Unlock MLS, led by CEO Emily Chenevert, is now offering real estate licensees access to essential services like lockboxes and education without requiring Realtor membership. This decision aims to provide flexibility, allowing agents to select tools that meet their specific needs. The move coincides with legal challenges against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) regarding mandatory membership requirements tied to MLS access. Other Realtor associations, like Phoenix Realtors, are following suit, emphasizing a shift towards greater choice in the real estate profession.
By decoupling MLS access from mandatory Realtor membership, we are empowering brokers and agents to select the professional tools and affiliations that align with their unique needs.
It's important for subscribers to know and understand that Unlock MLS values the ability for them to choose what's best for their business.
ABoR's announcement comes amid a flurry of lawsuits filed by real estate professionals that take aim at NAR's three-way membership agreement, which requires licensees to join their local, state and national associations.
ABoR is not the only Realtor association that is decoupling MLS access from Realtor membership; Phoenix Realtors has announced an MLS Choice membership option.
