A strategic focus for CMLS is to promote excellence in the MLS by educating consumers and real estate professionals on the value of MLS and its critical importance to the North American real estate industry.

The Value of the MLS System

"Miraculous" comes to mind if you stop and think about it for a moment. Over a million independent contractors. Tens of thousands of companies. Hundreds of different business models. Competitors, cooperating. To make homeownership happen. That’s the power of MLS.

Champions of MLS

The current legal and regulatory focus being directed at our industry is significant and has the potential to be impactful. Now, we need to use our voice to ensure the public and regulators understand the same truths we believe about the value of the MLS.

It is time to act and champion the truth. Please join us.
