At the International MLS Forum held in Milan, Italy, industry leaders gathered to discuss their innovative journeys and the future of MLS.
Igluu began its MLS journey by forming a strategic partnership with a large European bank, enabling it to offer a comprehensive MLS experience through the integration of proptech and fintech. Initially facing challenges in understanding local market dynamics, Igluu’s leadership team made the pivotal decision to acquire a local software company to bolster their brokerage core system. This strategic move allowed for seamless integration with MLS, enhancing the experience for brokers and clients alike. Carlos, reflecting on this catalyst, stated, "We needed to create a system that integrates all of the stakeholders into the transaction."
Igluu’s innovative approach included the establishment of dual channels of brokerage interest and bank partnership, which provided Igluu with a broad customer base. This alliance not only allowed Igluu to offer a holistic MLS experience but also facilitated revenue generation across the entire transaction lifecycle. Looking ahead, Martin plans to continue integrating additional elements of the fintech/proptech value chain into Igluu's consumer experience, making it more comprehensive and user-friendly.
In his advice to markets looking to launch MLS, Carlos emphasized the need for open-mindedness and adaptability to future changes. "Be open-minded. What worked in the past might not work in the future. Change is coming, and this time it is a tidal wave," he advised. Igluu’s story is a testament to the power of strategic partnerships and adaptability in pioneering MLS in new markets.
