NEW CA MLS - REAL ESTATE ON STEROIDS!
This week a new alliance of real estate agents and brokers throughout much of California launched the new "California MLSAlliance" providing over 150,000 CA REALTORS® with access to more than 2.5 million active listings and off-market properties around the state. The alliance enables California REALTORS® to deliver more information to their clients in this time of changing market conditions. Now, that's real estate on steroids!
The MLSAlliance provides a technological gateway for a single point of access for real estate listing information. While it is always best to operate within the markets one knows, for agents and brokers who conduct business in various locations around the state this new portal provides a one stop search vehicle.
This alliance of ten MLSs who came together with Metrolist Services, Inc. to make this happen were East Bay Regional Data, Inc. (EBRDI), Bay Area Real Estate Information Services, Inc. (BAREIS), Combined L.A./Westside MLS (CLAW), CRISNet Regional MLS, Greater South Bay Regional MLS, iTech MLS, Multi-Regional MLS (MRMLS), San Francisco Association of REALTORS®, and Southern California MLS.
With the MLSAlliance agent and broker subcribers are able to locate listings in the following 22 major California counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, Napa, Solano, Mendocino, Sonoma, Lake, Marin, San Mateo, Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura.
If there is power in numbers then this new alliance will offer REALTORS® more power to service the needs of an every increasing demand for professionalism and technical know how. |

It's amazing what a little fear will achieve, CAR comes out with a propasal for a statewide MLS which is a thinly disguised attempt to kill off the local associations and suddenly everyone wants to play nice.
Do you think CAR got the message? Let's hope so!
