Have you ever wanted real-time access to MLS listings, client communication, and market updates right in your pocket, without being tied to a desktop?
For modern real estate professionals, mobility is essential. Buyers and sellers expect rapid responses, and transactions move faster than ever. Keeping up with client needs, listing changes, and market trends requires more than a static MLS—it demands a mobile solution.
This is where MLS-Touch, the official mobile extension of Matrix MLS by CoreLogic, comes into play. MLS-Touch is designed to give agents, brokers, and investors the ability to access MLS data, manage clients, and maintain collaboration anytime, anywhere. It combines the power of Matrix MLS with the convenience of mobile technology, enabling faster decisions, smoother communication, and better client service.
In this article, we’ll explore how MLS-Touch works, the features that make it indispensable for real estate professionals, and the practical benefits it delivers to every participant in the property ecosystem.
The Need for Mobile MLS Access
Traditional MLS platforms have been essential for listing data, but desktop-only systems have limitations in today’s fast-paced market:
- Buyers want immediate responses to inquiries
- Agents need access while visiting properties or traveling
- Market updates happen multiple times a day
MLS-Touch addresses these challenges by bringing the full functionality of Matrix MLS into a mobile-friendly app, available on both iOS and Android devices.
Key advantages
- Access listings in real-time
- Manage client communication on the go
- Track market changes and new listings instantly
- Reduce dependency on desktop computers
For agents, brokers, and even developers, this flexibility translates into faster, more efficient client service.
Core Features of MLS-Touch
MLS-Touch is built on the foundation of Matrix MLS, providing a mobile-optimized interface with tools designed for mobility, collaboration, and client engagement.
1. Real-Time Listings Access
MLS-Touch allows agents to:
- Search properties using detailed filters (price, location, size, type)
- View full listing details, including photos, floor plans, and features
- Access the most current status updates (active, pending, sold)
The app is constantly synced with the main Matrix MLS database, ensuring that information is always accurate and up-to-date.
Why it matters
- Agents can respond immediately to client inquiries
- Buyers receive accurate property data
- Sellers benefit from faster market visibility
2. Saved Searches and Push Notifications
Similar to Matrix MLS, MLS-Touch lets agents create saved searches for their clients. These searches automatically monitor the MLS for new listings, price changes, or status updates.
The mobile advantage comes from push notifications:
- Alerts are sent instantly to the agent’s device
- Agents can then notify clients immediately
- No opportunity is lost due to delay
This functionality makes MLS-Touch ideal for fast-moving markets where timing can determine a deal’s success.
3. Client Management on the Go
MLS-Touch integrates with the Prospect system from Matrix MLS, enabling agents to manage client relationships directly from their phone.
Features include:

- At open houses
High-resolution images, floor plans, and property details are accessible offline or online, enhancing professionalism and client experience.
6. Offline Access for Field Work
MLS-Touch supports offline access to previously viewed listings and saved searches. This ensures agents can:

- What properties did clients favor or reject
- Recent interactions through the portal
Why it’s useful
- Agents know where to focus follow-up efforts
- Less active clients can be re-engaged strategically
- Data-driven decisions improve conversion rates
MLS-Touch turns engagement tracking from a desktop-only task into a mobile, real-time tool.
8. Integrated Communication
MLS-Touch ensures that communication is centralized:
