Turn Your Data Into Member Empowerment: Key Takeaways from the RE Technology Webinar

MLSs have never had more data available. But access alone isn’t what creates value for members.

In our recent RE Technology webinar, industry leaders explored how MLSs can turn property data into clear, actionable insight that helps agents work smarter and serve clients with confidence.

Watch the full webinar recording below:

The conversation featured Wendy Alley (Baldwin REALTORS®), Adam Pope (Georgia MLS), Marilyn Wilson (WAV Group), and Sara Cooper (CRS Data) sharing real-world examples of how MLSs are using public records and property intelligence to strengthen member value.

Moving Beyond Data Access

Agents don’t need more dashboards or more places to search.

What they need is curated insight they can use immediately—whether that’s for a listing presentation, a CMA, or answering a client’s market question.

MLSs that combine listing data with comprehensive public records can deliver a more complete view of the property and the surrounding market.

Why Localization Matters

Real estate is local, and MLS tools should reflect that reality.

During the webinar, panelists discussed how MLSs are customizing reports, fields, and data overlays to reflect the specific needs of their markets. From neighborhood boundaries to locally relevant data points, these customizations help agents access information in ways that align with how they actually work.

Strengthening Agent Confidence

Public records and parcel-level data can significantly improve how agents present market information to clients.

By incorporating additional sources—such as off-MLS sales, tax records, and historical property data—agents can build more complete CMAs and market insights, strengthening trust and credibility with their clients.

Helping Members Turn Data Into Business

Another key takeaway was the opportunity MLSs have to help members translate data into real business growth.

Prospecting tools, investor insights, and neighborhood trend reports can all be generated from the data MLSs already provide. When paired with training and education, these capabilities help agents uncover opportunities without relying on additional paid tools.
