Some of you may have heard that there was to be a forum with representatives of Greater Southern MLS and the data share offered by 4 Associations on the 27th of this month. While having an event in order to objectively review questions and answers about each initiative could have been a productive situation under the right circumstances, the event proposed did not meet that criteria and thus, Greater Southern MLS has made the decision to withdraw from the event.
This decision was made after not being able to ensure a format for the event that we the Board of Greater Southern MLS thought would be conducive to a productive meeting. Before agreeing to the event Greater Southern MLS was told there would be a mutually agreed to format. This important task was never accomplished before promotion began.
Specifically, Greater Southern MLS asked for two changes to the format to ensure an objective and transparent exchange of information. First, we asked for no more than 4 people to represent each initiative to keep the conversation focused. We were denied. Instead, there was supposed to be 16 people on stage when initially it was stated there would be a “couple” from each organization.
Second, we asked that all questions to be asked would be made available to both groups prior to the event to ensure thorough, complete, and transparent answers that would not violate any Anti-Trust laws or any existing non-disclosure agreements. Again, Greater Southern MLS was denied this reasonable request. Since neither of the two requests, designed to ensure a business-like, objective discussion were granted, the Board of Directors has decided to cancel its participation in the forum.
Greater Southern MLS has chosen, instead, to focus its energies on delivering business generating technologies, support and training, to help our subscribers succeed in any way we can as it always does.
We welcome the opportunity to continue to educate all Louisiana brokers about the value of a true statewide MLS. We have supported over $1 billion in real estate transactions to date and look forward to supporting our subscribers with more real estate success. We are also very interested in any suggestions our subscribers have for making Greater Southern MLS work harder for them.
If you have questions about Greater Southern MLS or suggestions about how to make the service stronger, feel free to reach out to us at admin@greatersouthernmls.com
As always, Greater Southern MLS, the MLS focused on YOUR success™ is here to work for you.
