These options are for those who are working with a vendor or have in-house development resources for custom development using data from the MLS.

Firm Internal Use (MLS Wide Broker Back Office)

• A three-party agreement between the Broker, Vendor, and Stellar MLS.
• Since a Firm Internal Use application contains fields that are not intended for public display, your application must reside behind a login and be non-accessible to the public or clients.
• The data is not to be shared or for public consumption, is subject to periodic data audits, and must abide by Stellar MLS's Rules & Regulations.
• Ability to demonstrate a fully working application/product. If you are still in development, please let us know in the questionnaire and we can provide a sample data set.

Distribute Your MLS Listings to Third Party Websites

The choice to distribute listings is 100% up to the broker. For brokers who want to publish their listings on third-party websites, there are several direct distribution options offered through your Stellar MLS subscription at no additional cost. We also partner with ListHub as a distribution option.

Listing Distribution Per Listing in Matrix

Within Matrix during listing input, there are choices for distribution of your listing to MLS-owned consumer website (PuertoRicoRealtorsMLS.com), Realtor.com, Homes.com, Homesnap, Zillow Rentals, and International MLS. This option provides the flexibility for you to accommodate the owner’s request to choose exactly where they want the listing displayed.

Note: Opting into these distribution options within Matrix at the listing level are available only if the broker of an office has permitted distribution.
