1. What NorthstarMLS Brings to the Table

Since its inception, NorthstarMLS has revolutionized how real estate data is shared across the Upper Midwest. Operated by Regional MLS of Minnesota, Inc., NorthstarMLS serves over 22,000 real estate professionals with a unified database of live listings, historical sales information, and robust market analytics. For Modern Market REALTORS®, tapping into this resource means instant access to thousands of residential, commercial, and land properties throughout Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, and beyond. In an industry where seconds matter, our clients gain an early edge—viewing newly listed properties moments after they go live and receiving tailored alerts that match their exact criteria.

2. Unmatched Market Reach

NorthstarMLS’s footprint covers every corner of Minnesota—from the Twin Cities suburbs to rural lake country—and extends into Western Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. That breadth ensures Modern Market REALTORS® clients never miss an opportunity. Whether you’re scouting luxury townhomes in Edina, lakefront cottages on Lake Minnetonka, or starter homes in Moorhead, our MLS subscription guarantees comprehensive, up-to-date coverage. We leverage dynamic mapping tools to pinpoint neighborhoods by school districts, commute time, and amenity proximity—so buyers see only what matters most, and sellers enjoy visibility across the entire region.

3. Rigorous Data Integrity

One of NorthstarMLS’s core strengths is its strict data-entry rules and quality controls. Every participating broker adheres to a standardized set of guidelines—ensuring that square footage, room counts, lot dimensions, and property statuses are accurately represented. For buyers, that means fewer surprises at inspection; for sellers, it means our listings are showcased with crystal-clear details. Modern Market REALTORS® conducts bi-weekly data audits, cross-referencing MLS entries against public records and county tax data. When you list with us, you gain the peace of mind that your home’s information is fact-checked to the highest standard.

4. Cutting-Edge Technology & Tools

The NorthstarMLS platform offers a suite of modern, intuitive tools that streamline every step of the real estate journey. Our agents use:

• • Automated Market Reports (AMRs) delivering weekly neighborhood trends
• • Customizable Client Portals for real-time property updates
• • Mobile MLS App for on-the-go access to listings and showing feedback
• • Integrated CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) generators for precise pricing

These technologies allow Modern Market REALTORS® to craft data-driven strategies, ensuring sellers price for maximum returns and buyers spot value quickly.

5. Streamlined Agent Collaboration

In today’s fast-paced market, cooperation between listing agents and buyer’s agents can make or break a deal. NorthstarMLS fosters seamless collaboration by enabling direct “ShowingTime” scheduling, offer submission portals, and encrypted messaging within listings. Our team’s strong presence on the platform means we coordinate showings, gather feedback, and turn around counteroffers within hours—not days. As a result, Modern Market REALTORS® clients experience smoother negotiations and faster closings, eliminating the friction that can stall transactions.
