CALMLS, the statewide Multiple Listing Service, launches calREDD™ Web site

LOS ANGELES, CA – February 25, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) — CALMLS, the statewide Multiple Listing Service (MLS) initiative, has launched the calREDD™ (California Real Estate Dynamic Data) Web site at www.calredd.com. calREDD™ is the branding for the products and services offered by CALMLS.

The calREDD™ Web site provides information for REALTORS® about CALMLS, its products, services, rules, policies, and much more.

Features of the calREDD™ Web site include:
.  Services offered by CALMLS
.  Product demos and videos introducing visitors to calREDD™
.  A calendar of upcoming events and product demonstrations
.  Frequently Asked Questions
.  Dedicated sections for brokers and local REALTOR® associations

“For many years it has been the vision of California REALTORS® to have one database to input and search all California real property, regardless of property type, location, or status,” said Mike Silvas, CALMLS chairman and co-owner of Morgan Lane Real Estate, a luxury market brokerage based in Napa, Calif. “The calREDD™ Web site presents us with a one-stop portal to introduce members to this critical initiative.”

Last month, CALMLS’s technology vendor, Concentric Software, conducted standing-room only demonstrations, with local REALTOR® associations vying for priority to utilize the system for their respective MLSs. Concentric Software, located in Rocklin, Calif., will provide a notable and clearly visible leap forward from current MLS software and is built on a platform that can adapt to ever-changing technology needs. To date, 69 local REALTOR® associations and three regional MLSs representing more than 120,000 members across the state already have signed letters of intent to participate in CALMLS.

The calREDD™ Web site can be accessed by visiting www.calredd.com.
