What Happens During the Managing Broker Review Call?

Before your home goes live on the MLS, there is an important review step designed to confirm that your listing information and required documents are complete.

The managing broker review call is where your assigned managing broker—the specific, higher-level license Illinois requires for real estate oversight—confirms your listing is accurate and complete before it publishes.

What Gets Reviewed

During the review call, your managing broker will go over key parts of your listing, including:

  • Your listing details and asking price.

  • Your submitted disclosures, checked against Illinois requirements.

  • Your uploaded proof of ownership and deed.

  • Any specific questions about your property that could affect how it is listed.

The goal is to make sure the information submitted is complete and ready before the listing is published.

Why It's Framed as an Invitation, Not a Requirement

SaveEstate frames the review call as being invited to book rather than presenting it as a mandatory hurdle.

However, it is one of the three things that must be complete before your 3-business-day countdown to going live begins:

  1. Signed documents.

  2. Proof-of-ownership upload.

  3. Managing broker review call.

Completing all three steps allows the listing timeline to move forward.

How Long It Takes

The review call itself is a relatively short, focused conversation.

It is designed to confirm details that have already been submitted through your client portal—not to walk through your entire sale process from the beginning.

What Happens After

Once the following are complete:

  • Your signed documents.

  • Your uploaded proof of ownership.

  • Your managing broker review call.

Your listing goes live on the MLS within 3 business days.

Final Thoughts

The managing broker review call is an important part of preparing your listing for the MLS.

By confirming your property details, disclosures, and ownership documentation before publishing, the review process helps ensure your listing is complete and ready for buyers and agents to view.
