Public Facing MLS Websites
Message from Saul Klein:
Public Facing MLS Websites. No Use of Dues Dollars Required!
You have been asking, and we have been listening. One of the best ways to insure MLS survival and help you "take back your future" is through direct monetization of your listing data on your own world-class Public Facing MLS Website.
If you already have a Public Facing MLS Website and are not happy with the results, or if you think your association can't afford a competitive public portal for listings display with all leads generated sent to the listing broker in charge, we have a program tailor-made for you.
Point2 is excited to announce the release of our Public Facing MLS Portal Initiative. The subject of Public Facing MLS Websites is currently at the forefront of industry conversations as a result of recent actions by the MLS Committee, Executive Committee, and NAR Board of Directors.
Developed as a white label solution, Point2 Public Facing MLS Websites are an efficient, cost effective, easy-to-use solution for any REALTORŪ Association or MLS to display and promote its member's listings and directly monetize their listing data, becoming less dependent on third party aggregation sites. Making use of the same platform designed for high traffic, international real estate portals Point2Homes and PropertyShark, the technology behind the solution is proven and ready to provide results for your MLS or Association. Point2 Public Facing MLS Websites are not reliant on dues dollars, and will be a revenue-generating resource, as well as a lead source for members.
Point2 Facing Public MLS websites are customized for your organization and take into account your branding and the regional intricacies of your area.
