New Technology for Mason, Oceana, Manistee Counties

The Mason Oceana, Manistee Board of Realtors (MOM Board) announced last week that they will be joining into a data sharing agreement with The Southwestern Michigan Regional Information Center (SWMRIC). This is a group of 7 real estate boards extending from an area North of Grand Rapids all the way along The Lake Michigan shoreline to the Indiana border. This is an important step forward for property owners and potential buyers in Mason Oceana and Manistee Counties. The current system used by the MOM Board is quite outdated and does not provide very broad distribution of information on properties in that area.

Homewaters, L.L.C. is one of only a handful of companies that receives a data feed into our website from The MOM Board which allows our website users to view all the available properties for sale in Mason Oceana and Manistee Counties. The new feed coming from SWMRIC will provide listing information for every property in Southwestern Michigan from participating brokers. This means much more information available on our site and an expansion of our service area! For our sellers, it means every Realtor in any one of the other 7 boards of real estate will now receive the data about their property for sale when conducting searches for potential buyers. This should go a long way to driving more buyers to that area and increasing demand. The change is to take place on or around February 1, 2009, so check in early next year if you've been looking for property near The Lake Michigan shoreline in Central and Southern Michigan.
