I am a proponent of San Diego realtors joining the CRMLS (with 80,000+ members) because their system is vastly superior to the crappy MLS version supplied by our Sandicor. But here’s an alternative reason why we should adopt a statewide MLS – because consumers know more than realtors:
It’s My Business, the campaign for statewide MLS listing access in California, traveled to the C.A.R. Meetings in Sacramento in May 2017.
Industry leaders were asked “What is the Future of the MLS?” Hear their answers, plus what they think about 3rd party listing websites and how they’ve changed the business of real estate.

Very true. We tried using Sandicor to search for homes and information about those homes. But, we discovered that Sandicor just isn’t very user friendly and lacks many of the features that some of the 3rd party sites offer to the consumer. Even though most of the information we did get through the 3rd party sites got fed into those sites via the Sandicor MLS, the 3rd party sites just did a better job of communicating or packaging that information in a more user friendly manner.
