Realtracs has entered into a new data licensing agreement with Homes.com, making Homes.com the first company to license data through the Realtracs Data Licensing Platform. 

The agreement ensures that publicly marketed listings continue to appear on Homes.com while introducing a modern approach to licensing and using broker-created listing data. It marks an important milestone as Realtracs begins implementing its new Data Licensing Platform across the real estate technology ecosystem. 

What This Means

For brokers and agents, it’s business as usual. 

Publicly marketed listings will continue to appear on Homes.com, providing sellers with broad online visibility and helping buyers discover available homes. No action is required, and there will be no disruption to listing distribution. 

Behind the scenes, the agreement establishes clearer licensing standards, enhanced protections for emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, and greater transparency and accountability for how broker-created listing content is used. 

Data Licensing Evolution

Technology has changed dramatically over the past decade, and the agreements governing listing data need to evolve alongside it. 

The Realtracs Data Licensing Platform provides a modern, scalable foundation for licensing broker-created listing data. By establishing consistent standards for data use, reporting, and responsible stewardship, the platform supports innovation while helping protect the interests of the brokers and agents who create and contribute listing content. 

Homes.com is the first company to adopt this new approach, representing an important step forward in how listing data is licensed across the real estate industry.
