The Jackson Association of Realtors released their new MLS system a couple of weeks ago. The program, List-It, is provided by Solid Earth, a real estate technology company based in Huntsville, Alabama.
Realtors have been experimenting with the new site since it went "live" on February 5th. As expected, the transition has been challenging, but the new MLS appears to be superior to the previous system and has some quality enhancements that should prove more user-friendly to Realtors and consumers alike.
For the consumer who wishes to search homes in the Metro Jackson area, the prospect can run MLS searches, save searches, set up automatic searches, etc.
A major improvement of our new system is that we no longer rely on zones or numbered areas to search for properties, Now we have the capability of searching by county or zip code. In the past, listings were occasionally entered in an incorrect area which made them harder to locate. Hopefully the search by zip code will be more efficient.
Another vast improvement is the new geo-mapping system. The previous MLS system had a map program that had not been revised in years.
My personal website provides access to the MLS. The address, PatStarnes.com, is easy to remember. Bookmark the site and keep it handy whenever you want to find homes in Brandon, Pearl, Madison, Ridgeland, or Flowood, MS. If you would rather have me search for you, contact me here.
After the learning curve is conquered, both JAR Realtors and consumers should be pleased with the new site.
