Imagine having access to listings across Southern California by accessing ONE system. CARETS (California Real Estate Technology Services) has achieved this dream and made it into a reality. CARETS is currently made up of five participating MLS organizations, MRMLS, CRISNet, CLAW, I-Tech, and SoCal MLS. CARETS provides the following:
| |
· One System to Add Listings (no need to reciprocate to other participating MLSs)
· One System to Search for Listings
· One System to learn
· One Set of Rules and Regulations
· One Set of Data Violations
· One Set of Enforcement Rules
|
In September you will have the ability to access all Residential and Residential Lease listings through Matrix without having to go elsewhere. You will simply have more listings, more data, and more searchable choices in one convenient system.

Q. |
Will I need to be trained on how to use CARETS? |
|
A. |
No, CARETS listings will be seamlessly displayed in Matrix using the same displays and reports. You will use the same searching and listing input techniques that you currently use. The only differences you will see is expanded listing data, expanded search options, and new rules and regulations. |

Q. |
Does Carets have all the MLS data in Southern California? |
|
A. |
CARETS is not a statewide MLS. At this time CARETS is comprised of five participating MLS organizations and 27 Associations and Board of Realtors. However, CARETS is proactively working with other MLSs to increase the coverage area to give each of our participants and subscribers as much data as possible. |
