A close examination of current MLS choices in systems vendors, information aggregation, and lack of inter-MLS cooperation shows that they serve neither effectively.
Agents are upset with poor performance of outdated systems, and the organizations are in trouble.
Here's the problem. There is no end to agents' complaints about MLS legacy systems and their limitations, much less their difficult conversions. The outgoing system providers who lost their contracts have little incentive to cooperate with the incumbents. Fields of information often don't populate properly, causing inaccuracies in every task from CMAs to home searches. System adjustments are costly, training is expensive and often inadequate.
