CRS Data: here to stay
Since 1989, CRS Data has worked to put powerful, accurate data at the fingertips of real estate agents. Simply put, they are dedicated to doing data better.
SCCMLS has utilized CRS Data integrations to bring you parcel data for years, and when we launch on FlexMLS, CRS Data will still be there for you (not everything changes, thank goodness).
You'll even find new integrations to make your life easier!
-
New auto filled data points to help you finish your listing input faster
-
New reports and links at your fingertips to quickly throw together additional data on a listing
-
Overlays in the system on map view to help you see a wide variety of data in a dynamic view

Why the Transition?
The change is driven by a desire to provide a more customizable, modern, and functional system based on your feedback, while maintaining the highest level of broker control over your data.
"After working with Catylist to navigate contractual changes, it was important to us to make sure brokers maintain utmost control over their data and so, the leadership team at SCCMLS determined that it is in our best interest to transition to a new platform. This move will help us maintain the high data security and accuracy standards that you expect from SCCMLS and ensure that our commercial MLS community continues to benefit from the connectivity we provide and the confidence in knowing we are focused on protecting not only your data but your business.”
2022 SCCMLS President, Chip Shealy

Frequently Asked Questions
What will happen to my data in Catylist?
Your listing data will be moved over to the new system, FlexMLS. Saved searches will not transfer over, but staff will make it very easy for you to create the new (and much more functional) auto-emails in FlexMLS!
What are the next steps in transition?
We will have much more information coming to you each week about this transition. Keep an eye out for your weekly SCCMLS email with resources building as we move forward. We aim to make this a seamless and simple transition! As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to SCCMLS staff with questions - we’re happy to help.

While FBS Data does provide the residential MLS platform as well, they are completely independent databases with very unique builds. The systems do not overlap in any way, and remain two separate companies, as well.
