Importing and Updating Contacts from MarketView Broker

Last updated on Aug 18, 2026

Import/Update your recruiting leads and agent roster from MVB

MarketView Broker from ShowingTime is a fantastic tool for pulling up-to-date contact information and production data on your market's agents straight from your local MLS.

Quick answer for quarterly updates

For routine quarterly agent-move and production updates, run your saved agent searches in MarketView Broker—not the Co-Op Agents report—and export the results as unmodified CSV files. Then choose either supported option:

  1. Import the files yourself using Brokerkit's MarketView Broker importer and the directions below.
  2. Email the files to support@brokerkit.com, and our Support team can import them for you.

For an existing Account

Follow the steps below to export and import your data using our MVB importer. You can import the unmodified CSV files yourself, or email them to support@brokerkit.com and our Support team can import them for you.

Getting Your MarketView Broker Data

Use this workflow for routine monthly or quarterly updates from your saved agent searches. Start from the agent list or saved search you want to refresh—not the Co-Op Agents tab. The Co-Op Agents tab is only for the separate report described later in this article.

  1. Log in to MarketView Broker
  2. From any list of agents, choose the timeframe for reported data which should be "Year through Last Month"

  3. Make sure Values is selected for the view.

  5. Click CSV option to export up to 2,500 records.

Import the exported files into Brokerkit

After exporting all saved-search CSV files, choose either option:

  • Import the unmodified files yourself using Brokerkit's MarketView Broker importer and the directions in this article.
  • Email the unmodified files to support@brokerkit.com, and our Support team can import them for you.

Things To Note:

  • Getting the data from MVB

    • Please do not modify the columns or column header names in the standard format exported from MVB.
    • You can only export 2500 rows at a time in a search. You should create a set of saved searches that query by zip code or county so each search is under 2500 and can be exported. Create a set of searches that are each under 2500 but cover the territory you want to recruit into when combined.

  • Importing periodic data updates

    • Once you import your saved searches into Brokerkit, you can reimport them monthly or quarterly to bulk update your Brokerkit database, keeping it in sync with the MLS and capturing new agents and updates on agent office and production information. Be sure to save your searches so you can run them again later at your desired frequency.
    • We match and update existing records using any of the existing contact emails or agent ID/MLS. This helps prevent duplicates and allows you to do the monthly or quarterly updates mentioned above.
    • Certain fields, like phone numbers, will not be updated unless they are empty so that you don't end up fixing a mobile phone number and having it overwritten later. Notes added with one of the note icons in the contact profile will also not be impacted by an update.

  • Archiving agents

    • For agents you feel are not fit, archive them rather than delete them, as this will prevent them from being added back on the next import. It will just match and update them, and they will start in the archive.

  • Updating agents in retention

    • Note that the data will, by default, be imported into the recruiting module in Brokerkit unless there is an existing agent in retention with the same email or agent ID/MLS, in which case it would match and update the existing record.
    • If you want to update your existing agents with MVB production data, you can then go ahead and import your roster first into retention using the Teams importer here, and be sure to set their emails and agent ID/MLS on import. They will match and update the email or agent ID/MLS on import and add the production information in retention from MVB.
    • For any of your agents who did not match and update and ended up in recruiting, move their status to Signed, and they will be shifted to retention.

Optional: Export a Co-Op Agents report (separate workflow)

This section applies only if you specifically need a co-op agents report. Do not use the Co-Op Agents tab for routine monthly or quarterly updates from saved agent searches.

In MarketView Broker, it is also possible to pull a report to view co-op agents.

  1. Log in to MarketView Broker
  2. Go to the tab Co-Op Agents.
  3. Click the button Export.
  4. You can also set up recurring email notifications, click the button Email Updates.
  5. Select the frequency and file format.
  6. Click Save.
