We believe in preserving the core tenants of the multiple listing service—cooperation and compensation, promoting the expansion of an orderly and efficient real estate marketplace, leveraging economies-of-scale for better pricing, increasing access to valuable market data, providing greater control of listing content distribution, and equipping our customer MLSs with choice in the suite of products and services they can purchase to best serve their membership.
