What exactly is an International Multiple Listing Service (IMLS)? An International MLS is a database which allows real estate brokers as well as people from all corners of the World to widely share information about properties with real estate brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property.
At RTV, INC, we have over the last eleven years literally created the World's largest International MLS system ever imagined. Our virtual tour providers (1900 virtual tour providers in 33 countries) continually upload and publish virtual tours to our virtual tour server facility in Dallas, TX. Present day with nearly 50 thousand active listings in our system at any given time we are gearing up to make our virtual tours searchable by the public creating the World's largest International MLS system out there.
What makes our International MLS system different from an average MLS system? Please allow us to explain this to you in very simple terms.
MLS combines the listings of all available properties that are represented by brokers who are both members of that MLS system and of NAR or CREA, (the National Association of Realtors in the US or the Canadian Real Estate Association).
Our International MLS system will not be limited to just showcasing virtual tours in the United States and Canada but will allow for all virtual tours that are being published in our system to be queried.
The purpose of our International MLS initiative is to enable the efficient distribution of information so that, when a real estate agent is introduced to a potential home buyer, may search the RTV International MLS system and retrieve information about all homes for sale in a given area or price range, whether under a listing contract by that agent's brokerage or by all participating brokers.

The economic changes seem to be effecting everyone I know, but the good news is that my Denver Virtual Tour and Architectural photography company, Denver Image Productions is off and running with great successes!
I started my virtual tour business just a few months ago after being laid off myself from a International Real Estate company that was not able to keep on the staff due to the poor economy and lack of sales. After much thought and consideration on whether to stay in real estate or not, I decided to do the next best thing…stay in real estate in a different avenue and also something that I really love – architectural photography and virtual tours.
After a LOT of research and discovery, I found Real Tour Vision. The reason I chose RTV was that I recognized the advantage of owning your own virtual tour company vs simply working for one such as the Obeo or Circlepix business model is. Although, I may have had a smaller startup and would have been busier in the beginning of this process, the benefits of owning my own company, making my own rules, setting my own pricing far outweigh any benefits of working for someone. The key with RTV's business model is that you have be business savvy and intelligent to make it work not to mention be confident in yourself. These are all qualities that I have and finally I really enjoy exploring my own territories and working with clients that I can build a good repore and lasting relationship with.
I’ve found in my discoveries over the last few months that Realtors and commercial businesses understand the value with online e-marketing and Virtual Tours. We are not creating something new, so talking to folks about the product is easy. What RTV provides that so many other companies don't offer is many additional great property marketing tools. It's these additional features that makes attracting new clients easy and fun. I am getting busier and busier and am expanding to new companies everyday. I look forward to seeing how big I can grow Denver Image Productions over the next year.

Regular non International MLS systems are governed by private entities, and the rules are set by those entities with no state or federal oversight, beyond any individual state rules regarding real estate. MLS systems set their own rules for membership, access, and sharing of information, but are subject to nationwide rules laid down by NAR. Our International MLS requires only that you order a virtual tour from an RTV virtual tour provider and that RTV provider publishes your virtual tour to our system.
An MLS may be owned and operated by a real estate company, a county or regional real estate Board of Realtors or Association of Realtors, or by a trade association but in the case of the RTV International MLS system this is owned by all who decide to order a virtual tour. Membership for the RTV International MLS is non existent and you will find that to be inserted into our national portal you need only to order a virtual tour from one of our many hundreds of full service providers around the World.
Most MLS systems restrict membership and access to real estate brokers (and their agents) who are appropriately licensed by the state (or province) however our International MLS system is open to anyone with an Internet connection.
If you are a person selling his/her own property - acting as a For Sale By Owner (or FSBO) you will still be able to take advantage of our Open MLS system.
As a final note please note that RTV is the top virtual tour company that produces only the finest virtual tour software and a comprehensive virtual tour business marketing system. You will be happy to know that RTV is currently being used by nearly 100,000 realtors who are getting service from our vast network of full service virtual tour providers.
We have truly created an International MLS with the sheer size of our network and the volume of virtual tours being produced. Our international virtual tour company creates a cost effective and affordable 360 virtual tour system that creates the highest quality virtual tours allowing real estate professionals to showcase MLS home listings, MLS property listings and MLS real estate listings online.
Our virtual tours help home buyers decide whether they are interested in physically viewing the MLS home listing. This saves the real estate agent a lot of time by narrowing down the available listings to those properties which generated an interest through the virtual tour.
