1. What is a VOW?
A Virtual Office Website (VOW) is a secure, password-protected real-estate search service operated under a TRREB member’s supervision. A visitor registers and signs in before viewing data that TRREB permits through the VOW feed, including sold-property information.
On Opei, VOW approval enables the protected Sold Listing Search. Depending on the data supplied by the board, registered users can search historical sold listings, compare asking and sold prices, review property details, and use filters such as location, property type, price and sale date. The reference workflow describes access to as much as two years of sold history; actual availability is controlled by the current TRREB/PropTx feed and rules.
VOW is different from public IDX search. IDX generally powers public active-listing search; VOW provides additional protected data after registration. It does not give visitors direct MLS access and it does not expose fields prohibited by board rules.
2. Agreements needed for complete listing functionality
| Agreement | What it enables on Opei | Important selection |
|---|---|---|
| IDX | Public search and display of active MLS listings permitted by the board. | Enter the exact public website domain that will display listings. |
| DLA | Imports and updates the agent’s or brokerage’s own listings for website management and promotion. | Choose Brokerage's Listings when the access-level question appears. |
| VOW | Authenticated search for sold listings and other VOW-authorized data. | Select the approved Opei vendor/AVP supplied during onboarding. |
3. Prepare these items
- Your active TRREB/PropTx username and password.
- Your full public website URL, including https:// (for example, https://agentname.com).
- The Opei vendor/AVP name supplied in your onboarding instructions.
- Your Broker of Record’s contact information, because their approval is part of the process.
4. Activation instructions for TRREB agents
- Open the PropTx agreement portal. Sign in with your own PropTx credentials. Do not send your password to Opei.
- Select “New Agreement.” Start a separate request for each agreement type. Your member information should populate from your TRREB record; review it for accuracy.
- Create the IDX agreement. Select the IDX agreement type, choose the approved Opei vendor entry, and enter the exact production website URL where listings will appear.
- Create the DLA agreement. Select DLA and choose Brokerage's Listings for the access level. Complete the vendor and website fields as requested.
- Create the VOW agreement. Select VOW and the approved Opei AVP/vendor entry. This is the agreement that authorizes protected sold-search data.
- Enter every applicable domain correctly. Use the full live URL, not an admin link, localhost address or temporary preview URL. The official member manual allows up to three website URLs where applicable.
- Read and accept every term. Confirm all required acknowledgements, then use Sign Agreement. A request is not submitted if it remains an unsigned draft.
- Repeat until IDX, DLA and VOW are submitted. Each agreement is separate and may have a separate status.
- Notify your Broker of Record. The workflow normally moves from the agent/vendor to the Broker of Record and then to PropTx/TRREB for final processing. A broker’s pending approval is a common cause of delay.
- Track the status. Check the portal’s Active or Agreements in Progress area. When all approvals are complete, tell Opei Support so we can verify the feed and enable the correct access on your website.
5. What happens after approval?
Opei verifies the approved domain, vendor relationship and incoming data access. Public active search can use IDX, your own listings can use DLA, and protected sold search can use VOW. Visitors will be asked to register or sign in before accessing VOW-only sold information. Activation is complete only after both the board approval and Opei configuration are confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need all three agreements?For the complete Opei listing experience, generally yes: IDX, DLA and VOW serve different purposes. Your brokerage or board may impose additional requirements.
- How long does approval take?Timing depends on the third party/vendor step, your Broker of Record and PropTx/TRREB processing. Check which party currently holds the request before resubmitting it.
- Why is sold search still unavailable after I signed?The agreement may still be awaiting broker or board approval, the approved domain may not match your live domain, or Opei may still need to enable the feed. Send Opei the agreement status, never your password.
- Can sold listings be public without login?No. VOW data is delivered through a secure, password-protected experience. Visitors must register and sign in before viewing protected sold-listing details.
- How much sold history is available?The reference workflow describes up to two years. The exact dates, coverage and fields depend on the current board feed, rules and data availability.
- What if I have more than one domain?Declare each domain that will display the data. The official member manual describes space for up to three URLs; confirm current requirements in the portal.
- What if I change brokerage or domain?Tell Opei and check with PropTx/TRREB. A material change may require an amended or new agreement before data can continue on the new site.
