Today’s Inman story about 7 MLS providers agree to share, exchange data has got me perplexed.

By my count there are now 5 MLS or MLS data sharing plans either being built or operating in California.

California MLSAlliance
QUATTRO
CARETS
and
CALMLS -C.A.R.’s effort
“Gang of 7” -Just announced.

Also, most participants belong to more than one!

Plus I would add another group to this list; MLS providers in California who don’t belong to any of the above (such as SANDICOR in San Diego) So that makes 6!

It reminded me on this cartoon I saw on the web.
