Realtracs expands with national brokerage listings from United and Compass International Holdings

Realtracs, Tennessee’s largest multiple listing service, is expanding beyond its regional base with new national brokerage participation that will bring listings from Compass International Holdings, the parent company of Compass, the six Anywhere Real Estate brands and @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, and United Real Estate onto its platform.

The Nashville-based MLS said in an announcement on Thursday that Compass has agreed to provide a data feed of all its active listings to Realtracs and to subsidize membership costs for its real estate professionals who choose to join Realtracs as full members. United Real Estate has also committed to contributing its listings, with additional brokerages in talks to participate, according to the MLS.

Realtracs currently supports more than 19,000 real estate professionals across six states. By adding listings from large national brokerages, the MLS said it aims to create a broader, more comprehensive listing environment that increases access and choice for brokers and agents nationwide.

“We support broker, agent and client choice. Our role is not to dictate a single model. It is to provide the infrastructure that allows those strategies to coexist within one connected system, without breaking cooperation or limiting opportunity,” Stuart White, president and CEO of Realtracs, said in the announcement.

The move comes as MLSs and brokerages adapt to new listing and compensation models in the wake of regulatory scrutiny and commission litigation. Many brokerages and MLSs are rethinking how cooperation is structured, how data is shared and how to support multiple approaches to listing, buyer representation and compensation.

Realtracs framed the expansion as part of a broader shift toward MLS platforms that can accommodate a range of business strategies while maintaining a single, connected system for cooperation and data integrity. Bringing multiple regional and national brokerages into one ecosystem can reduce data fragmentation and help agents avoid juggling multiple partial listing sources.

For brokers and agents, broader listing participation in a single MLS can simplify search, improve market coverage and reduce the need to join overlapping systems, while also creating more options for how they structure listings and client relationships. For sellers, more connected listing distribution can mean greater exposure across markets.

Realtracs’ announcement comes less than a week after Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) announced that it was opening its MLS, including its Private Listing Network (PLN), to any licensed real estate agent nationwide and has secured a nationwide listing feed and membership subsidies from CIH.

In April, Realtracs announced that it had replaced its traditional MLS participation agreement with a new Brokerage Services Agreement that explicitly affirms brokers own their listings and the associated data.
