The NORCAL MLS ALLIANCE is a groundbreaking MLS Data integration project involving the 7 leading MLSs in Northern California. Launched on January 20, 2021, CCAR MLS users are now able to access the data from multiple MLSs within Paragon.

How does the NORCAL MLS ALLIANCE work?
There are three different MLS systems that serve the seven MLSs in the NORCAL MLS ALLIANCE : Rapattoni, Paragon (Black Knight), and Matrix (CoreLogic). Each MLS has thousands of agents using their system. The NORCAL MLS ALLIANCE is set up so that each of the three systems has access to all of the data in their data base. Agents can access the larger set of data without changing to a different and unfamiliar system.
What are the advantages to CCAR members?
The NORCAL MLS ALLIANCE is a major step towards eliminating multiple places to go for data and providing Brokers and Agents with a single place to get it.
a. This is the ONLY place where you can get all the listings and historical data in 22 Northern California counties while continuing to utilize the MLS technology of your home system. This allows you to concentrate on your business, without having to learn a new system for expanded data-access.
b. Reduce the number of data feeds (including IDX) that you need to receive to run your business saving you both time and money.
c. Reduced costs and programming for your vendors who receive data today from multiple sources to serve your business needs. In addition, receiving a single data-feed will eliminate issues related to duplicate listings and inaccurate data-reporting.
d. Eliminates the need for dual entry of listings into Multiple Systems saving time and money.
