Before your listing goes live, a licensed Fortify broker reviews and prepares a draft showing exactly how your home will appear on the MLS and on major real estate sites. This preview is your opportunity to catch anything that needs adjusting — before buyers, agents, and portals like Zillow ever see it.

​
What the preview includes

Your broker-prepared preview is a complete draft of your MLS listing. It includes:
  • Property description — a written summary of your home’s features and highlights, drafted for the public remarks field
  • MLS fields — all required data points including bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, and year built
  • Photo order and compliance check — your photos are reviewed to confirm they meet MLS size and content requirements, and arranged in a logical order
  • Asking price — displayed exactly as you entered it, so you can confirm it looks right in context
  • Public remarks draft — the buyer-facing description that appears on Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and every syndicating site

​
Reviewing your preview

When your preview link arrives, open it and read through it the way a buyer or buyer’s agent would. Here’s what to focus on:
  • Price accuracy — confirm your asking price is correct down to the dollar
  • Property details — verify that beds, baths, square footage, and other MLS fields match your home exactly
  • Description tone and accuracy — make sure the public remarks reflect how you want to present your home and that every detail is factually correct
  • Photo order — check that your best photo leads the set, since the first image is what buyers see in search results
  • Disclosures — confirm any required disclosure fields are present and accurate
To request a change, use the feedback option in your preview link. Your broker will update the draft and send you a revised version to review again.
Use the preview as a final check on your asking price before you go live. Once your listing is active, a price change counts as one of your edits — and on the Essentials plan you have three total. Confirming your price at the preview stage costs you nothing and keeps your edit allowance intact.

​
Making changes

You can request as many changes as you need at the preview stage — there’s no limit before you select a plan. Once your listing is live, the number of edits you can make depends on the plan you choose:

If you anticipate frequent updates — price reductions, updated photos, description tweaks — consider that when choosing a plan. Getting major changes done at the preview stage is always the most efficient approach regardless of which plan you select.
Nothing is submitted to the MLS until you approve your preview and choose a plan. Requesting changes and reviewing revisions does not start any clock or trigger any fees.

Next step

When your preview looks exactly the way you want it, you’re ready to select a plan and go live.
