However, under no circumstances is any individual or firm, regardless membership status, entitled to Wyoming Multiple Listing Service "membership" or "participation" unless they hold a current, valid real estate broker's license in the State of Wyoming and is capable of accepting and offering compensation to and from other Participants or is licensed or certified by an appropriate state regulatory agency to engage in the appraisal of real property.

Use of information developed by or published by the Wyoming Multiple Listing Service s strictly limited to the activities authorized under a Participant's licensure(s) or certification and unauthorized uses are prohibited. Further, none of the foregoing is intended to convey "participation" or "membership" or any right of access to information developed by or published by the Wyoming Multiple Listing Service where access to such information is prohibited by law.

The REALTOR principal of any firm, partnership, corporation, or the branch office manager designated by said firm, partnership, or corporation as the “Participant” shall have all rights, benefits, and privileges of the Service, and shall accept all obligations to the Service for the Participant's firm, partnership, or corporation, and for compliance with the bylaws and rules and regulations of the Service by all persons affiliated with the Participant who utilize the service.

** MLS-Only Participant: Any REALTOR® (principal) or any firm comprised of REALTOR® (principals) who are member(s) of a Board other than the Casper Board of REALTORS. MLS Participatory rights shall be granted according to the following: “As cited in Part One: Key Definitions, Section 2. Definition of MLS Participant of the current NAR Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy: Under the “Board of Choice” policy, MLS participatory rights shall be available to any REALTOR® (principal) or any firm comprised of REALTOR® (principals) irrespective of where they hold primary membership subject only to their agreement to abide by any MLS rules or regulations; agreement to arbitrate disputes with other Participants; and payment of any MLS dues, fees, and charges. Participatory rights granted under Board of Choice do not confer voting privileges or eligibility for office as an MLS committee member, officer, or director.

The universal access to service component of Board of Choice is to be interpreted as requiring that MLS Participatory rights be available to REALTOR® principals, or to firms comprised of REALTOR® principals, irrespective of where primary or secondary membership is held. This does not preclude an MLS for assessing REALTORS® not holding primary or secondary membership locally fees, dues, or charges that exceed those or alternatively, that are less than those charged Participants holding such memberships locally or additional fees to offset actual expenses incurred in providing MLS services such as courier charges, long distance phone charges, etc., or for charging any Participant specific fees for optional additional services.

Any applicant for MLS Participation and any licensee affiliated with an MLS Participant, can waive orientation only by signing a waiver agreeing the Participant takes full responsibility to ensure applicant is given training on the MLS Rules and Regulations and computer training related to MLS information entry and retrieval and the operation of the MLS.

Internet Data eXchange

IDX or Internet Data Exchange is essentially rules and enabling technologies allowing MLS participants to give each other permission to display each others’ listings on their web sites; each participant giving this permission also receives reciprocal permission from other participants. Only the listings of participants who have opted-in to IDX can be displayed on other participants’ sites. Display is subject to the rules of the MLS(s).

IDX began with a policy from the National Association of REALTORS designed to allow brokers to post local MLS data framed within their own websites.

The purpose of IDX is to enable Participants with Internet sites to attract and maintain first contact with their customers. There are many benefits to IDX for both Participants and consumers according to the National Association of REALTORS. Explained functionally, IDX allows Participants to build a website with the ability to search MLS approved listings of all other Participants who consent to share the information. IDX does not refer to listings on Realtor.com. These aggregated sites list properties from thousands of MLS’s and will continue to feature all active MLS listings.

DOING IDX: From a Participant’s perspective, there are two levels of “doing” IDX:

Level 1: Only including listings in the “pool” of listings that all participating firms can display on their websites

Level 2: Actually displaying other participants’ listings on his/her own website.

A participant can choose to do Level 1 but not do Level 2. That is, the participant can permit other participants to display his/her listings, even if he/she does not have a website of his/her own. The converse is not true: a participant that withholds his/her listings from the “pool” is not permitted to display the listings of other participants. Once a Participant chooses how they will “do” IDX, they will need to choose how to implement it on their website.

Agents (Non-principal brokers and sales licensees) affiliated with IDX Participants may display information available through IDX on their own personal Web sites subject to their participant’s consent and control.

Here are the two options the Wyoming MLS provides:

CHOOSE on the following:

Option 1: The Wyoming MLS provides its members with an IDX Smart Framing Solution in Paragon at no additional cost to the member.

Option 2: Have a third party computer consultant build the IDX site.

ACTIONS to take after choosing Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: Participant’s or Agents who wish to use the “Paragon IDX Smart Framing” option provided by the Wyoming MLS, must follow the instructions in the “Paragon 3 IDX Smart Framing Subscriber’s Guide”. This can be obtained from the Wyoming MLS.

Option 2: Participants or Agents who have a third party computer consultant build their IDX site, must complete the “Participant Request for IDX Display on Participant/Sales Licensee Websites” and the third party computer consultant must complete the “License Agreement” and return to the Wyoming MLS. The Wyoming MLS will contact the third party computer consultant to set up the data exports.

The Participant or Agent is responsible for all costs incurred from the third party computer consultant. There is no fee from the Wyoming MLS to provide the ftp or RETS data feed.
