Los Angeles, CA. (March 20, 2015)--The International MLS [IMLS]™ announces that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties has become The First USA Limited Charter Member.

According to The IMLS CEO/Founder and California broker Dr. Daniel Nussbaum, "We are proud to say that we have now added a premier company and brand in real estate as a global broker member and have added Dan Forsman to The IMLS Advisory Board. All of the company's listings will be displayed on The IMLS and available all IMLS searches performed globally. Agents will also be able to get the framed IMLS solution with more than 1,000,000 listings in 60 countries and 80 languages for their own website, allowing the agent to capture all leads from these online consumers. We are delighted that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties can see the strategic competitive advantages of becoming an IMLS member and what it can provide for their agents and clients."

The International MLS was created by brokers, for brokers, and all of their agents. Membership is available from only $39 a year, so agents from all over the world can affordably become members of The IMLS and participate in this global cooperative.

"We are always looking for new ways to create value for our associates and their clients," said Dan Forsman, president & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. "The International MLS is a powerful solution to address the growing opportunity to expose our properties to consumers across the world. The robust multi-language search provides an option for multi-cultural consumers to search in over 80 languages. We also see great potential in referrals from global network members. Our agents are excited and we look forward to working together to bring new solutions to our team."

The IMLS also satisfies the growing concerns about the direction of the real estate industry as of late by making certain core ethical promises. The IMLS will never advertise other agents on a personal member's listing page, and if a consumer is interested in a property, only that listing agent will receive the lead. The company wanted to create a platform where "For Sale By Owner" listings are not accepted, putting the real estate market back in the hands of true professionals.
