On June 11, 2019, 16 real estate brokers from around the state of Louisiana got together in Baton Rouge without any Realtor association or multiple listing service staff present and decided it was time for a consolidated MLS.
Brokers who belonged to multiple MLSs wanted to be able to train their staff on one MLS system, not two or more, and wanted to stop paying up to four MLS fees to do business across geographic areas, according to Craig Mirambell, broker-owner of Mirambell Realty in Metairie, Louisiana, who was at the meeting.
“For years, brokers have always wanted a unified system, one with a unified set of rules,” Mirambell told Inman in a phone interview.
