CMLS - Council of Multiple Listing Services

CMLS is an association of 231 multiple listing services, serving over 1.8 million combined subscribers. CMLS is committed to a competitive real estate marketplace accessible to all, advances the pursuit of excellence among its member organizations, and serves as the unified voice of the MLS community. We believe that the efficiency, transparency, and vibrancy of the North American residential real estate market is the envy of the world and worth preserving. The MLS plays a key role in making this market work as it does. It is our mission, at CMLS, to make sure the MLS thrives in this position. This requires us to advance the cause of excellence in the MLS industry; to champion those who set high standards; to support those who seek to improve; and to share what the best can teach us – so that we, as an industry, can move forward. Excellence can be found in the MLSs that are small or large, association owned, or broker owned, set on expansion or committed to a single community. We believe in a strong MLS system, for there is much that depends on it.
