NorthstarMLS and REcore Introduce Project NexusRE™, Giving MLSs and Brokers More Visibility and Control over Listing Data in the AI Era

Published

on

Now in active development, Project NexusRE is designed to give brokers and MLSs visibility into how listing data is accessed, used and monetized by AI systems — and the controls to govern it.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NorthstarMLS and REcore Solutions today introduced Project NexusRE™, a patent-pending infrastructure layer that helps brokers and MLSs understand how listing data is accessed, interpreted and used as artificial intelligence reshapes the market. Project NexusRE gives brokers unprecedented visibility into how their listing data is used once it leaves the MLS — which applications, feeds and AI systems are accessing it, and under what terms.

As AI tools increasingly process listing data across the web, that data is being used in more places and by more systems than brokers can currently see or govern. Project NexusRE sits between MLS data and the growing number of websites, applications and AI systems using that data. It provides a common framework for managing permission, monitoring usage and maintaining accountability across those interactions.

For agents, Project NexusRE creates a standardized environment for the AI tools already used every day. This ensures that information generated from MLS data follows the same rules and standards expected elsewhere in the marketplace.

Unlike approaches that would centralize or replace the local MLS, Project NexusRE is designed to strengthen the cooperative structure that already exists in the industry. It applies the updatable permissions and policies regardless of how listing data is accessed, and is intended to be open to MLSs and brokers of any size.

“The use and misuse by machine based learning platforms is something MLSs have no exposure to,” said Art Carter, CEO of REcore. “Project NexusRE will introduce governance, cooperation, rules, permissions, local market expertise and trusted workflows to stand in between the MLS database and machine based learning platforms. It is about helping the industry manage those connections in a way that protects trust and supports the entire real estate ecosystem.”

Much of the infrastructure governing MLS and broker listing data was built long before AI-driven systems became part of everyday real estate operations. Today, listing data rules live across disconnected agreements, APIs, policies and technology systems, making consistent enforcement difficult.

“Artificial intelligence is reshaping how consumers search for homes, how agents serve clients, and how businesses interact with real estate data. However, much of the industry’s infrastructure was built for a different era,” said Tim Dain, president and CEO of NorthstarMLS. “The opportunity for real estate is enormous, but so is the responsibility to build systems that evolve while preserving confidence in how data is governed and shared. Project NexusRE is about that future.”

Built to address LLM connectivity standards, Project NexusRE is designed to apply governance once and enforce it consistently across channels with permissions, compliance screening and usage metering built into the foundation. This initiative is expected to support contribution-based credits for brokers who supply data, a governed environment for building compliant real estate software and additional real estate datasets such as public records.

Originated by NorthstarMLS, which serves as patent assignee, and commercialized by REcore, Project NexusRE is in active development, with initial testing expected to begin in summer 2026. NorthstarMLS and REcore are inviting MLSs, associations and industry partners to engage early to help evaluate use cases and governance models and engage in deployment opportunities as development progresses.

“We are still in the early stages of understanding what AI will ultimately mean for real estate,” Dain said. “But the infrastructure decisions being made today will shape how the industry operates for years to come. We believe this is work the industry cannot afford to ignore and should not outsource. That’s why we selected REcore, a company that can only be owned by brokers and MLS investment.”

In 2025, the organization provided real estate professionals access to more than 97,000 listings, facilitating over 75,000 real estate transactions and contributing nearly $30.4 billion to the regional economy.

About Project NexusRE™

Project NexusRE is a patent-pending governance foundation designed to help the MLS industry evolve for the AI era through stronger governance, transparency, accountability and broker-centered data controls. More than a connection layer, Project NexusRE is designed to help MLSs and brokers see how listing data is used, apply permissions and policies more consistently, establish clearer accountability around AI-driven interactions, and support responsible innovation while preserving the trust, transparency and cooperation of the local MLS. Project NexusRE is currently in active development.

Annual Awards Program Recognizes Top Mindful Companies, Services and Products Within the Packaged Goods Industry

LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 Mindful Awards Program, an independent recognition platform highlighting conscious companies and products that mindfully make waves in the ever-expanding world of consumer-packaged goods, today announced that Bella San Luci from Mooney Farms, a certified woman-owned family farm based in Chico, California, has been awarded “Salad Dressing Product of the Year” in the 8th annual awards program.

Bella Sun Luci Salad Vinaigrette line offers a health-conscious alternative to seed oils and preservatives. Made with 100% olive oil and all-natural, premium ingredients, the dressings are also free from artificial additives. Mooney Farm’s olive oil is sourced from the family estate, ensuring that each vinaigrette delivers a rich, unique flavor along with the oil’s natural health benefits. The California Olive Oil is cold-pressed from Arbequina olives and paired with premium De Nigris Italian balsamic vinegar, raw wildflower honey, and sun-dried tomatoes. The company oversees every aspect of the production process, from sourcing premium ingredients to packaging in its facility, to ensure quality and sustainability.

