As AI adoption accelerates across real estate, MLS data sits at the center of both opportunity and risk. MCP is emerging as a key safeguard, helping the industry innovate responsibly while protecting critical data assets.
AI costs are invisible to consumers but critical at scale. Smart routing across models protects margins and ensures sustainable, high-performance AI operations for MLSs and brokerages.
Every wave of technology gives us a chance to rethink how we work. MCP is that wave.
For real estate brokerages and MLSs, the parallels are striking. The same challenges Fortune 500 firms face with AI are the ones our industry must prepare for as agentic AI becomes central to brokerage operations, MLS data services, and consumer experiences.
WAV Group recently had the opportunity to sit down with Todd Teta, Chief Product and Technology Officer at ATTOM Data. Todd has spent his career at the intersection of product and technology, with deep roots in real estate, mortgage, and property data. Since joining ATTOM in 2016, he has guided the company’s transformation from RealtyTrac, a foreclosure portal, into one of the industry’s leading pure-play data licensing firms.
Brokers are adopting AI. If the MLS doesn’t provide compliant access to the data they need, they’ll find workarounds.
We don’t believe your data or your strategy should live inside vendor-run ecosystems.
Imagine an AI that understands not just language but the structure of real estate transactions, compliance rules, timelines, and customer journeys.
AI will not transform real estate and mortgage independently. It will transform them together—if they share the same data environment.
