FL, September 26, 2018 –
The Northeast Florida MLS, operating as RealtyWEB.Net and the Hernando 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.

“RealtyWEB.Net MLS is excited to partner with the Hernando
County Association of REALTORS® and their MLS to share listing data,” said
NEFMLS President Kathy Karr-Garcia. “I see this as a tremendous value to
our members and is the fourth in what I hope will be many agreements that allow
REALTOR® members in the 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
Karr-Garcia.
Ron
Stephan, CEO of RealtyWEB.Net MLS commented “This is a mutually beneficial
service provided to our combined membership. The data share is a
non-threatening solution as the listing data will appear in our respective MLS
systems. While alternate data sharing
methods will be used as well, members will be able to view listing and
comparable historic data within the applications they use on a daily basis
without having to learn a new program.”
“Hernando County Association of REALTORS® leadership recognizes the importance of
serving both our members 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 HCAR and NEFAR,” said Ed Hirst, HCAR President.
Bill Lampert, President of Hernando County
Information Services (HCIS) said, “We are very happy to be able to expand our
MLS footprint for our members to search properties and find homes for customers
in northeast Florida. RealtyWEB.Net MLS and NEFAR are top notch organizations,
and we are proud to collaborate with such leaders in our industry.”
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 Hernando 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 Hernando County Association of Realtors®," said Ben
Bates, NEFAR President. Bates added, " This is an example of putting our
members first and increasing cooperation within the industry and the local
marketplaces."
