On behalf of the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB), we would like to apologize for the disruption you experienced yesterday with regard to your access of ORTIS listing data.
A configuration error in the user class for Appraiser Access Subscriber was discovered, thus allowing you to have access to the ORTIS listing data using RAHB’s Matrix System. RAHB is obligated to uphold the reciprocal terms of our data sharing agreement with ORTIS, which does not allow Appraiser Access Subscribers to have access to their data unless they have subscribed directly with an ORTIS Association / Board.
At the beginning of 2017 a communication was sent to all members providing an update on the RAHB – ORTIS Data Sharing Agreement. Within this communication access changes affecting all access subscriber members were outlined:
“ORTIS also advised that as of Wednesday, February 1, 2017, Access Members of RAHB (that is, users with computer access only) will no longer have login access to the regional Matrix system, and listings interboarded to RAHB’s MLS® System will no longer be forwarded to the regional system.”

Full communication from January 11, 2017
ORTIS and RAHB have agreed that access will be restored until May 24, 2019, to allow you time to make an Appraiser Access Subscriber application with one of the ORTIS Associations / Boards.
Below is a list of the ORTIS Associations / Boards with their contact information for you to arrange an Appraiser Access Subscriber Application. Please note, you are only required to apply to one of the ORTIS Associations / Boards in order to have access to all of the ORTIS listing data. For RAHB’s Data Listing Information you will still require membership with RAHB.
