The infrastructure that makes your members globally findable.
The Internet that doesn’t see your members’ listings is three times the size of the one that does.
The English-language web is a minority of the global Internet. Your members’ English-only listings have been virtually invisible to the other three-quarters — until now.

The buyers your members don’t hear from, and the leads they don’t get.
Every brokerage in your members’ markets is chasing the same domestic buyers. Meanwhile, some of the highest-value buyers in U.S. real estate are searching in Mandarin, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Arabic — but they probably do not find your members’ listings unless they are with a global brand.
Not because the listings aren’t there, but because the search engines, indexes, and link graphs of the non-English Internet operate on parallel tracks — which explains why your search for pizza delivery does not include offers in Tokyo.
The value of the MLS no longer stops at the edge of the local market.

These are the high-value prospects your members will reach when you partner with Immobel. No changes to your systems or platforms — just greater reach and connectivity that is branded to you and compliantly operated under your MLS rules.
Five capabilities. One agreement.
Each of the products below can be deployed independently or in combination, sized to fit your member base and your budget cycle.
Global Referral Connect membership.
The network where real estate professionals access cross-market collaboration and secure referral management in their preferred languages. Searchable agent profiles, translated direct messaging, and documented referral workflows in a LinkedIn-style environment built specifically for real estate — already moving more than $7 billion in referrals every year, across 50 states and 119 countries.
Two delivery models: bulk member access (recommended) or a revenue-share upgrade for individual members.
Global Referral ConnectListings on Immo.Global.
Your members’ listings on the 19-language global property showcase, with inquiries going directly to the listing agent — no middleman, no referral fee, no lead resale. Included as a partner benefit when you join.
Immo.GlobalGlobalView 19-language member websites.
Member websites in 19 expertly translated, WCAG-accessible editions — the same engine behind the NTREIS Translator. Indexed in Google.co.jp, Baidu, Naver, Yandex, and the other parallel-Internet search engines, so your members are discoverable by a whole new population of prospects they never reached before.
Bulk deployment or revenue share.
GlobalView WebsitesMultilingual consumer-facing MLS search.
A WCAG-compliant, 19-language consumer search and display for your MLS listings — branded for your MLS, accessible in the language each visitor prefers. The public face of your MLS — fully accessible to all prospective buyers, no matter how they prefer to search.
Already powering the consumer-facing listing search for the Miami Association of Realtors (SFPropertySearch.com), Rhode Island Statewide MLS (RILiving.com), and OneKey MLS (OneKeyMLS.com).
GDX participation layer.
For MLSes participating in GDX, Immobel ingests the listing data feeds from your elected partner nodes, translates the listings into the languages your members need, and displays them inside Global Referral Connect — visible only to the members you’ve permissioned to see each data pool.
Detailed below.

The GDX participation layer.
GDX is the standards-based, federated network that enables MLSs, broker repositories, and real estate organizations to share public listing data across borders. Each node remains authoritative — every market keeps its own rules, branding, and governance.
Immobel is a technology partner to the GDX ecosystem, providing the referral and multilingual layer that sits alongside the data exchange.
Local strength. Global reach.
What we do for GDX participants.
For any MLS participating in GDX — including Stellar MLS, the first to deploy — Immobel takes the listing data feeds from your elected partner nodes and turns them into something your members can actually use:
- —Ingest the data feeds from each partner node, in whatever languages they arrive.
- —Translate the listings into the languages your members need — at minimum English and Spanish, with the full 19-language library available.
- —Convert prices between currencies and measurements between imperial and metric, where the underlying data supports it.
- —Display the listings inside Global Referral Connect, behind password protection and SSO from your member dashboard.
- —Identify and permission only your members, scoped to the specific data pools you have elected to make available to them.
- —Members search and display listings using familiar criteria — location, price, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, advanced features — and see the listing agent’s name and contact information.
- —Members save listings, set alerts for new listings and updates, and contact listing agents through Connect’s translated direct messaging — or use the contact information directly, outside the platform.
Available to every GDX participant.
This facility is not exclusive. It is offered to every MLS participating in GDX, on terms aligned with each MLS’s existing relationship with Immobel.
Stellar MLS is the first to go live; we are actively extending the same offering to other GDX participants.
For MLSes whose Connect agreement is already in place, the GDX participation layer is included at no additional cost — for as long as the Connect agreement remains active.
Two models. Designed to fit how your MLS already works.
Bulk member access.
Your MLS purchases access for all members. Predictable cost, full coverage, no member friction. Rolled into your existing member services bundle, alongside lockbox, forms, and the rest.
Best for MLSes that want every member equipped from day one.
Revenue-share upgrade.
Members opt in individually and pay an upgrade fee. Your MLS shares in the revenue. No upfront commitment, no risk on your side — and a new revenue line as adoption grows.
Best for MLSes that prefer a phased rollout or want to gauge demand before scaling.
Most MLSes choose a combination: bulk access for the foundational products, revenue share for the premium tier. We work with your team to design the structure that fits your member base and your budget cycle.

We have been delivering solutions to MLSs, associations, brands, portals, and brokers ever since — from member-facing websites to cross-border referral collaboration.
