Origin of Snake River MLS
Today's MLS is advanced and user-friendly, but before the advent of computers, sharing information about real estate was challenging. In the past, brokers literally kept a physical book of all properties that were available for sale. Real estate agents needed a way to share the properties they had with agents in nearby counties and states. The solution was a real estate agent exchange. Each broker would share their book of the properties that were for sale, and they would meet regularly on a regional basis to physically exchange the information with other brokers. By the early 20th century, these exchanges were taking place across the country, keeping agents aware of what properties were available in areas near their individual regions.
The Advent of Local and National Boards of Realtors
As the exchanges grew and became more popular, they evolved into what is known today as the Local Board of Realtors. It wasn't until the invention of the computer that the Local Board of Realtors and the exchanges took on a new form - the multiple listing service. Today, regional MLS systems allow agents and brokers to list properties and access the listings from other agents from any internet-connected device. For those shopping in the Snake River area, the Snake River MLS provides instant access to all available properties with up-to-date pictures and listing information.
Today, the databases and servers that run the Snake River MLS and other multiple listing services are managed by the National Association of Realtors. All regional MLS services, including the Snake River MLS, must adhere to the rules set by the National Association of Realtors. This governance helps hold those local agents and brokers to a high standard when using the MLS to list properties and present potential properties to their buyers.
