PropTx Transition: To-Do Lists for All LSTAR Members

As we gear up for the transition to the PropTx MLS® platform, it is crucial to ensure that all LSTAR Members are ready for the official cutover from the ITSO MLS® System to the PropTx Platform, which will take place on April 10, 2024. To streamline this process and make sure that everyone is set for success, we've developed a few comprehensive checklists.
