Texas-based Unlock MLS has entered into a strategic agreement with Omni MLS — the largest subscriber-based multiple listing service in Latin America — to provide expanded international property access for its members.
The partnership integrates Omni’s property listings across 17 Latin American countries — soon to grow to 21 — into the Unlock MLS system via Matrix, a real estate platform used by professionals across the U.S.
The collaboration aims to support cross-border transactions and connect U.S. agents with Latin American professionals and property data.
“In today’s connected world, real estate professionals need tools that reflect the increasingly global nature of our market,” Emily Girard, CEO of Unlock MLS, said in a statement. “Our partnership with Omni MLS opens the door for our subscribers to explore emerging markets, understand global trends and build meaningful professional relationships across borders.”
The move comes amid increasing migration from the U.S. to Latin America, as well as rising interest from Latin American investors in Texas real estate, according to Unlock MLS.
According to leaders, the integration will give subscribers access to broader market data and new networking opportunities across the Americas.
The decision to pursue a global data partnership followed a 2024 member needs assessment by Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of Realtors’ Global Advisory Group. Findings indicated that agents and brokers want better access to international tools and property insights.
Ross Buck, CEO of Omni MLS, said the agreement reflects the companies’ shared goals.
“Omni MLS is proud to partner with Unlock MLS to bridge real estate markets between Latin America and Central Texas,” Buck said. “Together, we’re equipping real estate professionals with the tools they need to succeed both locally and globally.”
Through the integration, Unlock MLS subscribers will be able to analyze Latin American real estate trends, support clients with international relocation or investment needs, and expand their business networks across borders.
