In our commitment to providing the best possible service and knowledge to our members, SWMLS team members pursue continuing education and other opportunities for growth.  Both SWMLS Coordinators, Heather Price and newly hired Josiah Pratt have completed leading designations in the MLS industry.

Heather and Josiah have completed the Working with Real Estate Data Business Module (RED-B) designation hosted by the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO). This designation has been completed by just 633 MLS leaders in the industry. RESO’s RED-B course is the industry’s primer for understanding how data flows through the industry. The Business Module is the first section, designed for both nontechnical and technical professionals. It covers the organizations, rules, processes, and technology systems that create the real estate data ecosystem.

They have also completed CMLX1, a designation provided by the Council of Multiple Listing Services. The purpose of the CMLX program is to produce certified MLS management specialists. CMLX1 recognizes professional competencies in MLS management skills and industry knowledge. It is both a mark of commitment for skill and knowledge acquisition and an important core competency benchmark within the MLS industry. To date, only 656 MLS professionals have completed this designation.

Regardless of who you may reach when contacting the SWMLS Help Desk, be assured that you are in the capable hands of industry leaders who have proven their knowledge and competency through these designations. We will continue to pursue opportunities for growth on the national stage to deliver a world-class customer experience to our members.
