First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) and the Middle Georgia Multiple Listing Service (MGMLS) announced a new agreement that benefits homebuyers, sellers and real estate professionals throughout the state of Georgia.

Under the partnership, property listings will be shared in the native MLS system throughout the expansive FMLS network as well as the middle Georgia network. This dramatically increases exposure
throughout the state, which helps agents and brokers market and sell properties with more efficiency for
potentially faster sales.

“This expands the market opportunity for both MLS’,” according to Jeremy Crawford, President and
CEO of FMLS. “There’s a lot of movement between markets, and this makes the process that much
easier.” In addition, FMLS will extend new, state-of-the-art technology tools to MGMLS members, with
products such as Cloud CMA, Showing Time, Down Payment Resource, and Remine Pro and Docs.

“With nearly 46,000 members, we can purchase software much more affordably per user and extend
that volume buying power to MGMLS’s members,” Crawford concludes.

Suzanne Beers, MGMLS’ Executive Director added, “We are very excited to have greater exposure to
our listings in the greater Atlanta area and new technology choices. We will also be able to access the
FMLS Training Institute, which provides high-quality and accredited real estate training as a free
MGMLS member-benefit.” The FMLS Institute currently offers 33 of GREC’s mandated 36 hours of
continuing education necessary to maintain a real estate license.

“As more consumers start their home buying and selling process online, this will allow all of us to have
better access to the latest real estate data in the most efficient technology and training tools. This also
opens up the door to more referral business between brokers and agents, which helps everyone,”
Beers continues.

The new agreement is effective today with many new products and services being rolled out in second
quarter of 2020.
