MLS Today and MLS Tomorrow - MLS 5.0 Document What will be required to build on the current solid foundation of today’s MLS? This paper attempts to answer this question and create a basis for an industry discussion. Open and frank discussion is essential to creating the tools and organizations that will position REALTORS® to provide services to meet the expectations of future buyers and sellers. This Paper is a vision and not a roadmap. MLS in the broad, generic sense, needs to be redefined in the age of information proliferation and online participatory environments. MLS is more than an offer of compensation and cooperation, but how much more? That decision is up to you. Saul Klein CEO InternetCrusade® CEO Point2 Technologies August 7, 2008 MLS5.0@SaulKlein.com
	Realtown Discussion Group on Short Sales This Realtown discussion group is to share information and to gain knowledge about Short Sales. The discussions stem from the National Association of REALTORS' MLS rule approved at the May meetings to other REALTORS' experiences. Join in the discussions by asking your specific questions and receive feedback from the experts as well as your peers.
	Short Sales Strategies Discussion Group This is a group to share information and to gain knowledge about the ever growing, and ever changing, short sale transaction niche. We all know short sale has nothing to do with the time being short, and everything to do with long waits, endless hoops to jump thru and the stress of dealing with clients that are in many cases, in the worst financial position of their lives. That is the reason for this group. Whether you want to ask if someone knows a tip or trick for dealing with a particular lender, or the best way to gain more listings - we're hoping this group will become a resource for all things short sales. We welcome real estate agents - on the front lines, as well as we'd welcome attorneys, financial advisors and CPA's, etc who help us with our clients every day.
	Technology Tools This discussion group talks about all types of technology, whether it is hardware or software.
