I will change the status as soon as possible, since many agents don't want to waste time showing homes already under contract. Some my call to ask if sellers are taking backup offers.

Immediately.

Our mls has a requirement to update status within 72 hours of any change. Personally, I update as soon as I'm able to.

We have 24 hour or get fined

I change it as soon as possible after we have an executed contracted. I'm not sure what rule my MLS has for this. 

We are required to change the status within 24 hrs. I do it when I have time that day.

I change the status within 24 hours. We can mark the listing with an financing, sale of home or inspection contingency. This is required by our MLS.

We have 48 hours (no one is expected to do it on weekends I suppose) but I generally change right away.  Mind you if there any contingencies my MLS has a "contingent" status before the "pending" status.

Our MLS stipulaytes that we change status within 24 hours.

ASAP is not soon enough.  It's a pet peeve of mine.

Same day!

Our mls provided all status changes be completed within 72 hours.  It does not take me that long.

Kathleen Daniels Usually the status is changed immediately This is easy to forget and if you don't our MLS will fine the agent.

within 24 hours....

 Good Sunday morning Kathleen. Around here most folks are supposed to change it when the contract is ratified. Most don't.

Kathleen Daniels - it must be done within 24 hours of acceptance of offer in our MLS.

The MLS is changed as soon as possible. One things that bothers is when I call on a property to show and am told that it is under contract and .."opps..forgot to change the MLS.

As soon as I can, we have 24 hours per board rules, but for me the sooner the better.

We're suppose to update status within 48 hours.

I do it right away and I think ALL agents should strive to do it as soon as the contract is signed.  Just yesterday I had to tell a couple that the home they fell in love with was under contract, and had been since at least the day before the showing.  And I had confirmed the showing appointment days in advance.  I think it's a simple professional courtesy to contact agents with pending showings and let them know the seller has accepted an offer.  It was so unfortunate and the couple was very disappointed, but we'll move on and find something else that they love.

I do the same thing. Change it just as soon as I can get on the MLS. Certainly that business day.

By our MLS rules it has to be within 48 hours. Exceptions were made for short sales when those were hot and heavy, but you also had to put in language in REALTOR® comments and also put in back ups wanted in a field.

Our MLS requires that all changes be reported within 2 business days after all proper signatures are obtained by listing broker or agent. Alas, not everyone complies. 

My board requires updates for many issues to be made within two board business days.

Immediately upon accepted contract, I do not wait for EM to be opened like some agents do.  As per our local MLS, status should be changed within 24 hours of delievered, executed contract.

our rules are similar. which if i had my way , it wouldnt be. but thats life. No deal is done til its done. And until COE , it aint done :).

note: i do leave it up on the non MLS search engines however , you may call it bogus , but, i hate losing 30 days or so waiting to know for sure. Thats the nervous nilly in me.
