"Despite finding areas where the organizations strongly aligned, leaders also recognized the structural and governance hurdles they would be required to overcome to move forward, ultimately deciding that these changes did not currently support the creation of a single new entity."
"Both RESO and CMLS remain deeply committed to advancing a strong and collaborative real estate ecosystem. We will continue our long-standing partnership, working together where our missions align to strengthen data standards, support MLS organizations and promote innovation across the marketplace."
"The conversations and work leaders undertook during this process were valuable, as they highlighted the individual strengths of the organizations and they reinforced the importance of intentional governance, clear mission alignment and thoughtful stewardship of industry institutions."
RESO and CMLS conducted extensive dialogue over the past year to explore potential merger opportunities, examining how advocacy, standards, and industry leadership could be integrated. While both organizations identified significant areas of alignment, they ultimately determined that structural and governance challenges made consolidation impractical at this time. The evaluation process proved valuable, clarifying each organization's individual strengths and reinforcing the importance of proper governance, mission clarity, and institutional stewardship. Both organizations remain committed to their collaborative partnership, focusing on shared objectives including strengthening data standards, supporting MLS organizations, and fostering marketplace innovation. They plan to continue working together where missions align while maintaining their separate identities.
