We're owned and run by Northwest brokers, not a REALTOR® association.
Our policies are created here, not across the country, by NAR.
That makes a big difference for you, especially now.
More value. A bigger voice.
A nimbler, more innovative MLS.
“Before merging with NWMLS, we were part of a smaller, Realtor-owned MLS. Joining NWMLS was a major step forward—it brought us powerful tools, statewide data, and a higher standard of professionalism. The transition was smooth, and the support from NWMLS staff was exceptional. Now as a member of the NWMLS Board of Directors, I see firsthand how NWMLS empowers brokers across the state with the tools and information we need to compete, thrive, and serve consumers better. NWMLS is a leader in the industry, both locally and nationally - and I'm proud to be part of it.”
“As an active agent and longtime advocate for accessibility in real estate, I'm proud of the advancements that NWMLS has made. They've led the nation by taking real steps to make the industry more accessible by creating a system where consumers with unique circumstances can search for properties that accommodate their needs. NWMLS doesn't treat accessibility as a checkbox; it's part of their broader commitment to a more transparent and inclusive marketplace. I've been honored to collaborate with NWMLS and see the impact of that work firsthand.”
“As the owner of a small independent firm, I count on NWMLS's open, fair, and transparent marketplace that ensures that all brokers and consumers have equal access to all property listings. This system supports fair housing by affording all buyers and brokers an equal opportunity to negotiate for the purchase of all properties. NWMLS also provides me with the tools, support, and technology that I need to help me deliver great service to my clients. Because NWMLS is broker-owned and broker-governed—I know my voice matters, and I'm proud to help shape an organization that continues to raise the standard for our industry.”
