The Palm Springs Association of Realtors Board of Directors is meeting Tuesday, October 1st, to discuss the issues with FLEXMLS. The attached petition is to drop the PSRAR's agreement with FLEXMLS and to go back to THEMLS.
Below are a few reasons we feel this should be done immediately:
1. While FLEXMLS is rich with features they say, it is extremely difficult to navigate.
2. The reports, for example the CMA, is not clean and simple for consumers to understand. The detail reports for agent use are inadequate.
3. The roll out and training provided by FLEXMLS was substandard and minimal compared to the rollout and conversation to THEMLS.
4. FLEXMLS appears to antiquated visually, is not user friendly and is too complicated for most non-technical people to use.
5. THEMLS is much more user friendly.
6. We are realtors and not computer programmers and don't have the time it takes to use the FLEXMLS in the manner to which we were using THEMLS.
7. An MLS system is suppose to enhance the services provided to it's users and their clients, the FLEXMLS system since rollout has done neither.
It's time to get back to work representing our buyers and sellers instead of spending hours attempting to navigate the difficult to use FLEXMLS.

It is a nightmare to navigate and the fact that there are 59 videos to help one figure it out tells you a lot! This is the most difficult program I have ever used. I would like to return to Rappatoni MLS.
My big issue is the output - both reports and digital, including client reports and especially CMAs, are terrible. I’m technically adept, but my skills are useless with the Flex platform. And I understand it may be more expensive to go back to theMLS. It would be worth it.
I don't like how the reports and the CMA looks, too difficult to create too. Very user unfriendly. I've had to call 3 times a day to ask how to do different things. Previous sold listings still not showing up. What the H.... this is the worst system I have ever worked on.
While fixes to the many issues are being implemented the system will remain incredibly cumbersome and not nearly as efficient or professional as TheMLS. Our businesses (as does the existence of the local RE Assoc) depend on a highly functioning and professional MLS. FlexMLS is neither these.
Aside from the non user-friendly aspects of the new system, the look of the reports are antiquated. Simple one step activites on The MLS are multiple step actions on Flex. Time consuming and cumbersome.
Please bring the old format back. It is very disappointing that a new platform would have so many inadequacies.
FLEX is dysfunctional and I have caught mistakes. I have also caught one of the agents in a lie. I have documented a history of date, times and names of FLEX tech to whom I have spoken and How long it took to resolve the issue. FLEX is an abomination that has been forced upon us.

I have belonged to five (5) different MLS systems including Rapattoni (remember them fellow PSRAR members?), THEMLS and FLEX. I find the FLEX system cumbersome, difficult to learn, and NOT user friendly at all. I hope the board considers this request to quickly take us back to THEMLS.