中文指南
1. 什么是 VOW？成交房源搜索能做什么？
VOW（Virtual Office Website，虚拟办公室网站）是由 TRREB 会员负责管理的安全、受密码保护的房产搜索服务。访客必须先注册并登录，才可以查看 TRREB 允许通过 VOW 数据源展示的内容，包括历史成交房源信息。
Opei 的成交房源搜索会在 VOW 获批并完成网站配置后启用。已登录用户可根据数据源所提供的范围，搜索历史成交房源、比较挂牌价和成交价，并按区域、房屋类型、价格及成交日期等条件筛选。参考流程提到最多可查看约两年的成交记录；实际范围以当时 TRREB/PropTx 提供的数据和规则为准。
VOW 与公开的 IDX 搜索不同。IDX 通常用于展示公开在售房源；VOW 用于登录后才能查看的受保护数据。访客不会因此获得 MLS 系统权限，也不能看到地产局规则禁止公开的字段。
2. 三份协议分别有什么作用？
| 协议 | 在 Opei 网站上的功能 | 填写重点 |
|---|---|---|
| IDX | 搜索及展示地产局允许公开的在售 MLS 房源。 | 填写实际展示房源的正式网站域名。 |
| DLA | 导入并更新经纪本人或所属经纪公司的房源，方便网站展示和推广。 | 在权限级别中选择 Brokerage's Listings。 |
| VOW | 让注册并登录的用户搜索历史成交房源及其他获准的 VOW 数据。 | 选择 Opei 开通资料中指定的服务商/AVP。 |
3. 开始前请准备
- 有效的 TRREB/PropTx 登录账号和密码。
- 正式网站的完整网址，必须包含 https://，例如 https://agentname.com。
- Opei 开通通知中提供的服务商/AVP 名称。
- 所属经纪公司 Broker of Record（负责人）的联系方式，因为协议需要其审批。
4. TRREB 经纪开通步骤
- 进入 PropTx 协议门户。使用自己的 PropTx 账号登录。请勿把密码发送给 Opei。
- 点击 “New Agreement”。IDX、DLA 和 VOW 需要分别提交。系统通常会从 TRREB 会员资料中自动填写个人信息，请先核对。
- 提交 IDX 协议。选择 IDX、指定 Opei 开通资料中列出的服务商，并填写展示房源的正式网站网址。
- 提交 DLA 协议。选择 DLA；出现权限级别时选择 Brokerage's Listings，再完成服务商及网址资料。
- 提交 VOW 协议。选择 VOW 及正确的 Opei AVP/服务商。这份协议用于授权登录后的成交房源搜索。
- 准确填写所有使用数据的域名。请填写完整正式网址，不要使用后台地址、localhost 或临时预览网址。官方会员手册在适用情况下可填写最多三个网址。
- 阅读并接受全部条款。勾选所有必要确认项，然后点击 Sign Agreement。只保存草稿并不代表已提交。
- 确认三份协议均已提交。IDX、DLA 和 VOW 是独立协议，审批状态可能不同。
- 通知 Broker of Record。一般流程为经纪/服务商提交，经纪公司负责人审批，再由 PropTx/TRREB 最终处理。长时间停滞通常是因为其中一方尚未审批。
- 查看进度并通知 Opei。在 Active 或 Agreements in Progress 中查看状态。全部获批后联系 Opei Support，我们会核对数据源并为网站开通对应权限。
5. 获批以后会发生什么？
Opei 会核对获批域名、服务商关系和数据权限。IDX 用于公开在售搜索，DLA 用于经纪或经纪公司自己的房源，VOW 用于受保护的成交搜索。用户查看 VOW 成交信息前必须注册或登录。地产局审批完成并不等于网站已自动开通，Opei 还需要完成最后的数据验证和配置。
常见问题
- 三份协议都需要吗？如要使用完整的 Opei 房源功能，一般需要 IDX、DLA 和 VOW，因为三者用途不同。最终仍以经纪公司和地产局要求为准。
- 审批需要多久？时间取决于服务商、Broker of Record 及 PropTx/TRREB 的处理进度。重复提交前，请先查看目前协议停留在哪一方。
- 已经签署 VOW，为什么仍看不到成交房源？协议可能仍在等待公司或地产局审批，获批域名可能与正式网站不一致，或 Opei 尚未完成数据开通。联系 Opei 时提供协议状态即可，切勿提供密码。
- 成交信息可以不登录直接查看吗？不可以。VOW 是受密码保护的服务，访客必须注册并登录后才能查看受保护的成交房源资料。
- 可以查看多久以前的成交记录？参考流程说明最多约两年。具体日期范围、覆盖区域和字段由当前数据源、地产局规则及数据完整度决定。
- 有多个网站域名怎么办？所有会展示数据的域名都应申报。官方会员手册说明可填写最多三个网址，请以门户当前要求为准。
- 更换经纪公司或域名怎么办？请通知 Opei，并向 PropTx/TRREB 确认是否需要修改或重新提交协议；新网站获批前，相关数据可能无法继续展示。
