Data-Sharing: The Power of Collaboration
Stellar MLS and FMLS Agree to Data Sharing Agreement, Benefiting over 134,000 Brokers and Agents
Stellar MLS serves nearly 77,000 customers in Florida and Puerto Rico, while FMLS provides services to more than 57,000 members and partners in Georgia and across the state line in Alabama.
The agreement provides local brokers and agents with direct access, in real-time, to reliable listing data from each other’s markets. In addition, both MLSs are natively Platinum Certified on RESO listing data standards, making a partnership like this much easier to implement and maintain.
“We’re constantly looking for ways to give our customers an additional advantage in the market, and the opening of new markets provides new sources of revenue. Throughout the pandemic, and hopefully post-pandemic, we’re seeing much more movement in Florida and the Southeast in general, as more and more people can work where they want. This provides our customers with an even larger market to serve buyers and sellers across the region.”
—Merri Jo Cowen, CEO Stellar MLS
"This agreement aligns two of the most progressive MLSs in the US in a way that seamlessly integrates inventory and geography. Our footprint extends throughout Georgia and Alabama, while Stellar MLS covers a large footprint in central Florida and is also rapidly growing. This creates enormous referral opportunities and a dynamic marketing opportunity for brokers, agents, and partners of both organizations."
