Path two: CONNECT+
Professional Infrastructure for Modern Brokerages
Connect+ is a professional-grade Mainstreet subscription for brokerages operating outside the REALTOR® framework that still want strong MLS access, business infrastructure, education, market connectivity and operational support.
Your office made a business decision. Connect+ ensures that decision doesn’t cost you your professional foundation.
Who This is For?
Real Estate Professionals.
Built for serious real estate professionals operating under evolving brokerage models.
Your office may have chosen a different operating structure. That doesn’t change the importance of professional support, education, operational infrastructure or MLS access. Mainstreet built the Connect+ subscription to ensure you keep all of that — without the REALTOR® designation, its protections and its requirements.
That choice makes you someone Mainstreet wants in the room.
Mainstreet built Connect+ to serve you. It comes with full MRED MLS access, full PLN access, member services, group health insurance - affordable guaranteed-issue and access to every Mainstreet networking event. We ask one thing in return: that you sign and uphold the Mainstreet Code of Conduct.
REALTOR® membership remains the gold standard and we're not asking you to think otherwise. Connect+ is built so that whichever way your office's affiliation goes, your day-to-day business doesn't break.
built for the way you work
CONNECT+ is a professional grade subscription for every real estate professional.

The Standard
Same Market. Same Professionalism.
Same Mainstreet Support
Connect+ members operate with access to the same professional infrastructure, education, operational support and evolving market-intelligence ecosystem that powers the broader Mainstreet platform.
"We respect each other and our community. We do what's right because it's the right thing to do." — The Mainstreet Code of Conduct, in spirit.
And if your office's path ever changes — if rejoining the REALTOR® framework starts to feel right — Mainstreet has a streamlined upgrade pathway with setup fees waived. No pressure. No timeline. The door's always open.
Connect+ subscribers get the full tool kit
Some associations sell non-REALTOR® licensees a stripped-down membership and call it inclusion. Mainstreet didn't. The Connect+ subscription comes with full MRED MLS access, full PLN access and exclusive new tools our REALTOR® members will get.
Same tools, same data, same community.
Different path. Same Mainstreet.
