Hi Dave,
I haven't built any ... but I've used quite a few. (A number of them
poorly built.) ;-)
There is no "MLS" ... or, I suppose to be more precise, there are a heck of
a lot of different MLS(s). The Canadien MLS is physically and
organizationally separate from the Arizona MLS which is separate from
(however the heck many of these there are here in) Texas.
You'll need to find the outfit that manages the local MLS you want access
to and work through their rates.
You will probably need your client's help to find them, or possibly a B2B
yellow pages.
Good Luck,
RonL.
(How 'bout reporting back what you find out? On or off list I'd still
be interested.)
