opportunities for both consumers and real estate professionals.”
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FirstMLS (FMLS) and Information Technology Systems Ontario has launched a groundbreaking IntraMatrix connection between their respective MLS® System platforms. This new collaboration will allow authorized users of both systems to access residential and commercial property listings across US and Canadian borders empowering real estate professionals to better serve clients seeking international opportunities in two of North America’s most dynamic markets.
Through this initiative, ITSO MLS® users will gain direct visibility into FMLS’s extensive inventory across Georgia, while FMLS members will be able to explore listings throughout Ontario facilitated by ITSO’s regional network. The seamless connection is designed to enhance transparency, broaden market reach, and support agents working with globally-minded buyers, sellers, and investors.
“ITSO is excited to set up this connection to further our strategic direction of increasing transparency and access to MLS® data through an expanded IntraMatrix network spanning Canada and the United States” said Nicole Pohl, 2025/2026 ITSO Chair. “By opening up cross-border listing access, we are giving Ontario real estate professionals new tools to meet the needs of clients who are increasingly looking beyond local markets, as well as the ability to generate new referrals.”
“At FMLS, we see the future of real estate as built on collaboration that creates meaningful opportunities for both consumers and professionals. Our partnership with ITSO expands access to trusted property data provided by MLSs. This benefits Agents & Brokers representing Canadian buyers discovering homes in Atlanta and across Georgia, while opening new possibilities for American buyers exploring vacation homes, second residences, and lifestyle options in Canada. As cross-border real estate demand grows, this partnership equips brokers and agents with the information needed to better serve clients wherever opportunities arise. Together, we’re showing how MLS organizations can go beyond traditional boundaries to create a more connected, accessible, and valuable real estate market.” -Jeremy Crawford, President & CEO
