“California Regional MLS (CRMLS), the nation’s most recognized multiple listing service, has teamed up with Bright MLS, the largest MLS on the east coast, to offer their users reciprocal data access (aka “guest access”) to each other’s listings. CRMLS currently has 127,000+ active listings while Bright MLS has 115,000+.”
To me, this is kind of a ‘proof of concept’ play—meaning, ‘let’s build this and see what happens,’ which is smart. I’m not sure how many referrals this will generate from people moving from the East Coast to the West Coast (and vice versa), but I’m betting they’ll learn something new—something we haven’t thought of. I also like the vibe of promoting further cooperation, which the MLS (especially in these times) needs to lean into more.”
