ValleyMLS.com Wins Inaugural Leading Edge Award at RESO

ValleyMLS.com has received the Leading Edge award! At the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) conference in Tucson, Arizona, the MLS was recognized for its achievement in RESO’s most forward-thinking products and leadership in RESO Web API adoption.

“Innovation is critical component of our strategic plan not in our industry and our cutting-edge community,” said ValleyMLS.com chair Zelda Friedman. “Our terrific staff and Realtor® volunteer leaders ensure every day that we’re not just keeping ahead of current trends, but setting tomorrow’s as well.”

“RESO continues to find creative new ways to achieve its goals of accelerating innovation and enhancing data interoperability,” said Sam DeBord, CEO. “Our members not only drive RESO’s strategic decisions, but they contribute their time and effort towards applying those innovations at their home organizations.

Moving an entire industry from transporting data through the aging and proprietary Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS) to the modern RESO Web API, built upon an open standard that is used in many fields beyond real estate, takes the kind of foresight the list of recognized companies represents.

 

The WWRED course is the first of its kind, and the success of it has been plain to see through course completions by large numbers of staff within the list of recognized brokers, technology companies and Multiple Listing Services.
