Transition to Perchwell equips more than 3,000 local real estate professionals with advanced tools for collaboration, market analysis, and client service.

ROBERTSDALE, Ala., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Baldwin REALTORS^® MLS has officially completed its transition to Perchwell, a next-generation Multiple Listing Service (MLS) platform that provides local real estate professionals with modern technology designed to better serve buyers and sellers throughout Baldwin County.

The transition marks the most significant technology upgrade in the history of Baldwin MLS, replacing its previous MLS platform with a modern system that combines property search, listing management, client collaboration, and market analytics into one intuitive experience.

“Technology continues to transform the real estate industry, and it’s important that our MLS members have access to tools that help them deliver the highest level of service,” said Francine Carstensen, 2026 Baldwin MLS President. “Perchwell provides a modern platform that allows our members to work more efficiently, communicate more effectively with clients, and make informed decisions using real-time market data.”

Over the past several months, Baldwin MLS implemented Perchwell through a phased rollout that included extensive training opportunities, brokerage onboarding sessions, webinars, office hours, and support resources to ensure members were prepared for the transition.

The technology behind the MLS has changed, but our purpose remains to best serve REALTORS® and their clients.

For consumers, the transition means their REALTOR^® now has access to enhanced technology that supports faster communication, more powerful property searches, improved collaboration, and deeper market insights throughout the home buying and selling process. By streamlining many of the day-to-day tasks REALTORS^® perform, Perchwell allows members to spend more time focused on their business.

“We are excited to place this much needed platform in the hands of our members,” said Wendy Alley, Baldwin MLS Executive Officer. “The Perchwell team has been incredibly easy to work with throughout this process and consistently receptive to feedback from our staff and members. Their willingness to listen, adapt, and collaborate helped make the transition a better experience for everyone involved. Completing this transition positions Baldwin REALTORS^® members  with the fastest and most accurate market statistics available, ultimately benefiting consumers throughout Baldwin County.”

Brendan Fairbanks, Founder and CEO of Perchwell, summed up Perchwell’s role in two commitments. “To Baldwin’s agents, our promise is to offer an MLS platform that helps you move quickly and gets out of your way. Research that used to take an afternoon should take minutes, so you can focus on what matters most, whether you’re helping families navigate one of the biggest buying decisions of their lives in Fairhope, or finding the best investment opportunity in Gulf Shores” said Fairbanks. “To Baldwin MLS, our promise is to keep showing up. Working with Wendy Alley and her team has been one of the true joys of this project, and the best ‘thank you’ we can offer is to continue evolving the platform so Baldwin REALTORS^® can best support their members every single week.”

Baldwin MLS serves more than 3,000 real estate professionals across Baldwin County and remains committed to providing the technology, education, and support necessary to foster a strong and innovative real estate marketplace.
