CHS MLS Membership is more than MLS
Flexmls is the core platform for MLS and we work hard with leadership and with the Flexmls provider company, FBS Data, to ensure it meets your needs. However, at no additional cost to you, membership includes many other platforms that we work to bundle together to offer the industry's best resources.
Log in to your MLS Single Sign-On (SSO) launchpad to find all of the products listed.
Tools
It all starts with
the SSO Launchpad
Another product at no additional cost is the Clareity Security Single Sign-on (SSO) Dashboard from CoreLogic.
This technology allows you to log in with only one set of credentials, but access all tools.
Imagine if you had to log in to each of these products individually, in different tabs!
Training
We're offering three options of training for you. Join us in Orangeburg for on-site training over two days, with several sessions each day, in early October, hop on a live webinar, or view our collection of help videos at your leisure.
Live Classes in Orangeburg
We're coming to you! Early October, we'll host several classes per day, for two days and invite you join us for one or all - whatever works for you.
Registration is not yet open for these courses, but we'll email you soon with details!
Live Webinars
Get started early! CHS MLS frequently hosts live webinars throughout the year. You're invited to these regularly scheduled webinars, as well as PMLS-member specific options that we've added to welcome you to the new system.
Registration will open for these very soon!
On-demand Training Videos
FBS Data, the provider of the Flexmls platform that we use, has a wealth of recorded webinars and produced training/help videos. They range from short snippets on one item, to a full-length walk through of 90 minutes.
You'll have access to these once you get your CHS MLS login (closer to October).

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What will happen to my data in Palmetto MLS?
Your listing data will be moved over to the new system, FlexMLS. Saved searches and contacts will not automatically transfer over, but staff will make it very easy for you to create the new (and much more functional) auto-emails in FlexMLS!
What are the next steps in the transition?
We will have much more information coming to you each week about this transition. Keep an eye out for emails with resources building as we move forward. We aim to make this a seamless and simple transition! As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to CHS MLS staff with questions at Support@CHSMLS.com - we’re happy to help.
Is there an app?
Yes! FBS Data, the provider of the Flexmls platform, has a wonderful app called Flexmls Pro available for iOS and Android. Read more about the app here.
What about billing and access fees?
CHS MLS bills quarterly to the MLS Participant (BIC). Fees per licensed user are $130, and $30 for an unlicensed user. Our office setup fee is already waived for any office coming onboard from PMLS. Read more info about our memberships at our joining page here.
What if I'm a commercial practitioner?
CHS MLS is a residential-only database but there is good news! We operate alongside the South Carolina Commercial MLS (SCCMLS), an advanced database exclusively for commercial data! We are working to integrate your commercial listing data there. If you would like to join for commercial access, SCCMLS quarterly user fees are $180 for a licensed user and $30 for an unlicensed user. Learn more at SCCommercialMLS.com.
What if I have an admin or assistant?
We are happy to say that Flexmls has a rich feature set for these users! We are working to build the accesses in based on the data we see in PMLS. Once we launch, we will reach out to confirm your settings and make any necessary adjustments. Admin users can do everything that the main user (or office) can do. Learn more about the administrator options available to you here.
