Expanding the Real Estate Database Is Key to the Future
As reported today in an article by Inman News, one of the critical developments in the real estate industry is the merging of local Multiple Listing Services into regional and eventually, a global, MLS. Our local Realtor's Association has recently announced that the local CRISNET MLS, which directly covers the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys, will merge with SoCalMLS which covers much of southern Los Angeles County and all of Orange County. The combined MLS will have 55,000 members and will become the largest MLS in California and the second largest in the nation.
The two MLS services already belong to the Southern California MLS Alliance, a consortium of multiple listing services serving over 100,000 real estate professionals via a cooperative exchange of information among Southern California MLS databases.
This consolidation of and cooperation between databases gives members the opportunity to provide better service to their clients, the buyers and sellers of real estate. In a society awash with information, reliable property and sales information is essential to a rational and trusted market.
