Hive MLS has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 Inman Innovator Award, a recognition that puts it in the company of many of the country’s biggest and most esteemed real estate firms.
Innovation is not a separate project at Hive. It runs through everything we do. ”— Daniel Jones, CEO of Hive MLS
Hive MLS is now a finalist for the 2026 Inman Innovator Award, widely regarded as one of the most coveted accolades in the real estate industry.
Hive MLS is among several major and highly respected industry players vying for the award in the MLS, Association or Industry Organization category, which also features Bright MLS, Florida Realtors, MRED, NorthstarMLS, and Stellar MLS.
The Inman Innovator Awards honor companies and organizations that have a proven track record of enhancing the real estate industry. The winners are set to be revealed on July 28 at Inman Connect San Diego.
“Recognition like this belongs to our entire team,” said Daniel Jones, CEO of Hive MLS. “Innovation is not a separate project at Hive. It runs through everything we do and is a thread that connects our three Cs: collaboration, connectivity and community. Our team is always looking for better, sometimes thinking out-of-the-box ways to deliver more value to our brokers and their agents who depend on us every day.”
This recognition comes on the heels of Hive MLS being awarded “BEST MLS” across all seven categories assessed by the WAV Group Customer Experience Index 2026 Survey, which include overall performance, customer service, training, technology, data quality, responsiveness, and business generation.
Hive MLS’s broker-centric approach emphasizes precise data, dependable technology, prompt service, and tangible business results for its members. “That commitment,” according to Daniel, “has helped make Hive MLS one of the nation’s fastest-growing multiple listing services.”
