Guided by their Always Principles and their commitment to innovation in organized real estate, Stellar MLS, the largest MLS in Florida and Puerto Rico, has announced its highly anticipated investment in REdistribute. REdistribute is a new company that will provide up-to-date MLS data directly from the source to those who license it and return revenues to brokers.

“Stellar MLS is investing in REdistribute because of the value it offers to brokers who create the database that serves buyers and sellers. This watershed endeavor will shift the financial gains and downstream benefits of housing data back into the hands of those who own it – our brokers,” commented Stellar MLS CEO, Merri Jo Cowen.

Stellar is partnering with CRMLS, Bright MLS, and other counterparts in this progressive industry response and solution. As an ownership partner, Stellar MLS is eager to support the launch of REdistribute in 2023. This venture will deliver clean data to the real estate industry, provide data for risk management, valuation models, and other related purposes, and generate data licensing revenue for participating brokers and MLS organizations.

The partnership with REdistribute follows Stellar’s recent tech investments and industry collaborations with forward-thinking organizations, including Finding Homes, Skyslope, MoxiWorks, and FMLS. To learn more about Redistribute, read its open letter to the RE industry.
