How to sign your VOW agreement through ITSO

Written by Jonathan Zadegan

To give Homsie access to live MLS data for your homeowner portals in the ITSO region (Kitchener–Waterloo and Southwestern Ontario), you sign a one-time VOW (Virtual Office Website) agreement through ITSO. Most agents do it during onboarding. If you skipped it, you can finish it any time. Until it's done, creating CMAs and inviting clients stay locked.

Get to the agreement step

  • During onboarding: you're already there. It's the ITSO agreement step.

  • Skipped it? Click your profile at the bottom left of the sidebar to open Settings. Scroll to MLS Boards, where your ITSO board shows Not started, and click Complete agreement.

Copy your portal URL

Under Your portal URL to submit, for example https://client.gethomsie.com/yourhandle, click Copy. This is the client-facing URL ITSO will ask for.

⚠️ Important: submit exactly this URL. Don't paste an invite link from anywhere else in Homsie, because anything after your handle is a private invite code.

Sign the VOW agreement

  1. Go to the ITSO dashboard at dashboard.itsorealestate.ca and log in.

  2. Find Bridge.

  3. Click New Agreement.

  4. Choose VOW Agreement (Virtual Office Website Agreement).

  5. Find and select Homsie as the vendor.

  6. In the client-facing URL field, paste the link you copied above.

  7. Review and sign.

Back in Homsie, tick the confirmation box and click Continue.

What happens next

Your signature is the first of four, in this order: you, Homsie, your Broker of Record and ITSO. While it's in progress, your board shows Pending review in Settings → MLS Boards. Once everyone has signed, it switches to Live, and your portals can show live MLS listings and market activity. Your 7-day free trial starts once your agreement is accepted.

⚠️ Important: this usually takes about 24 hours. Homsie signs right away, so the main wait is your Broker of Record. A quick heads-up to them can speed things along.
