We are officially past the registration numbers achieved during our first virtual event! We couldn’t put this together without you, and we’re eager to share fresh content, exciting industry advances and time spent “together” very soon.
Sleeveface Contest Sponsored by Homes.com – Win a Record Player! | #StandardsAreClassic
The #StandardsAreClassic #RESOremote game, sponsored by Homes.com continues to impress! Please keep those submissions coming! | GAME DETAILS
Join the #StandardsAreClassic social game leading up to and during our RESO Remote Encore: The Standards Collection virtual fall conference, October 27–29, 2020.
Simply grab a vinyl record from your collection (or print a photo) and snap a pic showcasing your best “sleeveface.” Basically, you complete the space outside of the album image.
When you’re happy with your result, share it on Twitter, tagging @RESOstandards, and using the hashtags #RESOremote and #StandardsAreClassic. We will feature photos in a gallery on our event web page.
This sleeveface game, sponsored by Homes.com, is ongoing right now and ends October 28. The winner will receive a record player and will be chosen via vote among attendees to be announced on the final day of the event.
Show off your creativity and love for the standards – both data and musical! If you have any questions, please contact claire@reso.org.
Please note that you must be a registered RESO Remote Encore attendee in order to be eligible to win, but all are welcome to make creative submissions.

New FAQ Answers the Basic MLS Questions You All Get
Frequently Asked Questions About MLSs
We have compiled what we believe is a definitive FAQ for people entering the world of real estate who need to know the basics about MLSs. We know that our members already know this stuff, but we share this with you so you have a resource to share with those who call and email you cold wanting to know how to get access to real estate data. We know that you get those inquiries, because we get them, too. A lot. | VIEW FAQ
The FAQ answers questions about MLS history, ownership, membership, rules, and more. We also want more people to know about the RESO certification map and the fact that you can download a list of all North American MLSs, associations, and other real estate organizations. More technology companies and brokers will be added to the list soon! You can learn more about the map and about the Unique Organization Identifier (UOI) at the RESO Remote Encore conference during one of the two roundtable sessions.
Sample: How many MLSs are there?
As of 2020, there are 597 MLSs in the United States. That number shrinks annually due to regional consolidation of MLSs. Canada has a comparative handful of MLSs (39) which serve the entire country. In most countries, MLSs either do not exist or they do not enjoy the broad market share that North American MLSs have. You can view RESO-certified North American MLSs on RESO’s MLS Map and download a more complete list of MLSs, associations, and other real estate organizations.
The Leaders Have Emerged — and They’re Retiring RETS
Most of the real estate industry is driving its data around in a clunky, decades-old car. But now, leading MLS technology organizations are finally helping us trade it in for a newer and more efficient model.
