Why a Regional MLS & What are the benefits?

• Many agents in outlying areas are only part of their local MLS but doing business in a wider geographic area.
• Consolidation of MLS’s into a Regional MLS will reduce costs to agents and provide access to databases across the region.
• Expands your reach and gives you the greatest exposure for your listings by over 4500+ agents.
• Amplifies your referral base.
• Efficient and cost-effective covering a larger market area.
• Incorporates uniform MLS Rules and Regulations.  Simplifies data entry and eliminates confusion.
• Approximately 47000 sold listing data in the last 3 years and 8000 current on market data.
• SYNDICATION: Your listing will syndicate to over 75 locations compared to 8 or less in other area MLS services.  These syndicate out to approximately 3400 additional sites getting your listing in front of an extensive amount potential buyers and clients.  This is a HUGE marketing tool!

Differences between Associations and MLS Services:

• Board Membership and MLS Services are two separate things.  They are run separately and are billed separately.
• Boards provide you with member services, education, networking opportunities, volunteer opportunities, and keep you abreast of what is happening in the industry.
• MLS Services provide access to shared data that helps you serve your clients and allows you to be compensated doing so.
• You only need to belong to one board in the state of Texas.
• You may belong to as many MLS systems as you choose to, if your broker is a subscriber.

How to join:

• WC Board membership is not required. The only requirement is that your DR/Broker has access to the CTXMLS, and you have a Board membership at a board in the State of Texas.
• If you are primary at any of the participating boards then that is where you should subscribe from.  If you are not, then you may choose which board to subscribe from.
• Subscribing is simple.  Williamson County gives you several payment plan options.
• Access to leasing properties is included at no additional charge.
• Supra EKEY:  FREE IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AN EXISTING KEY FROM ANOTHER MLS SERVICE.
