Our members now have the necessary tools to succeed in this endeavor."
MLSOK members can access more rental listings, a mobile-friendly application and tenant screening tool including a listing-specific application link with all the relevant details filled in, a robust search engine, a custom-branded landing page with rental listings, and education to master the rental market. The innovative suite of tools empowers real estate professionals to make rentals a regular part of their business.
