LISLE, Ill., Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), the largest multiple listing service (MLS) in Illinois, announced a partnership with Rockford Area REALTORS® (RAR) which allows their association’s members to have access to one of the nation’s largest MLSs.
The agreement allows RAR’s members the opportunity to use MRED’s connectMLS to access nearly two dozen products and services.
“We see offering MRED as a valuable additional MLS service to our current association’s MLS,” said Conor Brown CEO of Rockford Area REALTORS®. “Our members will be able to take advantage of increased marketing and analytics so they can continue to be successful.”
RAR becomes MRED’s 16th REALTOR® association partner. Beginning Oct. 1, 2020, the partnership allows RAR’s members to participate in MRED’s expansive market reach. In 2019, MRED’s connectMLS platform was used to facilitate more than $38 billion in real estate transactions.
MRED’s service comes complete with a full array of training options, ranging from webinars with veteran trainers, an award-winning Help Desk and a 24/7 virtual library which covers many of the MLS’ top training topics.
“We’re thrilled to officially bring MRED’s service to Rockford through this new agreement with RAR,” said MRED President/CEO Rebecca Jensen. “We look forward to demonstrating to RAR’s members how MRED’s service can help their real estate business. There are over a dozen products included in an MRED subscription and we focus on providing best in class. Our MLS platform is fully mobile, includes access to a Private Listing Network and the listing data changes with the needs of the local market. We also provide the Remine public records and predictive analytics service, Cloud CMA, which allows subscribers to create engaging property reports for presentations, and MLS Grid, which enables easy control over data distribution.”
The partnership with RAR is the second such agreement announced in the past month. MRED is working with the Greater Gateway Association of REALTORS® to provide MLS service to its members in Southern Illinois.
