AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Realtor.com® today announced the public debut of Realtor.com®+™, (pronounced “plus”), a collaborative home search platform built in collaboration with MLSs that helps real estate professionals and consumers connect, collaborate and close with confidence. Designed to elevate the search experience and strengthen MLS and professional value, Realtor.com®+™ sets a new standard for transparency, insights and agent-client collaboration.
The platform is now live for all 20,000-plus subscribers of Canopy MLS in Charlotte, N.C., with 16 total MLSs markets going live in the coming weeks and months. Live and signed agreements represent over 122,000 real estate professionals.
Realtor.com®+™ launches at a pivotal moment, when open marketplace and agent-first solutions are more critical than ever. It’s the largest multi‑MLS, co‑branded portal collaboration of its kind since the inception of online MLS data‑sharing agreements – proving portals can innovate at scale while keeping MLSs and professionals at the heart of the real estate ecosystem.
“Realtor.com® was born from the partnership between the National Association of Realtors® and MLSs, and for three decades we’ve championed an open marketplace that delivers transparency and meaningful value to consumers and professionals,” said Damian Eales, CEO of Realtor.com®. “Realtor.com®+™ modernizes that legacy by putting more powerful tools into more agents’ hands than any product in our history, keeping professionals at the center of the transaction, and giving MLSs the valuable AI-driven capabilities and member tools they need to lead the industry forward. But this isn’t just another tool – it’s a step forward in strengthening the marketplace, empowering MLSs and agents, and enhancing the search experience for consumers.”
Realtor.com®+™ delivers meaningful value across the ecosystem – for participating MLSs and their subscribers and clients:
- Seamless integration into MLS ecosystems – Provides powerful, cutting-edge tools and data insights directly through workflows professionals already use.
- Intuitive search and collaboration in a mobile-first tool – Enables professionals to search with MLS filters, share listings and chat with clients, and auto-plan tour routes – all in one mobile and desktop-friendly platform.
- Strong brand continuity – A protected search experience that maintains prominent agent, brokerage and MLS branding across every page, with no competing lead forms – reinforcing professional visibility and building consumer trust.
- Deep client insights to empower decisions – Gives agents real-time visibility into clients’ search activity and preferences, along with local market intelligence reports.
- A collaborative, transparent consumer experience – Delivers buyers and sellers a guided, low friction path from first click to close, with real-time chat and a painless, direct connection to collaborate with their agent at every stage.
A Platform Designed with MLSs for Agents and Consumers
Realtor.com®+™ was developed in close collaboration with MLSs nationwide and reinforces their essential role as the backbone of organized real estate. The platform supports MLS data accuracy and attribution; strengthens MLS, brokerage and agent branding; and is able to integrate directly into existing MLS systems to meet agents where they are.
It incorporates advanced agent-client collaborative capabilities leveraging Zenlist technology – a trusted industry solution recently acquired by Realtor.com® and already in use by leading MLSs, top brokerages and another 35,000 agents nationwide. Realtor.com®+ was rigorously tested by agents and brokers and is designed to support every stage of a consumer’s search journey, delivering a seamless, transparent experience from first click to close. Realtor.com®+ is provided through participating MLSs and is accessible via app, desktop and directly through the agent’s MLS dashboard.
Realtor.com®+™ is now live for all 21,000 of Canopy MLS’ subscribers.
“Realtor.com®+™ is arriving at exactly the right moment for our industry,” said Anne Marie DeCatsye, CEO of Canopy Realtor® Association and Canopy MLS. “As other players move toward closed ecosystems that don’t always serve the best interests of agents, brokerages or MLSs, Realtor.com® has taken a different path, one that champions openness, collaboration and professional empowerment. They’re the only portal that doesn’t operate as a brokerage, and that matters. By integrating directly into the MLS and delivering tools designed for our subscribers – not in competition with them – Realtor.com®+ strengthens our members, supports their clients, and reinforces the value of the MLS. We’re proud to join forces with a company that truly shares our commitment to an open, transparent marketplace.”
