Associations across the country are facing one of the most consequential decisions in years: should they decouple MLS access from Realtor membership? With NAR shifting MLS access policies to local discretion amid growing antitrust pressure, MLS and association leaders need reliable data, not speculation, to guide their next move. WAV Group partnered with San Diego MLS, one of the longest-running Open MLS markets in the nation, to study what actually happens when an MLS opens its doors to all licensed brokers. Authored by Victor Lund, this case study delivers the real-world evidence leaders need right now to make confident, informed decisions about their organization’s future.
If your board is debating Open MLS, this report will be reassuring. Drawing on decades of San Diego’s experience and WAV Group’s nationwide research, the study examines the actual impact on association membership, identifies who the non-member MLS subscribers really are, and makes the strategic case for why Open MLS isn’t just a legal risk-reduction play, it’s an opportunity. The report outlines the key benefits of choosing Open MLS, from strengthening your value proposition to unlocking new revenue streams, and provides a practical framework for leaders ready to move forward with confidence.
