SALT LAKE CITY, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Iowa Association of REALTORS® and NoCoast MLS have begun using MLS Grid to deliver and standardize data delivery for its members.
The move makes NoCoast MLS the third MLS to move to MLS Grid in recent months; continuing MLS Grid’s goal to create marketplace efficiency by streamlining data transfers across real estate markets nationwide and provide standardized vendor licenses.
With more than 500 MLSs operating nationwide, it’s often a challenge for brokerages to combine data from multiple markets to serve websites, marketing systems, market analytics, showing services, lockbox services, and brokerage management systems.
“NoCoast is committed to find ways to best serve our members,” said Les Sulgove, NoCoast MLS Director. “With the help of MLS Grid, we’ll be able to provide a faster process for data licensing, billing, distribution, and online compliance."
“All MLSs face similar pain points with managing data feeds and licensing. By simplifying the process, MLS Grid saves MLS staff significant time and resources,” said MLS Grid CEO Joseph Szurgyi. “We help MLSs, brokers, and tech companies work efficiently together to achieve a common goal as well as implement the increasingly important RESO data standards.”
