We are proud to bring you Michigan's most widely used MLS platform, Flexmls.  It's user friendly, customizable, and has all of the the ools you need to succeed - including a mobile app for on-the-go use!

Our goal in providing this amazing opportunity to subscribers is not only to provide a great platform with all the tools you need to succeed in business but to also keep your costs low. Brokers will pay the same rates as agents, without any office fees.

GMAR MLS 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).
