information that homecoin can change on your listing is limited and varies between the websites.
