From an email to members: NorthstarMLS discontinuing MLS wide license for Homesnap Pro in March
“NorthstarMLS was an early champion and is a current supporter of Broker Public Portal (BPP), an initiative spearheaded by brokers and MLSs to provide a new option for public display of listings. BPP and technology vendor Homesnap entered a joint venture that facilitated BPP’s introduction of Homesnap Pro. At that time, NorthstarMLS added Homesnap Pro as part of its subscriber offerings.
In 2022, Homesnap and BPP ended their joint venture. Given this change, the NorthstarMLS Board of Directors decided to discontinue offering Homesnap Pro effective March 20, 2023. “
Me thinks there is more to this story than what is being said…
Interesting. We still have Homesnap as part of CRMLS. I wonder how the Homesnap offering will affected with the release of Nestfully at the end of this quarter and the release of Perchwell later this year. I like the features of Homesnap so would be disappointed to see it go. But, life goes on…
I wonder if the roll out of Zenlist had something to do with it. The rate if speed on sold transactions was like lighting….and the use of PLN listings may have put a dent in their operation.
