New Global MLS Launched to Cut Seller Costs Worldwide

Global Listings, a World Property Markets firm, launches AI real estate marketplace to reshape buying, selling, renting.

LOBAL LISTINGS, a World Property Markets portfolio company, is launching a next‑generation AI‑powered real‑estate marketplace—dubbed the “World’s MLS”—set to debut in late 2026. The platform will unify global property search and discovery into a single, open, intelligent hub.

    Founder Michael Gerrity explains that the new v2.0 system will dismantle the traditional, broker‑only Multiple Listing Service model. “Our MLS will be accessible to anyone—consumers, professionals, and businesses worldwide,” he says. Listings can be posted and searched in every market and language, and the platform will operate independently of any real‑estate association, breaking the regional silos that no longer match the digital, global nature of the industry.

    Gerrity estimates that sellers spend roughly $500 billion annually on acquisition costs for $18 trillion in property transactions across more than 100 million sellers. The goal is to halve those costs over the next decade, saving users hundreds of billions each year. The marketplace will welcome all seller types—agents, brokers, developers, landlords, investors, institutions, banks, and governments—providing direct access to highly targeted buyers, investors, and renters at lower costs.

    For buyers, the AI engine will aggregate fragmented data from over 10 million property sites worldwide, replacing the current chaotic sprawl. “Consumers now juggle multiple local sites and languages to find listings,” Gerrity notes. The new platform will streamline this into a unified, intelligent search experience for hundreds of millions of users monthly.

    GLOBAL LISTINGS is not starting from scratch. The v2.0 platform builds on its existing v1.0 analog system, launched in 2018, which currently hosts more than 3 million active listings across 112 countries each month. “Our AI platform represents the future—a digital ecosystem designed to modernize the world’s largest, most fragmented industry,” Gerrity concludes.
