Any Cloud Brokerages that Do Not Require You to Join a MLS?

[Mike Miller]

I got my license to write my own offers on my own rental properties I buy. I have no intention to represent sellers or buyers, or ever list a property. No need for the MLS.

Including the cloud brokers like REAL and EXP Realty- all the brokerages I've researched so far require to join a local MLS & NAR. As a company policy, not law. My local MLS comes out to $966 per year! It bundles CAR membership. I have no need.

Any brokerages you know of that don't require MLS membership?

Never heard of a brokerage that doesnt require you to join an MLS. Keep in mind your other associated costs with being an agent. Licensing fees, CE classes, E&O insurance, general business liability insurance, sentrilock/suprakey fees, board association, etcc. Its costly to maintain a real estate license.

Also keep in mind if you are not a member of your local board, you can not use their forms. They are copyrighted material that is licensed for use to their members.
