Stellar Mls, Rhode Island’s State-wide Mls Announce Data Share

Real estate professionals in Rhode Island will now have access to listings in Florida thanks to a reciprocal data share agreement between Stellar MLS, the largest MLS in Florida, and State-Wide MLS, a subsidiary of Rhode Island Association of Realtors.

Rhode Island Realtors serves roughly 6,000 members across Rhode Island and other parts of New England. 

“Our reciprocal MLS access agreement with State-Wide MLS is a win for real estate professionals, the consumers they serve, and ultimately, the industry as a whole,” Merri Jo Cowen, the CEO of Stellar MLS, said in a statement. “It enhances mobility between the two regions, whether customers have clients relocating, purchasing a second home or investing out of state.”

Through this agreement, State-Wide MLS subscribers can now search and view listings entered into both the Stellar and State-Wide systems without the need for additional memberships. This agreement provides State-Wide MLS subscribers with access to over 326,000 listings in 11 states and territories, as well as 17 countries outside of the U.S. 

“We are thrilled with this partnership opportunity,” Philip Tedesco, the CEO of State-Wide MLS, said in a statement. “Rhode Island has many residents spending a lot of time in Florida, so reciprocal MLS access with Stellar MLS makes a lot of sense for us.”

Last month, Stellar MLS announced that it had entered into a reciprocal data share agreement with Miami Association of Realtors. This announcement came after Stellar announced additional agreements with Bright MLS and Georgia’s First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS).
