During the California Association of REALTORS meetings this week, Real Estate Business Services, Inc. (REBS) announced a partnership with Terradatum to offer two terrific new services for agents to help them better serve the information needs of their clients.

“Consumers are exposed to constant housing market chatter, and these tools provide meaningful information, specific and relevant to the consumer’s situation,” said REBS Chairman of the Board Gary Thomas. “Clarus REsourceTM enhances the position of REALTORS® as trusted, skilled advisors by providing them with tools to easily interpret raw data.”

The first, ClarusTM Market Metrics, is a series of detailed reports agents can use in client presentations. Any real estate professional with an MLS membership can purchase the reports, which provide quantitative data for establishing market-appropriate listing and offer prices. ClarusTM Market Metrics provides the REALTOR® with a set of six reports and one easy-to-understand translation of what the data set means that can be customized with the REALTOR®’s name and logo.

ClarusTM Investor, available April 1, is a property analysis tool that allows REALTORS® to help buyers who want to invest in real estate to obtain a quick picture of the property’s value and profit potential.  It also is available in combination with a basic training package to help REALTORS® become more comfortable discussing real estate investment options with their existing client base.
