The partnership between Realtors Property Resource (RPR) and Broker Public Portal (BPP) marks another important milestone in the evolution of industry-owned consumer search. By bringing the Realtors Valuation Model® (RVM®) into Cribio and local MLS websites powered by Cribio, the industry is demonstrating that consumers can receive meaningful home value insights directly from trusted real estate professionals and MLS-backed platforms, rather than relying exclusively on third-party portals.
This collaboration is significant because it aligns valuation transparency with local market oversight. Participating MLSs retain control over permissions and display policies, ensuring that home value estimates are presented within an environment governed by Fair Display Guidelines and powered by real-time MLS data. Consumers benefit from richer property insights, while REALTORS® remain connected to the homeowner relationship through an experience designed to inform rather than distract or divert leads away from the industry.
As Cribio continues its national expansion across MLS markets including NorthstarMLS, MIBOR,

RPR® and Broker Public Portal Collaborate to Bring RVM®Valuations to Participating Cribio Markets
Industry-led collaboration gives participating MLSs the ability to enable RPR’s Realtors Valuation Model®within BPP’s consumer search experience
CHICAGO, IL — [May 12, 2026] — Broker Public Portal (BPP) and Realtors Property Resource® (RPR®) announced a new collaboration that will make RPR’s Realtors Valuation Model® (RVM®) available within BPP’s consumer search experience, Cribio, for participating MLSs and associations that choose to enable it.
The integration brings together two industry-aligned platforms with a shared commitment to accurate data, transparency and consumer trust. BPP, owned by brokers and MLSs, was created to deliver a national consumer home search experience powered by real-time MLS data and guided by Fair Display Guidelines. RPR, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS®, provides REALTORS® with parcel-centric property data, valuation tools, market insights and client-ready reports.
Through this collaboration, participating MLSs and associations that have partnered with BPP, may authorize the display of RVM® values within their local Cribio-powered consumer experience. RVM® permissions will be controlled by each MLS and enablement will require the appropriate authorization and permissions process between the MLS, BPP and RPR.
“By making the RVM® available within an industry-owned consumer experience, participating MLSs can give consumers more useful home value context while helping REALTORS® stay connected to the conversations that matter,” said Liz Gunski, Vice President, Industry Relations at RPR. “This is not a one-size-fits-all rollout. It is an MLS-directed opportunity built around authorization, permission and trust.”
The RVM® uses MLS listing data, off-market MLS data and publicly recorded sold data to generate an estimated property value, branded as the RVM. Within Cribio, it will be displayed on eligible off-market properties in participating markets, subject to MLS authorization and permissions, and will not replace MLS-sourced listing prices on active or on-market listings.
“Cribio was created to show that the real estate industry can deliver a modern consumer search experience without compromising trust, transparency, or local control,” said Dan Troup, CEO of Broker Public Portal. “Adding the RVM® gives participating MLSs a way to provide meaningful home value context inside an experience built to inform, not interrupt or sell. And just as important, decisions about how that data is displayed remain where they belong: with the MLS and the industry.”
The announcement comes as BPP continues to expand its national footprint, with Cribio gaining momentum through MLS partners including the initial two early adopters, NorthstarMLS and MIBOR, plus Canopy, Doorify, MRED, RMLS Alliance, OneKey, MetroList, MichRIC and Greater Lansing (GLAR).
“This collaboration reflects exactly where the industry needs to go,” said Tim Dain, CEO of NorthstarMLS. “Consumers want clear, useful information. MLSs want confidence in how their data is used. Brokers and agents want a search experience that supports, not competes with, the professional relationship. Enabling the RVM® through BPP helps align all three.”
The collaboration gives participating MLSs another way to bring industry-backed home value context to consumers while preserving local control over permissions and display.
MLSs and associations interested in enabling the RVM® within their BPP/Cribio experience should contact Broker Public Portal to begin the authorization and permissions process.
