The Future of the MLS

The real estate landscape is evolving fast—and so is the role of the MLS. In this forward-looking session, industry leaders will explore how MLS platforms are adapting to meet the demands of today’s agents, brokerages, and consumers. From data transparency and tech integration to AI tools, policy shifts, and the future of cooperation and compensation, this panel will unpack what’s next for the MLS and how it can better serve professionals across the market. Learn how these innovations are not just about keeping pace, but about creating new value, strengthening professionalism, and empowering REALTORS® in an increasingly competitive environment.
