“Since the launch of the RPR last fall, MLSs have continued to see high value in the RPR application for their members”, says Dale Ross, CEO of RPR. “The offer of robust data sets, analytics and reports all available through a nation-wide property database—at no charge to the members—is essential to the our member’s success given today’s economic challenges. RPR saves Brokers and agents time and money, while giving them tremendous single source access to dynamic property information.”

New products and initiatives specially designed for NAR member segments such as the Broker Tool Sets, RPR Commercial, and the RPR Data Share platform for MLSs have proven to be a great benefit as we have begun to introduce them to the members. We’ve worked hard to gain the confidence of the industry and it’s gratifying to see the response to RPR’s member benefit value proposition”
