Sign into your accountBrokers and MLSs: Collaboration vs. Confrontation
May 13 2015
The real estate industry come a long way from the fall of 2013, when The Realty Alliance's Craig Cheatham warned a crowd of MLS executives attending CMLS in Boise, "You've got 10 days."
That moment in time – described by blogger Notorious Rob as "the most interesting 30 minutes in the history of real estate conferences" -- poignantly captured the mood of real estate brokerages towards the MLS industry.
Fast-forward to NAR Midyear 2015, and confrontation has clearly turned into collaboration.
This week, RESO or Real Estate Standards Organization, heralded the great strides the organization has made in fostering participation by America's leading brokerage organizations.
Once thought of as solely the province of the MLS, RESO recently added Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, the largest network of over 500 premier locally-branded firms responsible for more home sales than any other real estate network, to its membership roster.
Importantly, Leading RE joins Cheatham's The Realty Alliance, which is already a member of RESO and represents a network of North America's elite real estate firms, whose members serve most every major market on the continent.
Add to RESO's key real estate brokerage membership ranks Realogy (Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker®, Coldwell Banker Commercial®, The Corcoran Group®, ERA®, and Sotheby's International Realty®, and ZipRealty®), RE/MAX LLC, and other independent firms, such as Michael Saunders and Company, and you have literally the who's who of real estate brokerage that now have a seat at the table and a voice in shaping future real estate industry standards are deployed.
