Lundy Inc. and MIBOR Broker Listing Cooperative (MIBOR) announced a partnership that they said will transform how real estate technology companies access MLS data. MIBOR will authorize the Broker Public Portal’s RealAPI to fuel Lundy’s Finding Homes platform.
“This partnership lets us do what we do best — deliver natural, intuitive voice and AI tools for agents and consumers while relying on BPP’s Search-as-a-Service RealAPI to power the MLS data layer,” said Justin Lundy, CEO of Lundy. “What Dan Troup and his team at the Broker Public Portal have built for MLSs and brokers makes it possible to move faster, smarter, and with more confidence. It’s a shift that accelerates innovation across the entire industry.”
For decades, every technology vendor has been forced to replicate the same work: ingesting, storing, mapping and maintaining disparate MLS feeds into a common format across MLS markets. This approach wastes time, slows innovation, and diverts dollars away from building the features that agents and consumers actually need. As an MLS owner of the Broker Public Portal, MIBOR is leveraging the RealAPI so vendors like Lundy can focus entirely on their core competencies. This new connection complements MIBOR’s existing data distribution channels, offering another secure and efficient pathway for innovation.
“By enabling direct access through the RealAPI, we’re cutting out inefficiencies and ensuring our members see faster adoption of high-value features from vendors like Lundy, while continuing to support other trusted distribution partners like MLS Grid that keep our marketplace running efficiently”, says Shelley Specchio, MIBOR CEO.
The Broker Public Portal is already ingesting and maintaining the MIBOR data and normalizing it to a single format for Lundy that can be used for other MLS markets. Thanks to MIBOR, existing and future Lundy Finding Homes customers can feed the application from the RealAPI, saving time and data management costs. Other MLSs may authorize Finding Homes through the RealAPI and provision data in minutes.
“The Broker Public Portal is owned by MLSs and brokerages, and one of the key sovereign technologies available to our owners is the RealAPI from our BrokerData platform,” said Dan Troup, CEO of the Broker Public Portal. “For MIBOR, that means using RealAPI to deliver data as a service to Lundy, eliminating redundant engineering and replication while providing a better experience.”
