Just to share a recent story, not even a month old, I approached an agent about a condo she had listed on the PLN. When I asked her the following questions she didn't know the answers. What are the reserves? Are they making the contribution the equivalent of 10% of the budget to the reserves? What's the owner occupancy? You mentioned that there are two condos in the building, but the tax records indicate they're three condos in the building can you confirm number of units? Here are the answers I received: I don't know the reserves. They are definitely not making a contribution 10% of the reserves. I don't know the owner occupancy. I will need to check to see how many units are in the association.
Permission to be sloppy and lazy?
I get more info on listings from Zenlist, Top Agent Network and my brokerages internal database including the price when its not on the PLN.
The search function is awful.
There is an incredibly simple answer, the PLN should be a reflection of the MLS, full stop.
Same info is required.
This fixes your search issue, holds agents accountable, reduces the number of failed transactions and most important insures the seller's are properly represented.
Thank you everyone for your feedback, I wanted to answer a few questions I see above.
@Leah Eva - Yes, you can include more than one photo. Zenlist will only have private listings for the offices that have opted into sharing their listings with that company.
@Joanne Rancich - if the private listing transitions to a standard listing as active, the time it was in private will not be included in the market time. You just have to make sure that the list date matches the day you are going live in the standard network.

PLEASE require a picture of the property and ENfORCE it!
Or is up to me to make a correction? But you can't in the PLN.
Hmmmm
