BMAR MLS recently launched a new database of comprehensive property information developed by the Realtors Property Resource, LLC, a company owned by the National Association of Realtors. The exciting comprehensive new service with unparalleled 147 million property records nationwide is currently available to all active MLS participants.
In addition to listing syndication, BMAR was among the first Associations in the country to bring this tool to our members. We decided to partner with RPR because we believe that now, more than ever, consumers need Realtors to help them navigate all the many sources of information and get expert advice on real estate property values an trends in this volatile market.
The amount of data and reports on individual properties including multi-dwellings available through RPR is awesome; aerial views, mapping, median estimated value, 12 month change in value, zoning, tax information and assessments, nearby schools, property history, charts and graphs, comps, nearby distressed properties, neighborhood census data, and customized or branded broker reports.
The RPR branding feature enhances the members presentation, professionalism and provides real value to buyers and sellers. The detailed reports can be easily generated in minutes, emailed and or displayed on their iPad, iPhone or other wireless technology.

BMAR has a rich history with an extraordinary culture of inclusiveness, camaraderie, successful and dynamic business professionals.
