Expanded MLS Data Access – NorCal MLS Alliance Project
The NorCal MLS Alliance is a groundbreaking MLS Data integration project involving seven leading Northern California MLSs. The project, scheduled to launch on January 20, 2021, will expand the existing MLS Reciprocal Access, enabling you to access listing information for Bay East, BAREIS, bridgeMLS, Contra Costa, MetroList, MLSListings, and San Francisco all within the Paragon MLS system. View the complete coverage map below.
Highlights of the project include:
- Single Point of Entry: Listings entered in Paragon MLS will be displayed automatically in each MLS named above.
- Single Search Point: Search listing data throughout the 22 counties covered by these MLSs, all within Paragon MLS.
- Create CMAs, Auto Email, and Save Searches for clients, including the expanded data using Paragon MLS System.
Items to be aware of
Upon launch, all listing data entered in BAREIS, San Francisco, MetroList, and MLSListings MLS platforms will be accessible within the Paragon system. There are items that cannot automatically transfer from the other MLSs into the Paragon MLS and will require action on your part.
- Saved Searches: If you set up saved searches in any of the other MLS platforms, you will need to document the saved search criteria and re-create it in Paragon after the expanded data share has launched.
- Contacts: If you have added contacts in any of the other MLS platforms, you will need to export the contact data, save the list on your computer, and import the contacts into Paragon.
- CMAs– If you have saved CMAs in any of the other MLS platforms, you will need to keep a copy on your computer.
- Listings (Active, Active Contingent, Pending, Withdrawn Temporarily): If you have entered a listing directly into any of the other MLS platforms, you will need to do one of the following:
-
-
-
- Cancel your existing listing and re-enter it into the Paragon MLS, and you will have access to make updates as needed; or
- Email your listing updates to MLSServices@bayeast.org here, and Bay East staff will ensure the appropriate MLS updates your listing.
