COMPREHENSIVE

ITSO is collaborating with the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® to operate the ITSO system for the benefit of all users. ITSO’s Matrix™ system, which the number one industry standard for listing information about properties, includes over 500 unique fields across all property types. With over 100 of those fields being mandatory, ITSO’s System ensures that REALTORS® have the information they need to prepare for showings, to prepare CMAs, and to advise their clients. With an integrated CMA tool, Restbi.ai, land registry data, neighbourhood information, Authentisign with Transaction Desk, AnswerLink support, and market statistics, the ITSO MLS® System enables REALTORS® to access all the information and tools they need in one comprehensive, stable, and reliable environment.

CHOICE

ITSO’s listing system is designed to allow REALTORS® choice. Supporting REALTORS® in making the best decisions for themselves is pro-competitive, good for their businesses, and ensures that clients are provided the best service and data. ITSO’s Member Associations are able choose if they want to enforce the Professional Standards Policy and Arbitration Policy at their association or delegate enforcement of the policies to ITSO. Member Associations also have their choice of showing facilitation software integrated into the system including BrokerBay and ShowingTime.

SECURITY & STABILITY

ITSO’s listing system is a reliable and stable system with zero downtime over the past four years allowing REALTORS® to do what they do best – serve their clients. REALTORS® and Member Associations can have confidence in the security of the data through use of the secure Clareity Assure authentication system. Clareity Assure uses adaptive authentication with built-in artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify suspicious activity and selectively deploys multi-factor authentication when a login risk level exceeds an acceptable risk threshold. This system offers one of the newest and most advanced ways to deter unauthorized users, bots and deceptive login attempts in real time. By preserving the integrity of the listing system and data, Clareity Assure protects real estate professionals and their clients.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

ITSO provides professional standards services on behalf of associations. While an MLS® System involves technology, it also ensures a certain level of accuracy of information, professionalism, and cooperation amongst REALTORS® - this is the human element of the system that ITSO values. ITSO has a regional professional standards and arbitration framework that ensures users of the ITSO MLS® System are held accountable for their conduct. The ITSO Arbitration Policy ensures that commission disputes will be resolved quickly and amicably, while the Professional Standards Policy ensures there is consistent enforcement of the MLS® Rules and requires users of the ITSO MLS® System to adhere to higher standards than the regulator.
