Breaking Away: MLSs explore separation from Realtor associations
The big question buzzing at the CMLS conference: Should MLSs and Realtor associations finally break up?
Some say it’s like chocolate-covered raisins, fine on their own, a questionable combo together. Others argue it’s “two masters, one headache.” Either way, the cracks are showing.
- MLS leaders admit associations rely too heavily on MLS access as their only value.
- Associations fear being exposed — forced to prove real value in advocacy, education, and networking.
- New models are emerging: some MLSs carving separate boards, some (like REcolorado) going fully private, and some clinging to the “we’re better together” narrative.
Translation: the industry is redefining what’s essential and what’s… fluff.
