How to Assign Production Credit to a Team and an Individual Agent in connectMLS

In connectMLS, production credit on Team transactions can be assigned to the Team, to an individual Team member, or split between the two. To assign credit to a Team member individually, the Team Lead must first grant permission.

Enable Individual Production Credit for a Team Member

Before a Team member can receive individual credit on Team listings, the Team Lead or Team Admin must update their settings.

To do this:

1. Click on your profile photo or initials in the top right corner

2. Select Settings > Modify My connectMLS Team

3. Locate the Team member in the list and click the pencil icon next to their name
4. Set their Transaction Credit Permissionto one of the following based on your needs:

   • Listings

   • Buyers

   • Listings & Buyers

This change allows the Team member to appear as the Listing or buyer's Broker and access a field for individual production credit during listing input or editing.

Assign Credit Correctly During Listing Input or Edit

Once permission is granted, credit can be assigned at the time of listing input or by editing an existing listing.

To assign production credit:

1. Go to Listings/Transactions

2. Click the ✏️ (edit icon) next to the relevant listing

3. Click Edit Basic Listing Information

4. Scroll to the Production Credit section

5. Verify you've entered in a CoList Broker ID

You’ll see four production credit fields (listing side):

• List Broker Production Credit (%)

• List Team Production Credit (%)

• Co-List Broker Production Credit (%)

• Co-List Team Production Credit (%)

These four fields must always total 100%.

Example Credit Configurations

Credit to Team only:

List Broker Production Credit:      0%  
List Team Production Credit:      100%  
Co-List Broker Production Credit:   0%  
Co-List Team Production Credit:     0%

Split between Team and individual agent (with permission):

List Broker Production Credit:     50%  
List Team Production Credit:       50%  
Co-List Broker Production Credit:   0%  
Co-List Team Production Credit:     0%

Split between individual List Broker and Co-List Broker (no Team):

List Broker Production Credit:     50%  
Co-List Broker Production Credit:  50%

Understand How Credit Works on Both the Listing and Buyer Sides

Production credit works the same way on both the listing side and the buyer side. The fields allow flexibility in how credit is distributed between individual brokers and Teams, but the total must always equal 100%.

After a listing is Closed, the buyer side can update production credit—if the List side added a Co-Buyer Broker ID and that Co-Buyer has the appropriate Transaction Credit Permission set.

1. Go to Listings/Transactions

2. Click the ✏️ (edit icon) next to the Closed listing

3. Select Edit Buyer Production Credit

You’ll see these four buyer-side fields:

• Buyer Broker Production Credit (%)

• Buyer Team Production Credit (%)

• Co-Buyer Broker Production Credit (%)

• Co-Buyer Team Production Credit (%)

These also must total 100%.

Avoid Common Display Issues in Reports and Syndication

There are a few technical considerations when assigning credit:

• The Team ID is tied to the Team Lead, and may appear in syndicated feeds or reports even if the Team Lead is listed as a Co-List Broker

• If the Team Lead appears as both the Team and a Co-List Broker, their name could show up twice in some reports

• This setup is allowed but may affect how data displays in external platforms

Note: Third-party reporting tools like InfoSparks and Broker Metrics do not currently reflect production credit splits. Updates are expected in the future.

Until then, credit splits will:

• Display in connectMLS market share and production reports

• Be used for brokerage and association awards

• Support internal performance tracking

Summary

To assign production credit to a Team member individually:

• The Team Lead must first enable credit permissions for that member

• Credit fields appear during listing input or edit

• Credit splits must always total 100%

• Buyer-side credit can be updated after closing

• Reports and syndication may reflect the Team Lead in multiple places if they appear both as an individual and as part of the Team
