The Open MLS Institute aims to bring competition to real estate markets in the United States by opening multiple listing services (MLSs) nationwide. We are committed to championing innovators and energetic competitors, and to combating longstanding policies – both formal and informal – that unfairly and unethically obstruct these innovators. We aim to upgrade ethics in the real estate community.
Specifically, the Institute intends to create open MLSs in which:
- Information on homes for sale and rent is viewable for free on the web
- Anyone can list a home for sale or rent for a reasonable fee without regard to their professional status
- Content is downloadable by anyone for free without any copyright restrictions
- Data and applications are interoperable with other open MLSs
- Search features return results without regard to the business interests of the person listing the property in the open MLS.
