A professional network for real estate
Some business comes from consumers finding you. Other business comes from professionals who know you — in markets you do not work, in languages you do not speak.
The opportunity already exists.The question is whether they know you.
Your access comes from your MLS, your association, or your brand. Every member enters the same way.
In short
A professional you have never met, in a market you do not work, has a client who needs someone where you are. Connect is how they find you, how the two of you work together across languages, and how the referral between you is signed, tracked and paid.
It is a closed professional network. Every member is admitted through their own MLS, REALTOR® association, brand, or recognized professional organization — so everyone here is a credentialed professional, not a profile collected from the open internet. Consumers do not have access.
It does three things, in this order.
A professional profile showing the markets you serve, your specializations, your brand, your designations, and the languages you work in — so a professional in another market can find you on purpose and see why you are the right person.
Message anyone in the network, each of you writing in your own language. Share a listing. Post what your client needs. Take part in your market’s page and meet people at live Market Exchanges.
When working together becomes a referral, the two of you put a signed agreement in place before any client information moves, and the referral is tracked all the way to payment.
Everything below is one of those three things in more detail.
Not only international
Post an opportunity you have, or describe what you are looking for, and find the missing half of any deal — no matter where that comes from.
And your own clients buy in other markets — a second home, a retirement move, a job that takes the family to another state. Perhaps they have inherited a property they plan to sell. Each of those is a referral you can make.
Real estate is a relationship business — Connect is the place to make more professional relationships.
International business is relationship business.So is the business next door.
Real-time translation
Across a language barrier, promising conversations stop quietly. Nobody declines. Writing to a professional you do not know, in a second language, creates enough hesitation that most people simply never send the message. Connect removes that. You write in your language. They read it in theirs. Translation is not something added once the relationship exists — it is what lets the relationship begin.
What you can do here
You do not need all of them today. Start with the one opportunity already in front of you.
Passport professional profile
This is what someone in another market sees when they land on your profile: the markets you actually serve, your specializations, your brand and licence, and the languages you work in — and that you were admitted through your own MLS, REALTOR® association, brand or recognized professional organization, not the open internet.
Member directory
Members search by market, specialization, brand or affiliation, designation, and language. Not a list of names — a filtered list of the people who can actually do the work.
Real-time translation
Connect translates every message in real time. You write in yours, they read it in theirs, and a language difference is not where the conversation stops.
Share a listing
Share it to Connect, tag its market, and switch Open to Collaborate on. It reaches the professionals whose buyers are most likely to come from that corridor.
Market pages
A market page gathers your market in one place: the professionals who represent it, the listings open to collaboration, and open Haves and Wants.
Haves and Wants
A luxury ski home could be available for the holidays. An agent needs a property with space for a live-in caregiver, with a separate entrance and parking. Haves and Wants make opportunity actionable — in your local market as readily as in a market across the country or on the other side of the world.
Market Exchange
Active agents from two markets come together in a live event to network and exchange opportunities. In a relationship industry, you cannot have too many friends.
Secure Referral Registry
When a collaboration becomes a referral, the two members can put a formal referral agreement in place — e-signed in platform, date and time stamped with the IP addresses captured, before any client information is shared. The referral is tracked step by step from agreement to transaction, creating a permanent record.
Access
There is nothing to buy and nothing to install.
If your MLS, association, or brand is a member organization, your access is already included. You may have had it for a while without knowing.
Use the email address your organization has on file. If you are not sure whether you have access, check the address and we will tell you.
Nine short emails, one idea at a time, each with one thing to do. You will not have to work out the whole network on your own.
A client moving to another market. A listing that would interest a buyer from somewhere else. A market where you need stronger relationships. Sign in and take one action.
