Gone are the days when decisions can be made over months and even years. To compete effectively against the smart capital entering real estate, MLSs need to learn how to think and act like a technology company. They need to make well-informed decisions quickly with the help of technology innovators that know what it takes to deliver technology that REALTORS® value.

Congratulations to Travis Wright, Kinski Moss and the rest of the Texas REALTORS® team for continuing to partner with MMSI to effect positive legislative changes in their state.

Howard Hanna continues to out-perform year after year. All of us at WAV Group ask you to join us in celebrating the great accomplishments of this family-owned business.

Bright MLS created the idea of building a unique method for measuring current and future home demand by examining property search, MLS activity and showing appointment velocity to provide a look at present and future market demand. They partnered with T3 Sixty to build a Home Demand Index.
Today, three of Ohio’s significant MLSs have announced a reciprocal access agreement. All three are CoreLogic Matrix markets, eliminating the need for agents to learn a different system when they link into the other MLS market. This is a very cost effective way to accomplish many of the goals of data sharing. Kudos to the folks in Ohio that discovered the vision for collaboration that is appropriate for their area.
Lone Wolf has extended the functionality of their marketplace to include the functionality of ordering title within the forms application. This saves a step for real estate professionals and makes the home purchase process more streamlined for the consumer.
MMSI has built an SSO dashboard that provides MLSs with more than one choice for SSO Dashboard services. I also love to see the choice coming from private, family-owned companies that have been dedicated to help organized real estate and the REALTORS® they serve be successful for over 30 years.
