Dusty Jostes FARGO, ND [February 24th, 2026] – FBS, the trusted MLS software and technology authority, has announced a new partnership to bring Flexmls to the 13,000 subscribers of ROAM MLS, a statewide Multiple Listing Service serving real estate professionals across Louisiana. Through this partnership, ROAM MLS will leverage the Flexmls® Platform to advance its mission of delivering consolidated, statewide MLS services powered by the flexible, people-first technology FBS has built to help MLS organizations and their members thrive.
Formed through the collective efforts of Louisiana REALTOR® associations, ROAM MLS was built to remove barriers created by fragmented systems and regional boundaries. Its statewide approach provides participants with broader market exposure, consolidated governance, and a single set of MLS rules designed to support consistent data integrity and cooperation across markets.
The Flexmls Platform will support ROAM MLS participants with a secure, highly configurable MLS experience that adapts to local workflows while maintaining national standards. Designed with flexibility at both the MLS and user level, Flexmls empowers organizations to align technology with their governance, business rules, and member needs.
“Our newly established partnership with FBS will provide our members with an MLS platform that preserves many of the features and familiarity of their current native system while offering access to updated technology. This decision eliminates the need for duplicative add-ons, consolidates data into a single source, and provides our members with the opportunity for greater cost savings,” said Rhonda Reap-Curiel, ROAM MLS President.
FBS brings decades of MLS-focused experience and a people-first approach that puts MLS staff, leadership, and subscribers at the center of every decision. As a 100% employee-owned company, FBS is deeply committed to helping MLSs maintain ownership and control of their data, backed by innovative technology and the kind of service that keeps their partners coming back.
“ROAM MLS is unifying real estate data across Louisiana around a single, modern, flexible platform that dramatically reduces listing input time by automatically populating trusted property and media sources creating consistent and accurate data,” noted Matty Epstein, Director of MLS Sales at FBS. “FBS is proud to partner and execute on their vision for a more efficient, cooperative, and subscriber-driven MLS using Flexmls.”
