AMPI is
building their National MLS
What is an MLS?
The acronym MLS (Multiple Listing Service English – Multi List Security) is the name that identifies the system developed in several countries for collaboration between real estate professionals. This collaboration is given by a database, regulated, that allows sharing of captured real estate inventory (list), so that any member of the MLS can sell real estate taken up by other partners, states clearly the method of compensation (commission-sharing ) between the agents involved.
The MLS also have a code of ethics (set of rules, regulations and standards of conduct) that they must accept all its members and regulates the proper functioning of them and sets the rules for collaboration among partners. The origin of the MLS goes back to early last century in America and has evolved from paper listings to sophisticated online systems for internet and mobile access we know today.
In 2010 the National Assembly approved the development of a MLS system for our country and Softelligence selected the firm for its creation. The launch is scheduled for 2 nd semester of 2011. Our MLS is a tool that will greatly help boost the real estate of all members of our Association. It will have special features such as searching by different criteria, including search by map, wireless Cadastre and Public Registry (coordinated locally by each section), historical sales by area, property type, etc., Statistics, comparative market analysis as automatic filters by ownership, contract fees and percentages to be distributed among real estate professionals, visitor statistics, e-mail contact, registration of stakeholders, customer requests, keys for SMS messaging and search, collaboration networks between IP’s, local statistics, state, regional and national, social networks and replica and other real estate portals. In addition, all inventory will be published in our national portal www.ampi.org (administered by Intellia) in www.masquecasas.mx (also administered by Intellia) and the entire network of websites with whom we have agreements concluded.
The MLS benefits everyone: homeowners and buyers and renters on one side and the real estate agent on the other to create tools that allow to give a professional service to its customers. Will increase customer loyalty and give much certainty and consumer confidence. The creation of MLS AMPI mark a watershed in the property sector for the benefit of all actors. The combination of this ambitious system with the creation of real estate law currently being promoted in several states and have already been adopted by some as Sonora, Coahuila and Tabasco, give great security to buyers and sellers.
—-> Differences between MLS and Real Estate Portal
An MLS is a real estate portal. A duplicate MLS has no properties. An MLS is dictated properties (commercial, legal and tax) for a real estate professional. An MLS provides clear rules to foster collaboration between agents and capable of locating the property in less time. An MLS is a private section, with access controlled by user key and password, with all the private information described above, serving the real estate professional.
