“CARETS: What have we learned so far?” tells the story of a successful collaboration among five* Southern California multiple listing services (MLSs) with the goal to solve a long-existing problem that gets in the way of business. CARETS (California Real Estate Technology Services Inc.) addressed this problem – dysfunctional overlapping markets – by establishing a data-sharing arrangement powered by CURE Solutions Group LLC, a subsidiary of MRIS.

“CARETS: What have we learned so far?” spends equal time explaining the challenges and opportunities of a data-sharing collaboration as it does presenting CURE as the technology behind the solution. This balanced presentation allows readers to come away from this paper feeling educated and ready to take next steps with their own data management.

If you would like to speak with any of the CARETS participants, or with the directors of CURE Solutions Group, please contact CURESolutions@mris.net.

*Five MLSs are active in CARETS as of October 2009. Others are anticipated to become active by mid-2010.
