Good news for subscribers of Southwest MLS: Property Shield is returning as a subscriber benefit in March.

This powerful fraud prevention and data protection platform gives real estate professionals advanced tools to fight fake listings, unauthorized data use, and other online scams that can harm their reputation and your clients.

A Smarter Defense Against Online Listing Fraud

The digital real estate world keeps getting smarter—so do scammers. Fraudulent listings, spoofed agent profiles, and unauthorized redistribution of listing data aren’t just annoying. They can damage a broker’s credibility and mislead potential buyers or renters. Property Shield is designed to stop these threats before they spread.

At its core, Property Shield continuously scans the internet—everything from social media to listing sites—to find listings that don’t belong and flag or remove them automatically. It uses AI-driven matching on addresses and images, so suspicious content gets identified quickly with minimal effort from you.

What SWMLS Subscribers Will Get

When Property Shield goes live as a subscriber benefit in March, SWMLS users will get:

• Real-time fraud detection and alerts
  The platform spots fake or altered listings fast so you can take action before damage spreads.
• Automated takedown support
  Once potential fraud is verified, Property Shield works to remove it from the web.
• Brand and listing protection
  Your professional reputation is priceless. Property Shield helps protect it by keeping your listings accurate and your data under control.

All of this comes at no extra cost to SWMLS subscribers—an added value that aligns with the MLS’s commitment to safety, trust, and strong marketplace integrity.

A Market-Wide Shift Toward Protection

Southwest MLS isn’t alone in adopting this kind of technology. MLS platforms nationwide are increasingly integrating fraud monitoring tools to support brokers and subscribers in an evolving digital landscape. Bringing back Property Shield positions SWMLS at the forefront of that movement and gives its community another reason to feel secure and supported.
