Houston Association of Realtors, Repliers form data access partnership

Toronto-based Repliers has entered into a strategic partnership with HAR.com — the multiple listing service (MLS) platform operated by the Houston Association of Realtors — to provide real-time access to MLS data and expanded analytics tools for subscribers.

Under the agreement, Repliers will serve as the exclusive platform for licensing and distributing HAR.com’s MLS data through application programming interfaces (API), offering brokers agents and technology providers direct access to real-time listing information.

Repliers said its platform is designed to eliminate delays and technical complexity traditionally associated with MLS data feeds. The system allows users to access data on demand without building and maintaining their own data pipelines.

The platform is aimed at a range of users including brokerages developing search tools vendors building agent websites and technology teams launching new applications.

Integration of proprietary datasets

As part of the agreement, HAR.com will integrate additional proprietary datasets into the Repliers platform at no cost to subscribers.

These include HAR Stats, which tracks member pageviews and leads from the HAR.com consumer portal; ShowingSmart Stats, which provides real-time showing activity data; and Customer Experience Ratings, which offer verified agent performance insights.

Data will be accessible through Repliers’ API infrastructure — allowing subscribers to incorporate the information into their own systems and applications.

Repliers CEO Rhett Damon said the partnership reflects broader changes in how real estate data is managed and used.

“Shared infrastructure supports the majority of new use cases, and AI will empower a new generation of brokers, agents and vendors to innovate in ways we’ve never seen before,” he. “For HAR.com to embrace this reality and lean in with their proprietary data sets shows why they remain one of the most innovative MLSs in the country.”

Houston Association of Realtors President and CEO Rene Galvan said the partnership is intended to expand capabilities for subscribers while improving data access and security.

“This partnership reflects our philosophy of giving world-class services to our subscribers with valuable tools to build better and faster, while gaining new data insights and security features made possible by real-time data consumption through Repliers,” he said.
