Local Brokers Attended...

There was a meeting held yesterday for all the brokers in the region to hear about the plans to merge the three separate MLS's into one regional system. Overall it was a success as the brokers passed a motion of consensus to continue the process.

As a member of the steering committee myself, and as a member who has worked many hours on the project, I am very pleased.

I do think that many brokers were already in favor of the new regional MLS before they arrived, but it was their chance to hear from the consultant, Gregg Larson from Clareity Consulting, that the three associations have hired to help in this process.

Gregg spoke about the many different types of competitive internet based search tools there are that threaten the traditional MLS. The point was clear, it's way beyond time to provide brokers and agents -- for the clients -- the best and most accurate information to stay ahead of the future competition for these kinds of services.

I do believe that the results of the new regional MLS will be a shining example for the rest of the Associations in the state and beyond to follow. Mohave County will continue to grow and when this process of setting up the new MLS is finished, the REALTORS of Mohave County will be leading the way.
