The Realtors Associations of Grey-Bruce Owen Sound, Muskoka-Haliburton-Orillia (The Lakelands) and Southern Georgian Bay recently completed the database integration of their respective MLS Systems, providing a combined membership of more than 1,500 with the ability to seamlessly search property listings across all three boards. The integrated systems are hosted by Millennium Real Estate Solutions, a subsidiary of Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies.
This project represents a huge benefit for buyers, say the boards. It removes the technology-imposed borders that previously restricted property search capabilities of buyer representatives to a single board jurisdiction. Sellers will also benefit because their listings will now have greater exposure to potential buyers, without the added cost of placing listings on multiple MLS Systems.
The boards say the data integration represents a substantial undertaking for the three associations and for Millennium. Unrestricted access for the members of these associations now covers a vast area of central Ontario.
