LERA MLS will use the SourceRE MCP to give agents, and their consumers compliant access to LERA MLS data through AI, and the SourceRE Data Marketplace to govern how that data is licensed and distributed to technology partners. LERA MLS CEO Gilbert Gonzalez joins the SourceRE Board of Advisors.
SAN ANTONIO, TX — October 19, 2026 — LERA MLS, the multiple listing service serving San Antonio and South Texas, has partnered with SourceRE to deliver governed, compliant access to its MLS data through artificial intelligence. The partnership makes LERA MLS one of the first MLSs in the country to establish a controlled connection between its listing data and the AI systems its members and their consumers use.
Today, portals, aggregators, scrapers, and other third parties serve as intermediaries between AI platforms and MLS data. This limits the MLS’s ability to enforce its rules, protect its intellectual property rights, and control how its data is used. The SourceRE MCP instead establishes a governed, compliant pathway under the control of the MLS. It functions as a single, direct connection between an MLS database and AI platforms like Chat GPT, Claude, and Grok.
Under the partnership, LERA MLS data will be accessible to AI systems, such as ChatGPT and Claude. IMLS retains the authority to grant, restrict, or revoke access at any time, and retains a complete record of how its data is being used.
“Our members and their clients are already turning to AI to answer real estate questions, and that is not going to slow down,” said Gilbert Gonzalez, CEO of LERA MLS. “What matters is whether the answers come from our data, under our rules, or from somewhere we have no visibility into. This puts LERA MLS in the position to decide that, for AI access and for every other place our data travels.”
LERA MLS is also partnering with SourceRE for governed data distribution. Through the SourceRE Data Marketplace, LERA MLS can license its data to vendors, PropTech companies, and other approved consumers from a single managed environment, with onboarding, licensing terms, billing, and RESO certified API access handled in one place. Every feed distributed through SourceRE carries Data Dye™, SourceRE’s proprietary forensic tracking technology, which makes LERA MLS data traceable at the source so unauthorized use can be identified and acted on. Together, the two services give LERA MLS one governed pathway for its data whether it is being accessed by an AI platform or a traditional technology partner.
Alongside the partnership, Gonzalez joins the SourceRE Board of Advisors. The Board of Advisors brings MLS executives directly into SourceRE’s product and policy decisions, ensuring that the infrastructure SourceRE builds reflects the operational, compliance, and governance realities MLSs face.
“LERA MLS has been deliberate about building the kind of organization that takes the lead in times of uncertainty. This is a monumental step for the region and the industry as ensure the MLS is at the forefront of AI,” said Andrew Coca, CEO of SourceRE.
