What It Really Takes to Build a Successful Organization After a Merger
Merging two associations or two MLSs is hard. Building one respected, high performing organization out of that merger is even harder, and it is the work most leadership teams underestimate. WAV Group's new report, authored by Marilyn Wilson, examines what actually happens in the 12 to 24 months after a merger vote passes, and why that window determines whether the new organization thrives or quietly remains two organizations operating under one name.
Drawing on decades of WAV Group's work with associations and MLSs across the country, including direct insight from leaders who have completed some of the largest mergers in the last two years, this report identifies the predictable places post-merger integration goes wrong, from fights over naming and lingering "us versus them" language to one legacy group dominating another. More importantly, it lays out what successful associations do differently.
If your board or leadership team has recently completed a merger, or is considering one, this report will help you move past the vote and build the organization your members actually need. The goal was never just 1 + 1 = 2. Download the report to learn how the strongest post-merger organizations get to 1 + 1 = 5.

The National Association of REALTORS® MLS Policy does not provide a Coming Soon option, however this business practice is common in many market areas and a wide number of MLSs have a Coming Soon Policy today.The purpose of the WAV Group Coming Soon Policy Study is to help MLSs reflect the perspectives of brokers and agents in shaping Coming Soon policies.
