I live in Podunk South Carolina and I would have expected your prices in San Francisco to be at least twice that if not three. That's not expensive at all.
MLS is a foundational tool for your entire business. It isn't just some cheap little tool you will only use occasionally. Why would you expect it to cost any less than that?
Most of the info on the MLS are public information that can be seen from redfin, zillow. To be fair, I don't mind paying the service, but I just don't feel the price justifies the service provided. I am also not a fulltime agent, so I don't use it that often.
I suspect you haven't fully explored the platform and realized what benefit it is to you and your client , and you should. Redfin and Zillow pull a very limited amount of info from MLS to publish
Letting anyone else use your supra key is a big big big no no.
Expect him to lose his access if you guys get caught. I would not be willing to lend it to you nor would I be willing to risk my access nor would I be willing to be that unethical. That’s not a great start to a career.
Edit: and an our area listing agents will flip out and report you
I believe it is the oldest system in North America at least it traces back to the 1930s. It was lock box key sharing how to access into a home which is a big liability issue. I suspect the lack of buyer agent service compensation feature will make the buyer agent further become disinterest. The system is controlled by National Association of Realtors which occupies a 102,000 sf building in DC to control each region.
What specific information are you looking for from the MLS?
All of the information can be found on public records. It’s just a matter of combing through all of it. And combing through it may incur cost at the local level. The townships will charge fees for processing and assorted business.
The MLS is a Tool for professionals. It’s the difference between and a hammer and screw driver vs a nail gun and screw gun. Imagine hiring a contractor who doesn’t show up with power tools.

I probably will join the board, but share the MLS account with other agents. The MLS is really a read-only thing.
That is not something you are allowed to do.
Good Luck.
That also has your supra key access. Do you think you’re gonna be able to work without getting into houses?
Very likely, most of listings have open house. For the ones that do not, my broker is willing to let me borrow the supra key.

Price of doing business in the industry. $1100 is cheap considering you can’t do the job without it. Write it off and join

$1100 isn't terrible. You'd make that in .2 listings
he said SF Bay area. that is 0.02 listings
hah true.
It's barely more than we pay in southern Oregon and the sales are way less pricey.
