Hive MLS Continues on the Expansion Trail into the Mountains of North Carolina and dips into Tennessee

While the expansion news is exciting, the working relationship Hive MLS has created is even more newsworthy.

By wholesaling services from Hive, Associations maintain the revenues generated from their MLS operations, but leave the day to day management to the MLS leaders at Hive MLS.
