Lake Superior Area REALTORS has announced its adoption of MLS Grid to enhance and standardize data delivery for its members. This transition positions Lake Superior as the latest MLS to join MLS Grid, furthering the goal of creating marketplace efficiency by streamlining data transfers across real estate markets nationwide and providing standardized vendor licenses.
With over 500 MLSs operating nationwide, brokerages often face challenges in combining data from multiple markets to support websites, marketing systems, market analytics, showing services, lockbox services, and brokerage management systems.
“We have discovered a partner in MLS Grid who shares our dedication to simplifying data management for our subscribers and the consumers who depend on them,” said Brenda Barnhardt, Interim CEO. “MLS Grid will enable us to streamline the processes for data licensing, billing, distribution, and online compliance, making them faster and more efficient.”
MLS Grid’s leadership boasts more than 60 years of combined MLS experience. The company is run by MLS executives and developers who understand the industry and the challenges brokers and associations face in a rapidly evolving market.
“Regardless of their size, MLSs encounter similar challenges in managing data feeds and licensing. Our streamlined process significantly reduces the time and resources required by MLS staff,” said MLS Grid CEO, Joseph Szurgyi. ” “We are now assisting MLSs and brokers throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota to collaborate effectively, achieve shared objectives, and implement the crucial RESO data standards.”
