I have an MLS-only membership where I joined a local MLS but chose not to join CAR, NAR, or local real estate association. I pay a flat fee of $500 for every transaction and $150 for E&O Insurance. This is the best deal I could find.

I would also take a look at Real Broker. I ended up not going with them bc they take a 15% commission out of every transaction.

Hope this helps!

Hey @Blake Hudelson,

I eventually joined REebroker with MLS only membership last year and they are going ahead with a merger this June that needs their agents to be onboard a realtor association. Were you affected with this change and did you switch to another MLS only broker? If so, would you mind sharing the brokerage you are working with? Thanks

Hello BP,

I am looking to hang my real estate license with a local broker. I am not looking to work full time as an agent. I just want to use my license to have access to the MLS, buy and possibly sell homes for my portfolio. Can anyone recommend a broker or brokerage firm? Thanks in advance everyone.

Hey @Allan Ramos,

I am a licensed agent in CA and I am looking for a MLS only broker. Similarly I'm looking to get MLS access only. Did you eventually join a MLS only broker and would you mind sharing the contact or recommendation with me? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I just got my license and get ready to become an investor. I have a burning question, but I cannot find a straight answer online.

So my goal is to have access to MLS, and to find leads for myself and other investors. My focus will be on working with investors and invest in real estate myself. I don't necessarily want to earn commissions at current stage.

My question is: do I absolutely need to join a brokerage? How much is the fee for accessing MLS and joining Association?

Thank you for your help!

Hey @Michelle Berge, it didn't work out with CURB realty. They are a realtor office. Back to square one on this. It has been challenging looking for a MLS only broker..did you do more research on your side?

Hey @Brenda Yeo - Do you mind sharing the one that is willing to do MLS-only? Also, what is their monthly fee? I haven't had any luck on my side...

@Michelle Berge

Check out CURB realty. I believe their monthly fee is $39.

Hey Brenda - I'm in the same boat. Did you happen to find an MLS-only broker?

Hey @Michelle Berge, I’m also with reebroker. Still researching on a suitable broker to work with. Most brokers that I spoke with require realtor membership. One of them interestingly accept agents to park their license and pay a monthly fee, no need to have affiliation with board and still keep mls membership. I’m still considering if to join them. Any luck on your side?

Hi BP family, I have a RE salesperson license in CA and am looking to work with a broker that offer MLS-only subscription. I'm not looking to have an active membership with a realtor association at this time. Looking to have access to MLS for investing purpose. The current broker I'm with will be moving onboard to full membership with realtor. Hence, it is not aligned with my objective. I'm currently with MLS only subscription with OC AOR. If you are a broker who welcome agents with non-affiliation with board of realtor, or know of a broker who operates like this, could you please connect with me? Thanks in advance.
