Every home has a story. Some begin with excitement, others with uncertainty. But for each person searching for a place to belong, there’s one constant: the hope that they’ll be treated fairly, guided honestly, and given a real chance to own a piece of their future. That’s where you come in. As a real estate professional, you’re more than a market expert. You’re an advocate. You’re the steady voice in a process that can feel overwhelming. You may not see it every day, but your role is essential in the ongoing movement to advance fair and equitable housing for all. April is Fair Housing Month, and it marks more than a moment in history. It’s a reminder that equity, access, and opportunity should be foundational to every real estate transaction. It’s a chance to reflect on what still needs to change and recognize the role you play in driving that change forward. Fair Housing Is More Than a Law. It’s a Promise. The Fair Housing Act, passed in 1968, laid a foundation to protect people from discrimination in housing. But laws alone don’t build equity. People do. You do. Fair housing is about ensuring that every buyer and renter, no matter their background, income level, race, gender identity, or ability, has access to a fair and transparent housing process. It’s about removing barriers, challenging bias, and expanding what’s possible for the communities you serve. Those values aren’t abstract. They show up in your conversations, your listings, and your care. And when you choose to lead with fairness, you help turn that promise into reality. You Have a Partner in This Work At Stellar MLS, we believe fairness in real estate begins with access to clear, accurate, and open information. We are committed to making the market work for everyone, and that starts with the tools and protections we provide. When you list a property in Stellar MLS, you create access. When you follow our compliance standards, you protect trust. When you use the data we maintain, you bring clarity to your customers’ biggest decisions. Our job is to support your mission. That’s why we offer over 30+ tools and services that are included with your MLS subscription. That’s why our customer service team is bilingual, local, and available six days a week. That’s why our entire organization is grounded in a simple belief: we succeed when you do. And it’s also why you have access to tools like Down Payment Resource (DPR) , a product designed to connect eligible buyers with the financial assistance they need to overcome one of the most common barriers to homeownership: the down payment. DPR is just one of the many powerful resources included in your Stellar MLS subscription—solutions that help you meet customers where they are and guide them toward what’s possible. By integrating DPR into your listings and customer conversations, you’re opening the door wider for individuals and families who may not realize help is available. These tools do more than enhance your service. They help you live out the mission of fair housing by making homeownership possible for more people in more communities. Because fairness is not just a policy. It’s a partnership that only succeeds when we all recognize its importance. Real Estate Can Be Isolating. But You Are Never Alone. This industry asks a lot of you. Some days feel like a sprint. Others, like an uphill climb. In between the showing schedules and negotiations, you are expected to guide, educate, advocate, and inspire. We see and admire that - know that we’re here to support you. When you work with Stellar, you are backed by a partner who understands your challenges and believes in your ability to meet them. You’re not just using a service. You’re part of a community built on shared values, shared responsibility, and a shared belief in doing the right thing. Let’s Keep Pushing Forward, Together Fair housing isn’t a one-time pledge; it requires daily work and diligence. And every listing you write, every customer you advise, every moment you choose integrity over convenience, you are helping to shape a fairer, more inclusive housing market. So, this April, we’re not just celebrating the anniversary of an act. We’re celebrating you. The change-maker. The truth-teller. The advocate for equity. Thank you for the work you do. For the lives you touch. And for standing firm in a fast-changing industry. At Stellar MLS, we are proud to stand with you. We’re for you.

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. (April 2, 2025) – Universal Consulting Opportunities (UCO), a subsidiary of Stellar MLS, was invited to join nearly 1,000 real estate professionals from across India to provide expert guidance on introducing the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) model as part of a prestigious conference hosted by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) India. “NARVIGATE 2025,” held March 21-22 in Delhi, brought together influential industry leaders, top government officials and global experts to reshape the future of real estate, business, policy, and innovation. Under the theme “Navigating Change, Inspiring Growth,” the convention offered a powerful platform for thought-provoking discussions, high-level networking, and bold, transformative ideas. The event, now in its 17th year, was co-hosted by the Association of Property Professionals (APP), Delhi NCR. The UCO leadership team was honored by the invitation to participate in the conference. They played a key role in educating and inspiring NAR India and its members—from headlining press conferences to leading dynamic panel discussions on unlocking MLS opportunities, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, and elevating personal branding. UCO also delivered live MLS demonstrations, and its leadership was spotlighted in exclusive media interviews, showcasing their expertise and forward-thinking approach. “UCO is among the world’s leading MLS consultants and solution providers, and their presence at NARVIGATE 2025—India’s most prestigious real estate convention—marks a significant milestone in NAR India’s journey towards MLS adoption,” said Tarun Bhatia, Vice Chairman and Chair-Global, NAR India. “Their insightful participation across multiple panels and a dedicated breakout session played a pivotal role in advancing one of NAR India’s most important initiatives.” “We are delighted to bring our expertise and experience to key decision-makers in India’s real estate markets, and take important steps toward creating an efficient, interconnected marketplace that bridges the gap between national and international real estate professionals,” said Shayne Fairley, COO of UCO and Stellar MLS. Marion Weiler, VP of Global Markets for UCO and Stellar MLS VP of Marketing and Communications, and Sam DeBord, CEO of the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO), were featured on an international real estate panel titled “The Global Real Estate Exchange–Unlocking Opportunities with MLS” that explored how the MLS enhances trust and transparency, as well as collaboration in cross-border transactions. Key takeaways from the panel included emphasis on the high level of trust and standardization within the MLS and ultimately the collaboration that drives success through connections with global partnerships and real estate professionals. “The MLS plays a key role in fostering trust, transparency, and efficiency in real estate markets worldwide. Through open data standards and global collaboration, we can unlock new opportunities for professionals and consumers alike. It was an honor to be invited by UCO to this event and demonstrate how the MLS model and data standards are shaping the future of international real estate,” said DeBord. The conference marked significant progress in UCO’s international initiatives, further solidified by the company’s strategic partnership with NAR India to enhance real estate practices across the country. Last fall, UCO signed an agreement with NAR India focusing on the transformative impact of implementing a successful MLS in the Indian market and beyond. https://www.stellarmls.com/universal-consulting-opportunities-uco-a-stellar-mls-subsidiary-signs-agreement-with-nar-india-as-advisor-to-develop-a-national-mls “This milestone event was a pivotal moment in our journey with NAR India. It provided an opportunity to deepen our understanding, assess our impact in India, and gather valuable insights to develop a tailored solution that meets the country’s unique needs. UCO is honored and proud to contribute to shaping the future of the vast opportunities within Indian real estate,” said Dr. Mathew Kallumadil, VP of Global Markets for UCO and Stellar MLS VP of Technology and Innovation.

A family searching for their next chapter. An investor finding the right opportunity. And behind every story, an agent or broker is working hard to make it happen. Why Connection Matters More Than Ever Real estate is constantly evolving. Markets shift. Technology advances. Customer expectations change. But one thing remains the same: people need people . Buyers and sellers rely on their real estate professionals for expertise, guidance, and reassurance in uncertain moments. And real estate professionals rely on their MLS to empower them with the tools, insights, and network to serve their customers well. At Stellar MLS, we stand for clarity, stability, and support . Because when you have the right connections, you have the power to turn dreams into reality.
