Public MLS Websites Built by Point2
The past few months we mentioned that we are now offering Associations and MLSs Public Facing MLS Websites. San Francisco, East Bay, and El Paso are the first to implement these sites.
Matt Cohen from Clareity took a peek at our offering and had the following to say, "the Point2 solution is on-par with what the big national publishers are offering to the consumer - in fact, it is in some ways superior - and it's better than almost all of the MLS and agent websites out there today."
Read the full blog post here.
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.
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.
