Toronto, ON, April 1, 2026 — PropTx Innovations Inc. ("PropTx") and the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation ("MPAC") are partnering to deliver the most comprehensive residential appraisal subscription service available in Ontario.

Designed specifically for professional appraisers, this new offering brings together PropTx MLS® listing data and MPAC property data including residential square footage, into a single, integrated platform based on the REALM MLS® application that PropTx appraiser subscribers are already using. This will eliminate the need for multiple subscriptions and ad hoc report purchases, significantly enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and access to critical property insights.

Through PropTx, Appraiser Members and Candidate Members of the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) and the Canadian National Association of Real Estate Appraisers (CNAREA) will access this exclusive subscription service beginning in April.

A Unified Data Experience for Appraisers

Key benefits of this new unified solution include:

• Single Access Point: PropTx MLS® residential and commercial data and MPAC residential property information are now available through one integrated platform, with MPAC current state and condition commercial data available in May.
• Included Square Footage Data: Residential square footage from MPAC is included in the subscription, eliminating the need for separate ad hoc report purchases.
• Enhanced Data Depth: Access to both current and historical property data to support more accurate valuations.
• Improved Workflow Efficiency: Reduced administrative burden and faster report generation.

Comprehensive Data Coverage

The base subscription service includes:

Subject Property Insights

• Detailed MPAC residential property reports, including:
• Site and structural characteristics
• Building permit history
• Current state and condition
• MPAC current state and condition of commercial, industrial, and institutional properties available in May.
• Three-year residential PropTx MLS® sales history with full listing details and photos and five-year commercial PropTx MLS® sales history.

Comparable Property Analysis

• MPAC property data reflective of residential properties at the time of sale and current state and condition of commercial, industrial, and institutional properties available in May.
• Complete three-year PropTx MLS® residential sales history and five-year commercial sales history, including listing details and photos

Advanced Search Capabilities

• Robust search functionality including address, map, property attributes, and sale date

Optional Fee-Based Retrospective Data Reports

• For more specialized appraisals that require a longer time series of data, subscribers will be able to produce a retrospective report on a fee-per-report basis using a built-in e-commerce platform.
• Historical MPAC residential property information will be available dating back to 2006, with current state and condition commercial data available in May. For some parts of the province, PropTx residential and commercial data will be available for earlier sale dates.

A Marked Improvement in Data Transparency and Access

By combining two of Ontario's most trusted property data sources, this partnership addresses longstanding challenges in the appraisal process, particularly around data fragmentation, historical accuracy, and cost efficiency.

"This partnership represents a significant advancement for the appraisal profession in Ontario," said John DiMichele, CEO of PropTx Innovations Inc. "By integrating timely PropTx MLS® transaction data with MPAC's authoritative property information, we are delivering a more complete, efficient, and reliable data experience that directly supports the quality and consistency of property valuations."

"MPAC is committed to improving access to high-quality property data," said Lee Taylor, Vice President of Business Development at MPAC. "Working with PropTx allows us to expand how appraisers access and use property information, supporting better outcomes across the real estate ecosystem."

Industry Support

"Access to reliable, comprehensive data is fundamental to the appraisal profession and remains a core focus of our advocacy at AIC Ontario," said Stephen Otto, AIC-ON President. "This collaboration between PropTx and MPAC represents a significant step forward, bringing together data that previously required multiple subscriptions and equipping appraisers with the practical tools needed to deliver accurate, well-supported valuations in an increasingly complex market. It enhances efficiency, delivers real value to our Members, and supports appraisers in accessing and applying property data in a manner consistent with their professional and licensing obligations, an important consideration as data sourcing continues to evolve across the industry. Our Members play an integral role across the housing continuum, and ensuring they have the right tools to do their work with confidence is a priority we take seriously."

The new subscription service will be available to eligible AIC and CNAREA members beginning April 1, 2026.

Building Trust for Landlords, Tenants, and REALTORS

PropTx Innovations Inc. (“PropTx”), the MLS® and technology subsidiary of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), today announced a partnership to launch PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove, a secure, all-in-one tenant screening solution that delivers peace of mind for landlords, greater control for tenants, and a powerful new tool for REALTORS® to further enhance their role as trusted advisors. The service will officially launch in early October. REALTORS® can access PropTx Verify directly through their PropTx dashboard and consumers will be able to order reports from in-listing links and by requesting access via a REALTOR®, with reports starting at $14.95 CAD.

By consolidating credit, income, employment, rental history, background checks, and other key data into one seamless report, PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove reduces uncertainty and dramatically lowers the risk of fraud. Reports are delivered securely through the PropTx platform, ensuring landlords receive authentic information while protecting tenants’ confidential data from being emailed or shared across multiple channels.

“This launch is about more than technology,” said John DiMichele, CEO of PropTx. “It’s about reinforcing REALTORS® as the central point of trust in the rental process. With PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove, landlords can rely on accurate reports, tenants gain confidence their data is secure, and REALTORS® can deliver clarity and support throughout the transaction.”

Why It Matters:

• For Landlords PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove safeguards against fraud and misrepresentation by providing authenticated reports that cannot be altered or manipulated. Informed decisions are based on verified income, rental history, and key financial and background data.
• For Tenants PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove provides a faster, fairer and cost-effective process that keeps personal data safe. Instead of sending sensitive documents to multiple email addresses, tenants maintain control over how their verified report is securely shared.
• For REALTORS® PropTx Verify™ powered by Cove enhances their role as trusted advisors by equipping them with a secure, professional tool to guide clients on both sides of the rental transaction.

“PropTx Verify™ equips our users with a comprehensive, secure, and easy-to-use tool that ultimately benefits their clients,” said Kevin Crigger, President of PropTx. “Landlords gain confidence, tenants gain protection, and REALTORS® deliver a higher standard of data and insights.”

“Our mission at Cove is to make verification effortless yet reliable,” said Adyan Tanver, CEO of Cove. “Through our partnership with PropTx, every landlord, tenant, and REALTOR® in Ontario can now transact with speed, security, and trust.”
