Important Changes to Residential Rental Listings – Effective August 1, 2025

July 25, 2025

In response to new Massachusetts legislation taking effect on August 1, 2025, changes will be made to Pinergy’s online input form for Residential Rental listings on the evening of July 31, 2025. Three fields will be removed from the form: List Brokerage Fee Required from Tenant, List Brokerage Fee Amount, and Cooperating Compensation. For Residential Rental listings that are on the market, under agreement, or recently expired or canceled (going back ten days), List Brokerage Fee Required will be set to “No” and the List Brokerage Fee Amount and Cooperating Compensation fields will be cleared. Users will not be able to edit these fields, since they will be removed from the form. On August 18, 2025, these three fields will be completely removed from Pinergy and will no longer appear anywhere in the system. For more information about the new legislation, please visit Mass.gov.

New "Copy Link" Button Helps You Share Listings on Social Media

January 6, 2026
Social media remains one of the quickest ways to draw attention to your listings. But when a platform blocks direct posting, there is now a quick workaround in Pinergy. Your listing’s Social Share window includes a new Copy Link button beside the existing social media icons. Clicking it copies the URL for the public listing details page to your clipboard so you can paste it directly into any site that accepts links. This includes Facebook business pages, where Meta currently prevents direct posting. Once you have posted your links, you can track the results in your listing’s Marketing Overview. With a new Social Media Shares category called Other, you can now see how many views your manually posted links are generating. It’s a small update, but one that keeps your marketing moving even when a platform puts up roadblocks.
