MLS Data Licensing Options

RealMLS listing data is copyrighted and therefore requires a data licensing agreement between the vendor, the broker and the MLS. The applicable use determines which Data Licensing Agreement is required. There are four types of permitted use (IDX, VOW, Back Office and Broker’s Own Data*). Securing the appropriate licensing agreement assures your website and/or third-party application will always be up-to-date and accurate.

Please determine the appropriate use from the choices below and follow the instructions. If you have any questions you can contact us at idx@realmls.com.  Also available below, for each use, are the applicable rules (if any).
