Navigating Fair Pricing for Open MLS Access As discussions intensify around expanding MLS access to all licensees—driven by recent lawsuits—many associations and MLSs are reevaluating their pricing structures.

This approach raises significant compliance and fairness questions, especially under the new NAR Anti-Trust Settlement. Avoiding Price Discrimination with Open MLS Subscriptions from WAV Group offers a best practices guide for associations to structure fair, justifiable pricing. This resource provides clear steps to document any additional service costs and avoid potential antitrust risks.

Now that vaccines are available and COVID-19 protocols are changing, the question that many industries are dealing with is whether they should continue to work remotely or not. The real estate industry is one that was able to successfully navigate the pandemic shut downs and now must answer the reopening question. WAV Group has surveyed over 100 MLS and associations about how they are evaluating and answering this very important question that will shape the new normal for years to come.

The 2021 WAV Group Transaction Management Interoperability Study revealed brokers have strong interest in the ability for Digital Transaction Management systems to pass data seamlessly for the brokerages representing two sides of a transaction. Today, brokers have to enter data in as many as 9 or 10 systems, creating inefficiency, added cost and increased chances of inaccurate data. According to the study, nearly 3/4 of brokers would like to enter data into one system, either at the MLS or brokerage, and then seamlessly pass the information to other systems.
