Deadline: MLS Committee Nominations – Oct. 30 – 5pm Time is running out to be considered for the MLS Committee for 2024. Nominations are Due Monday, October 30th at 5pm. Ever wonder why things happen in the MLS or think about serving on the MLS Committee and wonder how that’s done? The process to serve on this committee is different than any other. First, it’s an elected committee with a limited number of seats determined by a weighted formula based on the MLS’s number of agents, listings, solds and offices. The number of seats available can change each year based on this formula or elected members whose term ends. This number can sometimes also change as a result of members simply changing offices and then perhaps no longer representing the group from which they were elected. You can find more details on the election process here. Interested in Running? Follow these steps to throw your hat in the ring:
Your bio and resume will be presented to the MLS Nominating Committee who are selected at the Annual Business Meeting. The five selected Brokers that serve on the Nominating Committee, as well as the current MLS Committee Chair and the President Elect, meet in November to select candidates. A ballot is created for the annual election where only brokers vote. Members who wish to volunteer their time to serve are very much in demand by the Nominating Committee and always appreciated. Questions? Review the information linked to the main Columbus REALTORS® site or you can contact Matt Warren at (614) 475-4000 or email mlselections@columbusrealtors.com

The field name was changed to allow for additional items that should be “considered” prior to showings. The intent is the same: to inform agents prior to showing a property.
