Big Changes Coming with FMLS!

GCMLS has partnered with FMLS (First MLS) out of Georgia. This move allows Gulf Coast MLS to offer our subscribers more programs and tools, at no additional cost to you. For the same amount of your current MLS access fees, your Matrix will be enhanced with the power of FMLS support to move into the future faster. Aligning ourselves with a larger body of MLS subscribers will simply give us more technology to achieve that goal.
We will maintain our own local MLS Rules and governance.
FMLS will also be providing access to their online training center. They have already received approval for Alabama CE on our new Matrix and Realist platform. We are excited to offer a series of live and virtual classes, including some for CE and others with an overview. Please check the training schedule for class dates and times.
Some existing and new features include the following:
Input – This provides add/edit into Matrix and can auto-fill data from public records.
A free agent website creator.
Remine Pro – The full search tool that combines searching MLS and Tax data with AI that helps agents identify properties that might be good prospects for leads.
Another feature of Remine includes transaction management with e-sign. This will allow an offer to be created and work its way, electronically, to closing.
One key selling point of Remine is the single point of entry feature. We will have our data mapped and ready to use. It does require any other entity that we would want to work with, to agree to map their data for this feature to work.
Full Cloud suite:
Cloud CMA – including Homebeat which allows agents to stay engaged with past clients.
CloudStreams – A great client portal tool.
Cloud MLX – A quick and simple search tool that is a lot easier to use than Matrix when an agent is on the go.
Cloud Attract – a paid tool that helps generate leads.
MarketStats:
InfoSparks – a great tool that allows agents to create visual data reports that can be printed, emailed, or added to websites.
FastStats – A quick and simple report tool that generates data from counties down to zip codes.
Homesnap Pro – a powerful mobile search and lead generation tool.
Down Payment Resource – A great tool that helps agents and their clients find down payment assistance programs for qualifying properties. An icon appears in Matrix if the property may qualify for at least one program. It also works in Remine.
We have been very busy behind the scenes to convert our data to all these new systems. Keep an eye out for our weekly emails, leading up to the launch. We will be highlighting different features with videos. Take a moment to watch and see what is coming your way.
