SANTA ANA, Calif., Mar. 5, 2009 – MarketLinx, Inc., a leading provider of information technology to the residential real estate industry, today announced that the REALTOR® Associations of Buffalo Niagara, Greater Syracuse and Greater Rochester have chosen its popular MLXchange platform to power a consolidated multiple listing service (MLS) for Upstate New York.

The three associations, which together have formed the New York State Alliance of MLSs (NYSAMLS), selected MLXchange to provide their 8,000 members with a superior MLS experience and eliminate the inconvenience and inefficiency of maintaining three separate systems. While collaborating on their core MLS and tax systems, the three associations will continue to operate as independent organizations in other regards and offer their own distinct products and services.

“We’re honored to be chosen for this important project,” said Bryan Foreman, Executive Vice President of MarketLinx and President of MLS Solutions. “Everyone at MarketLinx has worked hard to earn the trust and partnership of NYSAMLS. We’re proud to be part of a solution that removes barriers to business and makes REALTORS’® jobs easier in these challenging times.”

“For several years, brokers and agents throughout Upstate New York have asked for a single MLS to share listing data across the state,” said Lynnore Fetyko, CEO of the Greater Syracuse Association of REALTORS®. “Thanks to MarketLinx and the determined leadership of the Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester associations, we will finally have what our brokers and agents have been asking for.”

“This is a great day for REALTORS® in Upstate New York,” said John Leonardi, CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Association of REALTORS®. “We have been working toward a combined system for more than four years, and I look forward to working with everyone as we roll out the system in 2009.”
