Cash offers: Accelerating a first-time buyer’s ability to “win the deal”

Higher interest rates, record low inventory, rising home prices, and investors snapping up the most affordable housing – it feels like all the market conditions are working against first-time buyers. Then comes the news that zavvie, teaming with Luminate Home Loans and its NEO Home Loans, has been helping hundreds of first-time buyers (and others) break the bad-news cycle. By giving more buyers the opportunity to buy a home with a cash offer, there is some really good news – especially for first-time buyers. As a former loan officer for 8 ½ years – and from my time at Fannie [...]

REsides is Second Privately Owned MLS to Opt Out of NAR Settlement

A second privately owned MLS has opted out of the NAR Anti-Trust Settlement stating that their rules were always more transparent than the standard NAR rules. A truly broker-centric, independent MLS, Resides.io MLS in Hilton Head, South Carolina is launching an inclusive concessions field and options for brokers to upload listing and buyers broker agreements. The organization is also building forms to make it easier for brokers to adapt to the new changes removing compensation as one of the center points of an MLS.

Collabra Technology joins the CoreLogic® Real Estate Alliance Network

Since Homesnap was sunsetted, agents have missed the ability to seamlessly promote their listings directly from the MLS. Now with this new partnership between Corelogic and Collabra, users of MLS-Touch and Matrix will be able to promote their listings via digital advertising with one click right from inside two of their core tools. As days on market have started to increase and buyers are being more selective, the need to generate listing attention is ever greater. For Corelogic users, they will now have a seamless way to give their listings social media exposure without the cumbersome process of exporting their listing out of the MLS and into another system.  Great addition to the Corelogic Alliance Network in my view.

AI is a vital part of CoreLogic’s new Clareity Assure security platform for MLSs

Today, CoreLogic launched a vital and timely new security platform – Clareity Assure – now available to integrate as a front door to all MLS systems regardless of vendor. It is precisely the kind of protection MLSs need and must have in place. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for its adaptive authentication protection. It can identify suspicious activity and, most importantly, selectively deploy multi-factor authentication. By monitoring login activity in real time, it can automatically detect when login exceeds an acceptable risk threshold. Last year was a wakeup call for MLSs and security. The timing by CoreLogic could not [...]

Ben does it again: The world’s most productive agent invents SpecDeck for homebuilders

For almost a decade, we've been working with Ben Caballero, the No. 1-ranked real estate agent in the US since 2013 by RealTrends/HousingWire.

It will come as no surprise to people who follow Ben that he did it again last week. No, Ben didn’t announce a new record-breaking sales record. He's done that multiple times as the first agent to eclipse $1 billion, then $2 billion (several times), and finally $3 billion in sales in [...]
