Dusty Jostes Expanded partnership delivers a streamlined listing input experience that reduces duplicate entry, improves efficiency and strengthens data consistency for members
FARGO, ND [March 11, 2026] – BeachesMLS and FBS have announced the launch of a new single-point listing entry solution, marking an expansion of their long-standing partnership and delivering a unified listing input experience designed to make listing entry faster, simpler and more consistent for MLS members, while standardizing data.
The new system standardizes listing workflows across platforms, delivering consistent, high-quality data no matter where it is entered. By standardizing fields, BeachesMLS is reducing manual corrections, minimizing rework and improving data consistency at the point of entry. Together with FBS’s Spark® Platform and Datamart, the unified approach is a major step forward in modernizing both member-facing tools and internal operations.
For members, the benefits are immediate and practical. The unified listing input experience reduces time spent navigating forms, speeds up data entry and increases data accuracy. The upcoming addition of Auto Assistant and Auto Assistant+ features will allow members to prepopulate most listing information automatically by pulling data from public records, geocode data, AI-detected features and previous listing history. This capability provides a significant head start with listing input, all while retaining the essential step of allowing members to review and confirm all data before publishing.
“This launch reflects our commitment to leading the MLS industry through innovation that truly serves our members. At BeachesMLS, we’re constantly looking for ways to enhance the listing experience, reduce friction and elevate data quality,” says CEO of BeachesMLS Dionna Hall. “By unifying listing input into a single, streamlined system, we’re empowering our members to work more efficiently while ensuring the accuracy and consistency that today’s consumers expect. When we improve the member experience, we ultimately strengthen the service they provide to buyers and sellers across our marketplace.”
Developed through close collaboration, the expanded partnership between BeachesMLS and FBS will focus on providing a solution that reflects real-world agent workflows. Using the flexibility of Flexmls and the standards-driven Spark API Platform, FBS delivered enhancements, including improved field organization, conditional logic that simplifies the process of adding a listing, expanded listing history, comp-only listings and a new audit trail that provides transparency and accountability throughout the listing lifecycle.
The single-point listing entry also gives members greater flexibility in how they choose to work. Agents can input listings from a mobile device or desktop environment, selecting the workflow that best fits their business, while the MLS maintains consistent data standards across the system. This balance of flexibility and control helps brokers and agents work more efficiently without sacrificing accuracy or compliance.
By consolidating listing input into one system, BeachesMLS is also strengthening its ability to maintain a database that more closely aligns with RESO data standards. Cleaner, more consistent data not only reduces downstream corrections and discrepancies, but also creates a stronger foundation for emerging AI applications and advanced analytics that depend on accurate, structured MLS data.
FBS CEO, Michael Wurzer, said “BeachesMLS’ leadership saw the need to unify and control their data to better serve their members, which is more critical than ever with AI creating new opportunities every day. Flexmls and the Spark API were built for this age of agentic AI and we look forward to partnering with BeachesMLS for years to make the market work for their members.”
This launch reinforces the expanded partnership between BeachesMLS and FBS and underscores a shared commitment to delivering scalable, member-focused MLS technology that evolves alongside the needs of the marketplace.
Single-point listing entry is now available for BeachesMLS members.
