Grow Your Business with 500K More Active Listings!

We’re pleased to announce the two latest additions to our growing list of MLS Search Partners: Miami REALTORS® and First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) have joined the network, bringing access to thousands of additional active listings located in South Florida and Georgia.  

 

How does access to these search systems benefit you?

Our MLS Search Partners initiative gives you access to listing data through the search systems of partner MLSs located in regions beyond Bright, many of them in key areas for relocation.

FAQs About Search Partner MLSs

Can I use all the features available in the other MLS? 

Through the Search Partner MLSs link, you can access that MLS partner’s Search system to find, review, share, and save listings created in their area. You cannot enter, create, or update listings. To learn how to navigate each MLS partner’s search system, please refer to their online help resources in their search system. 

Can I send listing information from a partner MLS to my clients? 

With the exception of Stellar MLS, you can share or email listing information to your clients directly from the MLS partner’s search system. At this time, the auto email and exporting features in the Stellar MLS search system are not accessible to Bright subscribers. Please note: Your clients will view and receive this listing information directly from the MLS partner’s client portal—not from Bright.

How can I customize my agent information if I share listings with my clients?

To learn how to customize your information for each MLS partner’s search system, please refer to their online help system. You can access the online help associated with their search system by clicking the Help link under the dropdown menu that displays your name and is located in the right corner of the MLS partner’s search. 

What’s the difference between a search partner and a data share?

With a search partner you are given access to another MLSs search system. You will search for and view listings outside of the Bright system at no additional cost. A data share can include a variety of things, but historically involves access to additional listings directly in the Bright system. Both options provide you with more value included in your Bright MLS subscription, as well as greater access to listings to help grow your business.
