Not to forget the all-important MLS; Big Rapids Realty agents belong, and submit listings to, our local area's West Central Board, SWMRIC and the MRA - 9 Reciprocal MLS's that cover most of Northern Michigan (these include the Cadillac and Mt. Pleasant area MLS systems).

Big Rapids Realty is, by far, the most technologically advanced company in the area! Every agent has a workstation on their desk and can access e-mail and the MLS instantly at a customer's request. Our computer system features a new Dell network server (the server allows individual work-stations to all connect to the network so agents can access the internet/shared files/forms and the MLS among other benefits.). Our network connects to the web thru a continuous high speed DSL connection.
