GreaterMLS Overview and Information

The GreaterMLS is provided for only $99.00 per quarter, with no additional office fees charged to brokers!

The billing schedule is as follows:

Participant and Subscriber quarterly fees will be billed on the first day of each month, due on the thirtieth day of same month. Late fees will be assessed on the first day of the following month, providing a 10-day grace period. All unpaid Participant and Subscriber accounts will be suspended from the MLS on the eleventh day.

New members must complete the online application prior to access to the MLS being provided. Fees for new members will be prorated based on the time of application. If joining day 1-15 of the month, the full amount will be billed at the time of application. Alternatively, if joining days 15 through the end of the month, they will be charged one-half of the monthly fees at time of application, plus the additional fees for the remaining months in the current quarter.

This is a separate billing from your GMAR Realtor member dues (which also include dues for Michigan Realtors and National Association of Realtors).

Members will need to login to the GMAR Member Portal to ensure their payment is made prior to the dates indicated above to avoid interruption of services.

GMAR members gain access to a fully customizable MLS experience that simplifies daily real estate tasks. With GMAR’s adoption of the Flexmls® platform, the GreaterMLS is positioned to become Michigan’s go-to MLS, offering unmatched accessibility and efficiency statewide.

Additionally, members have the flexibility to choose the transaction management system that best fits their workflow. Whether it’s Transaction Desk/Authentisign, ZipForms, or DotLoop, these tools help streamline paperwork, enhance collaboration, and keep transactions moving efficiently.
