The two largest Illinois-focused multiple listing services – Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) and RMLS Alliance – have announced a data-sharing partnership designed to benefit nearly 50,000 agents and brokers.
The MLSs have begun working on technical integration, and expanded access is expected to roll out later this year. More details on this partnership will be announced in the coming months.
MRED serves real estate professionals across northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and northwest Indiana. RMLS Alliance includes subscribers across Capital Area Realtors, Egyptian Board of Realtors, Quad City Area Realtor Association, and the Peoria Area Association of Realtors.
“This is a major step toward improving real estate collaboration,” said MRED President and CEO Rebecca Jensen. “This initiative will provide real estate professionals with expanded access to property listings across Illinois—enhancing transparency, efficiency, and market reach.”
“This is what progress looks like – MLSs working together to foster a more competitive, efficient marketplace for the benefit of the consumers and professionals who rely on them,” said RMLS Alliance General Manager Cathy Wagner. “This move strengthens both data access and transparency, which are essential to a healthy, competitive real estate industry.”
