Different markets need different rules
Markets and brokerages may apply different participation, disclosure and offer rules. The platform should support policy configuration without hard-coding a single selling practice.
Broker and agent roles remain central
The MLS can provide consistency and evidence while brokers and agents retain professional responsibilities. Permissions, approval flows and audit trails need to reflect those roles.
Start with one useful service
The MLS can begin with one service and make it available by member group, listing category or market. Other services remain separate decisions.
Before implementation
Review member roles, market rules, broker authority, permissions, integration boundaries and rollout sequencing before deciding how the service should operate.
