MLS Only Broker is the Future according to N.A.R.

With the N.A.R. announcement last week stating they do not require membership to the Realtor board for MLS Access, MLS-Only Broker has been this option since 2003. MLS-Only Agents and Brokers are not members of the Realtor trade association boards. We participate in the California state Multiple listing services. We are state licensed and certified agents and brokers.

This has been our method of business since day 1. Now N.A.R. is basically agreeing our business model is better. N.A.R. touts itself as the authority for residential real estate and "thought leaders" however, after 70+ years of requiring N.A.R. membership to for most state MLS access, they have pivoted. Now N.A.R. states it will not be a requirement. So which on is it N.A.R.? Why the flip-flop?

In the states of California, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, the courts ruled N.A.R. membership is not required for MLS Access. Now all other states will open up MLS to non members, and drop the antiquated requirement.

MLS Only Broker is the Future. Realtor board membership is a thing of the past.
