MFRMLS website appears to be down

I attempted to reach the MFRMLS site and found an error message, "Account for domain www.mfrmls.com has been suspended". From messages I receive when accessing the MLS it appears that MFRMLS is aware and are working on the problem.

For those trying to reach MFRMLS, here are the phone numbers I have:

Technical assistance: 407-218-8607
Toll free: 800-686-7451

MFRMLS unveils new web site: myfloridahomesmls. com

Search for homes in Florida

MFRMLS announced the launching of a new website, myfloridahomesmls.com, as an effective way to compete against 3rd party listing sites. Key points of the announcement were:
  • no additional expense to its members
  • gives the consumer updated information every fifteen minutes
  • not created to compete with agent or company sites
  • there will be no advertising, up selling, lead redirection, premium placement or any other way for agents or listings to have an advantage over any other

When I first wrote about this the site was being described as "similar to realtor.com". No word on who will be in charge of search engine optimization in order to compete with those evil 3rd party sites. I would suggest they take a look at their title tags right off the bat.

It may not have been created to compete with agent sites but at the end of the day it will do just that.

MFRMLS vs Realtor.com?

Search for homes

Mid Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service has announced plans to develop a new site that in their words will be “similar to Realtor.com”.

The new site is being presented as a “tremendous asset” to agents who may enjoy the benefits of their listings being found by searching buyers.

The “similar to Realtor.com” makes me wonder just how similar? Will this “tremendous asset” site cost the membership to advertise or to have their listings placed in a position where they might be found? If there are to be advertisements and pay for features opportunities, will the membership see any additional assets? Maybe a piece of the income produced?

One thing we do know, the membership is being given an opportunity to suggest names for the site. If they use a name suggested, the agent who suggested the name will receive a $100. gift card.
