OpenMLS is an online listing
community where anyone can post and advertise property worldwide.
This service is open to the entire online community including
buyers, owners,
professionals, businesses,
government, and
everyone else worldwide.
OpenMLS is not a real estate
brokerage nor is it affiliated with the National Association of Realtors or
the Open MLS Institute.
OpenMLS is simply a "level playing field"
for everyone worldwide to buy and sell properties.
Building An Open Community
The main goal is to encourage
openness. We believe this will directly create a channel of
communication between a new group of buyers and sellers who would
not have had
an opportunity in the past. eBay,
Craigslist, and open source
communities have proven that when people are given a voice and are
informed, everyone wins!
In a nutshell, this is the focus for OpenMLS.
The History Stuff
The OpenMLS idea was hatched by one,
Corey Leong.
His idea is to centralize the entire multiple listing system where everyone has a chance to post and view
all listings worldwide. When he's not working, Corey is an XML programmer,
and an open source software advocate.
