We have decided to retire Bridge Listing Input.
Bridge Listing Input will be retired from our active MLS markets on August 9, 2022. On this date, Bridge Listing Input will cease to function.
We are announcing this decision now to give you ample time to begin transitioning your listing input workflows back to your MLS platform’s native add/edit tool. Bridge Listing Input has always been a supplement to existing MLS Add/Edit features. Your existing platform’s Add/Edit functionality is still available to you.
Please ensure that all of your listings created in BLI have been successfully published to your MLS. While you may continue to use BLI until it is retired, we recommend using your MLS platform for new listings and edits going forward.
Thank you. For over a decade, Bridge has been at the forefront of innovation in the development of cutting-edge listing input technology. We are especially grateful for the long-time support of our broker, agent, and MLS partners. As we refocus our development efforts on building new data distribution options for data consumers and the industry, we look forward to continuing to serve our customers in new and exciting ways.
