AnyProp Launches Nationwide MLS Data API

After two years in stealth, AnyProp, a company incubated by 75 & Sunny Labs, has emerged to revolutionize the real estate industry with its MLS Data API. Co-founded in 2024 by Spencer Rascoff, Lawrence Zhou, and Lee Lin, AnyProp is now opening its platform to qualified real estate brokerages and software vendors.

The launch of AnyProp's MLS Data API marks a significant step in simplifying the complex process of accessing and managing MLS data. In most markets, local Multiple Listing Services (MLS) maintain the most accurate and comprehensive residential listings data. However, accessing this data at scale requires navigating through different approval procedures, licensing requirements, data schemas, display rules, reporting obligations, and vendor policies for 500 separate MLS organizations. This process can be overwhelming for brokerages expanding across multiple markets, often necessitating a dedicated team of engineers and operations staff.

AnyProp was built to address this challenge. The company is an approved IDX, VOW, and BBO feed vendor with every major MLS in the country. It hosts and maintains listing data and photos across a broad network of MLSs, making that data available through a normalized nationwide API. Additionally, AnyProp works with clients to satisfy applicable feed usage, attribution, reporting, and other MLS compliance requirements.

AnyProp's ideal customers include large national brokerages looking to reduce the burden on their internal engineering and compliance teams. However, the company also works with MLS members that may initially need data from only a handful of markets or even a single state. The economics are compelling at any scale. Nationwide data infrastructure can involve substantial cloud storage and media-hosting costs before accounting for the engineering, vendor approval, compliance, and operational staff required to maintain hundreds of feeds. For smaller brokerages and their in-house engineering teams, becoming an approved MLS vendor with IDX licensing requires significant monetary costs and a large engineering overhaul.

AnyProp pricing is very favorable compared to attempting to replicate all of the work with an in-house team. Furthermore, customers can add markets as they expand and remove markets with 90 days' notice. AnyProp does not require long-term lock-in and offers prospective customers a sample API and data-preview tools before they commit. The company also provides daily support through Slack and works directly with customers as they add new MLSs and markets.

AnyProp, Inc. provides MLS data infrastructure to real estate brokerages and software companies. Its normalized MLS Data API combines data from hundreds of MLSs into a common nationwide interface, while its team helps customers manage MLS data licensing, approvals, integrations, and ongoing compliance requirements.
