what3words divides the world into 57 trillion squares, each measuring 10 feet by 10 feet. Each square has a unique, randomly assigned 3-word address. For example, ///fires.rested.amused is the what3words address for a 10-foot square at the entrance to the Empire State Building. Anyone can enter these three words into the free what3words app and tap “Navigate” to get directions with their favorite navigation app.

If a listing is difficult to find, a My State MLS member can simply type the address into what3words, receive the what3words 3-word address for the exact meeting point and then share it with their client. The client can then input the 3-word address into the what3words app and easily navigate to the exact viewing location from a navigation app. Members and clients can arrive hassle-free and ready to enjoy their viewing.

“At My State MLS, we are always looking for ways to help our members become even more successful,” said Dawn Pfaff, founder and president of My State MLS. “By adopting the what3words app, we are helping our members solve a lot of direction problems. There’s nothing more frustrating than a potential purchaser getting lost because street addresses aren’t accurate enough, and missing out on viewings or arriving stressed.”
