Of course, what matters most to brokers and MLSs operating locally is the share of voice in the market that they serve. In particular, MLSs want to monitor where consumers are accessing participant listings and check for compliance with data license agreements. For brokers, it is important to track consumer engagement relative to competitors. Brand awareness can dramatically impact business development, agent recruiting, and agent retention.
