About Michigan Regional Information Center
The Michigan Regional Information Center (MichRIC) is west Michigan's shared MLS database, owned and operated by its member REALTOR associations. Michigan Regional Information Center IDX puts that inventory on an agent's own website, from Grand Rapids four-squares to South Haven cottages.
MichRIC in brief:
- A partnership of 14 member association MLSs sharing one database
- Began as the Southwest Michigan Regional Information Center (SWMRIC) and took the MichRIC name as its map grew
- Based in Kalamazoo and run on the Flexmls platform
- Members range from Grand Rapids' Greater Regional Alliance of REALTORS to the Kalamazoo and lakeshore boards
Fourteen boards, one login: a Holland agent's website can answer a Grand Rapids search without a second membership.
Coverage area
Michigan Regional Information Center serves agents and brokers across:
- Michigan - the west and southwest of the Lower Peninsula
From the lakeshore inland:
- Grand Rapids and Kent County, with Ottawa, Ionia, and Barry counties around it
- The lakeshore: Muskegon, Holland, South Haven, and north to Ludington
- Kalamazoo and Portage, with Battle Creek eastward
- The southwest corner: St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, and Niles toward the Indiana line
- Inland: Allegan, Big Rapids, and Canadian Lakes
Lansing, metro Detroit, and the north country each run their own systems, covered on their own pages. For west Michigan, MichRIC is the feed.