Bella San Luci’s Salad Dressing line features five varieties. The classic Balsamic Vinaigrette is crafted using 25-year barrel-aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, along with lemon and raw honey. The California Vinaigrette is made with locally sourced honey and sweet oranges, along with a blend of rich vinegar, fresh herbs and spices. The Sonoma Vinaigrette features garlic and a mixture of Italian herbs and is infused with sun-dried tomatoes. Additionally, the Champagne Vinaigrette, handcrafted in small batches, combines California champagne vinegar balanced by herbs. The Meyers Lemon Vinaigrette with Basil and Wildflower Honey is produced with Meyer lemons picked at their peak, along with notes of basil and honey.

“For over 38 years, Bella Sun Luci has been known for premium, health-conscious products. We are proud to offer consumers an option that enhances both the flavor of their meals and their overall wellness. With each bottle, we are not just selling a product but inspiring a healthier, more flavorful way of eating,” said Mary Mooney, Founder of Mooney Farms. “Thank you to the Mindful Awards for this wonderful accolade that underlies our commitment to using premium ingredients, prioritizing transparency and integrity in ingredient sourcing, and taking a stand against the widespread use of seed oils and preservatives in the food industry.”

As a certified woman-owned company rooted in family values, Bella Sun Luci is committed to sustainability and mindful food production. The company practices sustainable farming, minimizes waste, and maximizes efficiency.

The mission of the Mindful Awards is to bring awareness to the benefits of mindfulness and its impact on society as a whole, to create a more compassionate and sustainable world. The 2026 awards program honors conscious consumer packaged goods (CPGs) companies, products, and services that are setting a new standard in the CPG industry, recognizing the very best in transparent, fair, natural, organic, sustainable, healthy and delicious categories. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from all over the world from companies whose innovations enhance daily living, promote sustainability, and improve quality of life.

“Bella San Luci sets a new standard in the salad dressing industry while delivering authentic Italian flavor. Many popular dressings rely on inflammatory seed and canola oils, MSG, and artificial preservatives. Along with industrial processing, these factors can increase inflammation and lead to other health issues,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. “Mooney Farms and Bella Sun Luci are making mindful waves by blending tradition, innovation, and sustainability into their products. Their line of Salad Vinaigrette represents a shift in the salad dressing category. For integrating high-quality, carefully sourced ingredients along with a rich, unique flavor, we’re awarding Bella San Luci with ‘Salad Dressing Product of the Year.'”

While the demand for CPGs remains consistent, consumer preferences evolve and change as they rely more heavily on third-party validation when making new purchasing decisions. The 2026 Mindful Awards winners range from groundbreaking food and beverage products to sustainable household solutions, redefining consumer experiences worldwide.

Lorien AI Launches Integration with MeridianLink Mortgage to Power the Future of In-Workflow AI for Lenders

Published

Lorien AI brings conversational AI, document automation, and underwriting support into MeridianLink Mortgage for modern lending teams.

MIAMI, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Lorien AI, a provider of agentic AI for mortgage lenders, announced that its platform will be integrated with MeridianLink® Mortgage. The native integration allows mortgage lenders to seamlessly deploy Lorien’s advanced conversational AI layer directly within their MeridianLink Mortgage Loan Origination System (LOS), dramatically accelerating loan velocity and driving operational efficiency.

“We are giving lenders a highly customizable, scalable solution to eliminate operational friction and dramatically reduce turn-times.”

Lorien AI is focused on building the future of mortgage lending. By embedding Lorien AI directly into the MeridianLink Mortgage workflow, teams no longer have to step away from their active sessions to wait on manual help desks or email queues for scenario questions or policy clarifications. Instead, Lorien acts as an always-on assistant, parsing complex loan documentation, verifying data entries against the Loan Origination System (LOS), and providing instant, natural-language guidance on lending policies, underwriting guidelines, and interdepartment communications.

Unlike standard AI applications built on public models like ChatGPT, Lorien AI operates data automation on its own isolated, proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs). This enterprise-grade architecture guarantees absolute data privacy and strict regulatory compliance, ensuring that a lender’s proprietary data, loan-scenario logic, and internal policies are completely ring-fenced and never used to train public algorithms. Users can also use commercialized models for tasks that don’t require the highest level of security.

MeridianLink® powers digital lending and account opening for financial institutions and provides data verification solutions for consumer reporting agencies. MeridianLink’s innovative, cloud-based platforms help customers build deeper relationships with consumers through data-driven, personalized experiences across the entire lending life cycle. MeridianLink’s Partner Marketplace supports hundreds of integrations for tailored innovation.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with an industry leader like MeridianLink,” said Marcus Arkan, CEO and founder of Lorien AI. “Our mission is to bring legacy operators into the AI-enabled future of mortgage lending. By embedding Lorien’s intelligence directly into the MeridianLink ecosystem, we are giving lenders a highly customizable, scalable solution to elevate the partner experience, eliminate operational friction, and dramatically reduce turn-times without a proportional increase in headcount.”
