A conversation with ICE's Lucie Fortier and Jeff Fullbright reveals how AI is reshaping MLS platforms and what it means for data governance, agent adoption, and competitive positioning.
For international markets, it is not a distant opportunity, it is a new front already opening through the gateways built by globally minded MLSs.
Every wave of technology gives us a chance to rethink how we work. MCP is that wave.
NAR’s policy statement offers caution but avoids clarity. Until the association clearly defines what control means in the age of AI, it risks losing both the tree and the forest.
CoreHome doesn’t try to replace the agent. It amplifies them with better timing, better visibility, and tools that work with the way they already operate.
If MLSs provide a standardized, policy-compliant way for AI systems to query listing data (with proper guardrails), then any broker or authorized app can use it and we maintain a level playing field and oversight.
Real estate brokerages have always competed on reputation. For decades, word of mouth, Google reviews, and social media have shaped how consumers choose who to trust with their biggest financial transaction. But today, a new powerful influencer is entering that decision-making process — ChatGPT. Today, 59% of consumers said they’ve used at least one AI-powered platform to support their homebuying journey and get information about the real estate market, according to a new study from Veterans United Home Loans.
AI is more than just technology; it is an extension of organizational memory, judgment, and foresight, expressed through software.

If your team is deploying AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) without proper security, you're essentially leaving your business wide open to attack. A recent security assessment found that 43% of popular MCP implementations contain command injection flaws, 30% allow network infiltration, and 22% expose sensitive file vulnerabilities. With real-world incidents already occurring the solution isn't hoping for the best, it's implementing an MCP gateway before your next deployment.
