MLSListings, Inc. Signs Three-Year Contract for Black Knight's Paragon MLS Platform

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The MLS division of Black Knight Financial Services (NYSE: BKFS) announced today that MLSListings, Inc., the premier MLS service for Northern California, has signed a three-year agreement to use Black Knight's Paragon MLS platform.

The deal signals a new era of platform choice for brokers and agents in Northern California. MLS platform choice supports MLSListings' vision of placing the control of MLS data accessibility in the hands of the subscriber.

Paragon is a dynamic software platform that helps real estate professionals more easily manage their businesses. MLSListings subscribers will have access to Paragon's new Client Connect portal, where real estate agents and their clients can collaborate online in real-time, during the home buying and selling process. Paragon's intuitive navigation, compatibility with both Mac and PC browsers and multi-tasking functionality increase efficiency for busy real estate professionals. Its mobile-optimized platform offers MLS members of all experience levels an easy, helpful solution to accessing and organizing listings data.

MLSListings is one of a few MLSs nationwide with the technical acumen to create broker and agent solutions to enhance platform performance. The implementation of Paragon at MLSListings will leverage the MLSListings Database and Listing Input module, which MLSListings powers in its Aculist product suite, while adding a new, modern MLS system architecture. 

Black Knight's MLS division delivers smooth, high-quality Paragon conversions, attention to detail and dedicated support managers for each account, including agent support available 80 hours per week, including weekends.

"At MLSListings, our goal is to build bridges, not borders, for real estate professionals. We are proud to bring brokers and agents the opportunity to work in the platform of their choice, and to expand their footprints in the marketplace with Black Knight's Paragon system," said MLSListings President and CEO James Harrison. "Paragon offers intuitive workflows and a platform for listing exclusivity, distribution and branding. The result of adding the Paragon system is a limitless market of robust data and alternative systems for enhanced client service for brokers and agents." 

For the past four years, Black Knight's Paragon MLS system has ranked first in the annual Clareity Consulting MLS Customer Satisfaction Survey, and was recently installed for MLS organizations in numerous new markets.

"We are honored to expand capabilities and resources for MLSListings subscribers to help them manage and grow their businesses," said Black Knight Data & Analytics Vice President and Real Estate Market Leader Chip McAvoy. "We share MLSListings' commitment to providing system-of-choice capabilities and look forward to demonstrating our exceptional support to its members."
