Canopy MLS
Formerly known as Carolina Multiple Listing Service, Canopy MLS is headquartered in Charlotte, NC and has been serving North Carolina agents since 1950. With nearly 17,000 subscribers, CMLS covers many major North Carolina cities including Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill, Asheville, and Wilmington.

Information about the areas covered by Canopy MLS
CMLS covers the Charlotte area, much of the North Carolina mountains, and now, with the PRMLS acquisition, it covers many counties in the northern region of South Carolina. There are three Metropolitan Statistical Areas that CMLS covers: Charlotte metropolitan area, Asheville metropolitan area, and the triangle. Charlotte holds the largest population at 2,737,636, making it the 15th-most populous city in the U.S. The area’s highest point is Mount Mitchell at 6,684ft, and its lowest point is the Atlantic Ocean.
Charlotte is nicknamed “Metrolina” because of its dense population and wide variety of attraction offerings. The metropolis is home to many corporate headquarters and is the second largest banking center in the U.S. The Raleigh area earns its “Research Triangle” nickname from the number of universities the city holds including Duke, UNC, and NC State. Between the major league teams in Charlotte and passionate rivalries between college teams in Raleigh, it’s no wonder sports fans are consistently attracted to the area. Asheville is in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is recognized for its vibrant arts scene. The Biltmore Estate displays historic artwork, and the downtown district is full of museums and galleries celebrating Asheville history.
The North Carolina climate is humid, with mild winters and hot summers. The mountainous regions are susceptible to heavy rainfall, and Mount Mitchell receives a winter average of about 50 inches of snowfall. The summer average temperatures rise to 90°F, while the winter average falls to around 50°F.
