My State MLS Adopts Innovative, Free Location App what3words, Helping Members Obtain Accurate Directions to Hard-to-Find Properties for Viewings

JUPITER, Fla., June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- My State MLS recently adopted what3words, a free app that makes it easier to guide users to an exact location. Millions of people around the world use the app to find and share precise locations. what3words enables My State MLS members to easily navigate to hard-to-find properties without hassle.

Examples of how what3words can help MyState MLS members include:

• Vacant land salespeople can easily direct other agents to a property that does not have a street address.
• Agents working with city properties that may have multiple or confusing addresses can direct potential buyers to the correct entrance with minimal frustration.
• In situations where parking is separate from the actual property (such as apartments), it's easy to specify precisely where parking is located.

what3words divides the world into 57 trillion squares, each measuring 10 feet by 10 feet. Each square has a unique, randomly assigned 3-word address. For example, ///fires.rested.amused is the what3words address for a 10-foot square an entrance to the Empire State Building. Anyone can enter these three words into the free what3words app and tap "Navigate" to get directions with their favorite navigation app.

If a listing is difficult to find, a My State MLS member can simply type the address into what3words, receive the what3words 3-word address for the exact meeting point and then share it with their client. The client can then input the 3-word address into the what3words app and easily navigate to the exact viewing location from a navigation app. Members and clients can arrive hassle-free and ready to enjoy their viewing.

"By adopting the what3words app, we are helping our members solve a lot of direction problems.
