“Progressive MLSs are currently looking to deploy revenue generating, innovative programs, such as listing syndication, that deliver significant value for their members. In fact, we find that the drive for syndication services is largely due to member interest and a critical need to advertise listings wherever buyers may choose to do their research online,” said Scott. “We’re pleased to be able to offer the largest syndication network in the industry and we’re proud of our close association and exceptional relations with our MLS clients and our syndication partner network companies.”
Scott was appointed COO of Point2, in February of 2009. Prior, he held the company’s chief technology officer post.
