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.
