The New England Real Estate Network (NEREN), the nation's first primary multi-state MLS, is continuing its expansion into Massachusetts with the addition of a new shareholder owner. Greater Newburyport REALTORS has become NEREN's second shareholder in Massachusetts, joining 25 local REALTOR Associations in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. This partnership allows Greater Newburyport REALTORS to have representation and a voice at an MLS that accepts listings throughout all of New England and parts of New York.
Collaboration and Business Growth
Becoming a NEREN shareholder owner means collaboration and a partnership between NEREN and the Associations, offering access to a robust suite of business generation tools. In addition to the MLS software, Paragon, NEREN members benefit from a range of valuable resources, including Homesnap Pro, Remine Pro, CRS MLS Tax Suite, Homebot, Paragon "Mobile" Connect, Paragon Collaboration Center, and the all-new Paragon Affiliate Connect. Moreover, NEREN maintains two highly trafficked public-facing websites, NEREN.com and Commercial.NEREN.com, which provide additional free exposure for NEREN members, including a search tool for consumers to find an agent and free leads. These websites collectively receive over 30 million hits per year. NEREN offers free leads, free public records, and free training at one of the lowest fees in the country, currently priced at just $21 per month for REALTORS.
A Warm Welcome and Collaboration
Joe Ryan, NEREN CEO, warmly welcomes the new Shareholder Board and their REALTOR members, emphasizing the importance of their representation on the NEREN Board of Directors. Ryan also expresses a desire to explore similar possibilities with other Massachusetts REALTOR Boards. Betty McEnaney, the 2021 President of NEREN, takes pride in serving the unique and diverse needs of 25 Associations and their members. She assures Greater Newburyport REALTORS that NEREN will deliver the necessary tools, services, and support to generate significant business opportunities and help every NEREN member thrive in ever-changing and relevant ways.

Real estate agents, appraisers, assessors, auctioneers, and affiliates in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York can become NEREN members without needing a license in New Hampshire or Vermont.
