Stellar MLS has taken another step to help its subscribers stand out with clients. The organization announced it is expanding its partnership with Rayse, a real estate technology platform designed to help agents clearly demonstrate their value throughout the transaction. Starting this month, every Stellar MLS subscriber will gain access to Rayse at no additional cost.

A new way to highlight what agents do

Rayse gives clients a real-time look into the work their agents are doing behind the scenes. From responding to inquiries and previewing properties to running market analysis and negotiating terms, the system tracks activities and translates them into a transparent, client-friendly view. Instead of asking clients to take their word for it, agents can now show the time and effort they put into each transaction.

Stellar MLS CEO Merri Jo Cowen explained the importance of the new benefit:

“Our mission is to empower agents and brokers with tools that drive trust, clarity, and confidence in every transaction they lead. Rayse makes transparency simple by visualizing agent activity—showings, negotiations, market analysis, and closing milestones. Clients can see the hours of expertise invested per transaction, not just generalizations. By including Rayse in every Stellar MLS subscription, we’re helping our customers strengthen client relationships and differentiate themselves in the market.”

What consumers want most: trust and transparency

Consumer expectations for real estate professionals are changing. According to a Rayse survey of 200 recent sellers, 89% said they would have paid their agent more if they had access to a tool that showed the work happening behind the scenes.

That insight highlights an industry-wide challenge: agents need a better way to prove their value.

As James Dwiggins, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Rayse, put it, “Today’s consumers expect transparency, and Rayse delivers it in real time. We’re thrilled to partner with Stellar MLS to help agents build trust and loyalty by showing the work they do behind the scenes every step of the way.”

How the platform works

Rayse provides three core tools that make it easy for agents to show their impact:

  • Buyer and seller presentations – turn an initial consultation into a structured journey that clearly communicates an agent’s role and value.
  • Client portal – keep clients informed with offer comparisons, showing feedback, and timely updates, without overwhelming them.
  • Closing report – document negotiation wins, strategic decisions, and milestones in one easy-to-read summary that makes an agent’s contribution undeniable.

Why this matters

The Stellar MLS and Rayse partnership is a win-win. Agents and brokers gain a trusted way to quantify their expertise, while consumers receive the transparency and reassurance they want in one of life’s most important financial decisions.

By making Rayse a standard part of every subscription, Stellar MLS is reinforcing its role as a forward-thinking MLS: one that equips its members with tools to protect their value, strengthen client trust, and keep pace with a market that demands more accountability.
