REdistribute is a new collaborative venture from CRMLS and Bright MLS
Making sure brokerages are compensated at market value for their data
CRMLS is thrilled to announce our launch of REdistribute, a collaborative venture with Bright MLS that will aggregate and distribute MLS data while ensuring that participating brokers are compensated at fair market value for the data they bring.
REdistribute aims to rebalance the current industry norm: third parties using MLS data to their profit without returning any of that value to the brokers and agents who supplied that information.
Through this venture, CRMLS and Bright MLS are putting a “stake in the ground” to ensure brokerages are fairly compensated for the data they provide and to create a more open and transparent marketplace for everyone.
This is truly a turning point for our industry.
Read our press release for more details on this launch and the future of REdistribute.

Share the CRMLS Compliance Quiz with your office
We recently launched a new CRMLS Compliance Quiz:
The quiz is short, optional, and anonymous. It will be helpful in educating agents about common rules violations, saving you time, money, and stress. We encourage you to share it with your office. We want them to learn common rules and pitfalls here, not through a violation notice.
