Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® Joins New Mega Data- Sharing Group
Walnut Creek, CA (September 11, 2007) – In a unprecedented cooperation effort, the Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® has signed a joint data sharing agreement with eleven other MLS organizations in California, joining the California MLSAlliance, a new MLS gateway providing agents and brokers with a single source for accessing real estate information throughout California.
The California MLSAlliance system was launched in August and is now available to over 165,000 brokers and agents, providing access to over 2.5 million active listings and off-market properties combined from twelve MLSs into one system. The system was developed and is managed by real estate technology provider eNeighborhoods, a Dominion Enterprises company.
California is a prime example of today’s real estate market. Brokers and agents conduct business throughout the state, often across the traditional MLS boundaries. With the new MLSAlliance system, brokers and agents who belong to one of the 47 local real estate associations serviced by the twelve participating MLSs can now search one system to find listings spanning across the state. The joint data access agreement between the MLSs extends a blanket offer of compensation and cooperation to all authorized users of the California MLSAlliance.
“Participation in the MLSAlliance™ will allow our members to continue offering seamless service to their clients even if they are moving here from another area of the state, or relocating out of the Bay Area,” said CCAR President Clark Anderson. “As technology improves and new methodologies are introduced, CCAR is committed to providing members and their clients with the most current tools for conducting business.”
eNeighborhoods has been providing the MLSAlliance™ enterprise data-sharing platform, connecting multiple MLSs into a combined database, since 1999. Currently used by more than 195,000 agents and brokers in multiple states, it is widely considered the benchmark in MLS data sharing technology.
“These twelve MLSs deserve praise for the decisive and progressive steps they have taken to improve access to real estate information in California,” said Andy Woolley, vice president of eNeighborhoods. “They’re not just talking about it, they’ve made it happen, delivering to their customers the largest compilation of MLS data anywhere in the world.”
In addition to Contra Costa Association of REALTORS®, the other MLSs participating in the California MLSAlliance include the Bay Area Real Estate Information Services, Inc. (BAREIS MLS®), Bay East Association of REALTORS®, Combined L.A./Westside MLS (CLAW), CRISNet Regional MLS, East Bay Regional Data (EBRD), Greater South Bay Regional MLS, iTech MLS, MetroList Services, Multi-Regional MLS (MRMLS), San Francisco Association of REALTORS®, and Southern California MLS.
“We’re proud they selected eNeighborhoods as their technology partner and we look forward to further expansion of the MLSAlliance search platform throughout the state of California,” concluded Greg Robertson, vice president and general manager of eNeighborhoods.
