WILMINGTON, N.C., Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — North Carolina Regional Multiple Listing Service (NCRMLS), one of the nation’s fastest growing MLSs, today revealed its strategic transformation to Hive MLS and Hive Solutions. The new “Hive” brand marks a pivotal moment in the organization’s evolution, signifying its ongoing commitment to serving and supporting the success of real estate professionals.
Throughout its expansion, Hive MLS has proven the profitability of its wholesale model, attracting other MLSs with its “humble and unwavering commitment” to foster collaboration, connectivity, and community within the real estate industry.
This strategic move marks a significant milestone for the real estate industry in the Southeast as Hive MLS’s unique model focuses on delivering MLS system choice.
The new Hive MLS brand symbolizes the interdependence and cooperative spirit that defines the real estate market. Drawing inspiration from a beehive’s highly efficient and organized structure, the new brand is illustrative of how everyone works together to create a seamless real estate experience.
“Bees are nature’s ultimate team players, and their hive represents an unwavering model of efficiency and cooperation with humility,” said Daniel Jones, CEO of Hive MLS. “Our new name embodies our mission to create a supportive environment where Associations, MLSs, real estate agents, brokers, and clients collaborate to succeed. We believe that working together can enhance the real estate experience for everyone involved.”
By growing through shareholder-friendly partnerships in an environment that fuels a strong spirit of collaboration, Hive MLS continues to champion broker success, particularly for those operating in multiple MLS regions. Hive MLS’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge tools, AI-driven technologies, and robust data is designed to elevate the business operations of MLSs, brokers, and agents.
“We believe we have created an ecosystem where everyone can thrive as part of the Hive,” added Jones. “Our new name represents a spirit of community and growth. It’s more than a name change – it conveys how we serve real estate professionals,” Jones said.
“Just like bees working together, our new marketing mantra ‘Powered by Hive MLS and Hive Solutions’ signifies that each independent and participating Association, MLS, or Broker is equipped with cutting-edge education, technology, and data to elevate their business operations to deliver successful results to their clients.”
“Our new Hive brand name showcases our commitment to Associations and MLSs to maintain their independence with their subscribers while simultaneously turbo-boosting their efficiency,” stated Jones. “With Hive MLS, we’re taking this ethos to the next level, empowering our Associations, MLSs, and brokers with best-in-class solutions and support they need.”
Expanded Services and New Solutions
With its rebranding, Hive MLS will continue to function as a centralized listing resource, offering a seamless platform for Realtors®, brokers, and agents to collaborate on property transactions. However, this transformation isn’t just cosmetic – it comes with an array of new offerings under the Hive Solutions umbrella, a suite of products designed to help real estate professionals streamline their operations and better serve their clients.
Hive Solutions offers:
- Enhanced MLS tools to improve listing accuracy and transaction efficiency
