The MIAMI Association of REALTORS® and Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® (RWorld), along with their respective MLSs, MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS, completed their merger into a single association and MLS.
The association’s proposed new name will be Miami and South Florida REALTORS®, pending approval by National Association of REALTORS®. The name of the combined MLS has not been determined yet, according to a spokesperson. The merger brings together about 93,000 members, making it the largest local Realtor association in the world.
Members will soon receive a host of tools, data, services and educational opportunities, including:
- A complete South Florida MLS dataset.
- The third-largest MLS in the nation.
- Free IDX feeds including listings of both MLSs – MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS.
- The choice between two powerful platforms: Flexmls and Matrix.
- Over 2,800 educational seminars.
- Over 300 products and services.
- Over 300 signed global partnerships.
- Free Supras for all Realtors to improve home showings.
- Over 11 data exchanges to expand the reach of listings.
“Your real estate association now reflects what we have always known about the Miami and South Florida marketplace. We are one,” Co-CEO Teresa King Kinney said. “This is not about county lines. This is about providing the most data, tools and education to South Florida real estate professionals so they can deliver the highest level of professional service to their clients.”
Kinney will share leadership and Dionna Hall, the CEO of RWorld and BeachesMLS, as co-CEOs until the end of the year, when she will retire after a 33-year career leading MIAMI. Hall will become CEO of Miami and South Florida REALTORS® in 2027 and beyond.
“Data is power and this historic merger means South Florida Realtors will finally have one complete MLS dataset to power their business,” Hall said. “Realtors in South Florida have dealt with fragmented data for years. But now there will be no more buying IDX feeds from multiple organizations. Your IDX data feeds will soon include all the listings of both MLSs – MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS – and that means more business for you and your clients.”
MIAMI Chairman Alfredo Pujol will serve as the first chairman, while RWorld President Jonathan Dolphus will be the 2026 chair-elect and 2027 chairman, and Katherine Arteta will be the 2027 chair-elect.
