MLS Listing Syndication Seminar
On Wednesday, October 17, beginning at 10:30AM at The Terraces on Sir Tyler - Brian Larson, our MLS attorney, will be with us to discuss listing syndication. Much has happened in this area including national firms who are no longer syndicating listings. Brian's perspective is unique as he crafted the first broker-reciprocity policy (now known as IDX) in the nation. He is actively involved in MLS Policy issues and serves as the general counsel to many MLSs. The morning session will begin at 10:30AM, but seating is limited to 200.
