MULTI MARKET BROKERS
Brokers and agents who work across multiple markets will receive tremendous benefits from ROAM MLS. What previously required FIVE (5) MLS memberships, will now require just one!
Data licensing that used to require multiple license agreements can now just be handled through a single-agreement eliminating the cost and time required for your third-party vendors to have to aggregate all that listing content. There are also no more conflicts with having to keep up with disparate rules and regulations, and best of all, cooperation and compensation remains in place with all the in-place dispute resolution systems that help make the market work.
SINGLE MARKET BROKERS
You’re not alone. The vast majority of REALTORS® in Louisiana DO NOT work across multiple markets. Article 11 of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics also compels REALTORS® not to work in areas outside their specialization. For these users, ROAM offers significant benefits:
- Greater Exposure Listings entered into ROAM MLS are made avaialable to over 80% of REALTORS working in Louisiana. While you may not be working in outside markets, you next purchaser may be! A ROAM membership costs approximately 1/5th of what it woudl have cost to reach that same level of MLS distribution before ROAM.
- Greater Service for Your Clients! If you don’t work outside your local market and are in the practice of making out-of-market referrals, having access to the broader listing inventory gives you the ability to initially respond to a customers inquiry in a much more professional manner helping maintain your relationship with your client as a trusted resource before making that referral. If you primarly live and work in a market NOT covered by ROAM, consider adding acccess to ROAM as a secondary membership to gain access to the largest network of agents and listigns in Louisiana — including such key metropolitan areas as New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Houma, Thibodeaux, Alexandria, Pineville and more
