Here is the latest update on the California Statewide MLS!
CALIFORNIA MLS UPDATE: The new California MLS (CALMLS) had its first board of directors' meeting May 1, 2008 and made significant progress. Mike Silvas, a well respected broker owner from the Napa area, was elected as the Chairman of the Board. The directors approved its initial bylaws based on the policy recommendations from the C.A.R. Board of Directors at the January meetings. The CALMLS bylaws will be presented to the C.A.R. board of directors for approval in June. The board also approved draft MLS rules that will be posted for comment and discussed at the C.A.R. meetings. These rules use the C.A.R. Model MLS Rules as their base but reconcile the local variances. It also includes a comprehensive citation policy which is based on many of the successful models in place in some areas of the state. Finally, the directors approved a comprehensive RFP to get a vendor for the statewide MLS. The CALML S board of directors will review these proposals in June and select a final vendor, or combination of vendors.
