<\/a><\/a>\nThe initiative addresses a longstanding structural challenge in residential real estate: fragmented listing data entry across multiple MLS systems, and the resulting inefficiencies in how information is maintained, updated, and shared.<\/p>
\nHomeServices of America currently operates across more than 250 MLS relationships nationwide, where listing content is typically entered into local systems before being redistributed. BLX will invert that model, establishing a controlled, brokerage-level environment for listing entry while preserving MLSs as a foundational component of the broader ecosystem.<\/p>
\nAt the operational level, that means a single point of entry for HomeServices brokerages \u2013 allowing agents and administrative teams to input property data once and distribute it across MLSs, consumer platforms, and other approved destinations. The platform is designed to improve consistency, reduce duplication, and strengthen data integrity, while maintaining full compliance with MLS rules and standards.<\/p>
\n\u201cControl and stewardship of listing data is becoming increasingly important in today\u2019s market,\u201d said Chris Kelly, CEO of HomeServices of America. \u201cBLX allows us to modernize how that data is entered and distributed, improve consistency and quality, and give agents and clients greater clarity and flexibility. Importantly, this is not about bypassing MLSs\u2026it\u2019s about improving the way data moves through the system while strengthening its integrity at the source.\u201d<\/p>
\nThe BLX platform is furthermore intended to integrate with existing workflows, allowing agents to continue entering listing data in a familiar way, with minimal disruption or additional training required.<\/p>
\nFrom a data and infrastructure standpoint, the initiative also reflects the capabilities of Cotality, which is a leading provider of property data, analytics, and technology solutions used across the residential real estate industry. Formerly known as CoreLogic, the company rebranded in 2025 as Cotality to reflect its expanded focus on delivering integrated data solutions across the property lifecycle.<\/p>
\n\"We are honored to partner with HomeServices of America to bring the transformative Cotality Broker Listing ExchangeTM<\/sup> solution to their world-class network,\u201d said Pat Dodd, CEO of Cotality. \u201cThis collaboration is about more than technology; it is about empowering agents and simplifying the listing process at its source. Together, we\u2019re creating a more transparent experience that benefits the entire real estate ecosystem, from our MLS partners to the home buyers and sellers who rely on the expertise of their agents.\"<\/p> \nBeyond operational efficiency, BLX is expected to enable more real-time insights into pricing trends, market dynamics, and listing performance, providing agents and clients with enhanced decision-making tools.<\/p> \n\u201cOur MLS partners remain central to how the industry functions, and that will not change,\u201d said Lacey Conway, SVP of HomeServices of America. \u201cBLX is about streamlining the entry and flow of listing data so it is more consistent and more usable across platforms. We believe that benefits everyone in the ecosystem \u2013 from brokerages and MLSs to agents and ultimately consumers.\u201d<\/p> \nThe initial rollout of BLX is expected to begin in the next 3-6 months, with broader expansion planned in coordination with MLS partners nationwide.<\/p> \nABOUT HOMESERVICES OF AMERICA<\/b><\/p> \nHomeServices of America is, through its operating companies, the country's preeminent provider of homeownership services, including brokerage, mortgage, franchising, title, insurance and relocation services.
