FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Northeast Florida Multiple Listing Service, Inc., Northeast Florida Association of Realtors®, Inc., Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors®, and Ocala/Marion County Multiple Listing Service, Inc. Sign Data Share Agreement
Mutual Reciprocity of Supra Lockbox Key Access Included for Members
Jacksonville and Ocala,
FL, September 20, 2016 –
The Northeast Florida MLS, operating as RealtyWEB.Net and the Ocala/Marion County Association of
REALTORS®
have signed a Multiple Listing Service data share agreement. This agreement will allow listing data to be
shared directly between the MLSs, providing real estate professionals of each
organization with access to more than 20,000 active listings as well as
comparable and historical information. Both entities use Flexmls® created by
FBS, which will provide for a seamless integration. The arrangement also allows
for mutual reciprocity regarding Supra lockbox key access.
“NEFMLS is excited to partner with the Ocala/Marion County Association
of REALTORS® to share listing data,” said Mark Rosener, NEFMLS President
2016. “I see this as a tremendous value to our members and is the first
in what I hope will be many agreements that allow REALTOR® members in
surrounding areas the ability to serve our consumers, and one another, with a
much higher level of professionalism.”
“The business is still local, but the boundaries of ‘local’
are broadening with technology – we are proud that we continue to take steps to
stay ahead of the trends in MLS Technology,” added
Rosener.
Ron
Stephan, CEO of RealtyWEB.Net commented “This is a mutually beneficial service
provided to our combined membership. The Flexmls data share is a
non-threatening solution as the listing data will appear in our respective Flexmls
systems. While alternate data sharing methods
will be used as well, members will be able to view listing data within the
applications they use on a daily basis without having to learn a new program.”
“We at OMCAR, recognize the importance of serving
both our membership and their consumers. While this is not our first data
sharing agreement, we see this as a value-added step in creating a remarkable
data source for members of both OMCAR and NEFAR,” said R. Dale Barron, OMCAR
President 2016.
Glenn
East, CEO of Northeast
Florida Association of Realtors® (NEFAR) stated, “This
is an awesome opportunity to share access to our Supra lock box service with
the members of Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors® at no additional expense
to either association's membership. In
2015, NEFAR opened its Supra lock box key access to all Florida Realtor®
members, at no additional expense, provided they have a current primary Supra
key access within their primary Realtor® association. Florida Realtor® members
utilizing alternate key box systems may purchase individual access to the NEFAR
lock box system."
"NEFAR
welcomes the opportunity to share its data and Supra lock box key access with
the members of the Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors®," said
Terrell Newberry, NEFAR President 2016. Newberry added, " This is an example
of putting our members first and increasing cooperation within the industry and
the local marketplaces."
