MRED and NoCoast MLS have announced a new partnership that will expand access to MLS technology, data and market opportunities for real estate professionals in Iowa.

Created by Iowa REALTORS®, NoCoast MLS serves approximately 1,300 real estate professionals through five participating REALTOR® associations: the Central Iowa Board of REALTORS®, North Central Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS®, Southeast Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS®, West Central Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS® and the REALTORS® Land Institute of Iowa.

Under the agreement, NoCoast MLS will operate as a “Powered By” MRED MLS while retaining the NoCoast MLS brand and its complete historical listing data.

MRED currently powers 16 REALTOR® associations and provides members with MLS technology, data and customer support services. Its MLS infrastructure supports more than $43 billion in residential and commercial real estate transactions annually.

“Our partnership with MRED will allow us to continually enhance the quality of MLS services we deliver to our customers,” said Les Sulgrove, NoCoast MLS director. “Our customers will benefit from MRED’s scale, advanced technology, exceptional support, expanded listing exposure and lead generation opportunities, deep industry expertise and strategic leadership as one of the most customer-centric MLS organizations in the country.”

NoCoast MLS members will be able to choose from several core MLS systems while maintaining access to their historical listing data. They will also gain access to MRED’s broader technology platform, customer service, data quality programs and in-person and online training resources.

In addition to their existing Iowa data, subscribers will gain access to more agents and listings through MRED’s marketplace, creating additional opportunities for referrals.

“NoCoast MLS has made a significant investment in strengthening the experience it delivers to its customers, and we are proud to help them take that work even further,” said MRED President and CEO Rebecca Jensen. “This partnership allows us to bring the strength of MRED’s technology, data, training and customer service infrastructure to NoCoast and ensure its members experience continuity, greater resources and broader market access.”
