MetroList Launches Voice-Enabled App to Simplify Listing Entry for Agents

Congrats to Dave Howe and the team at MetroList, Northern California’s largest MLS, for investing in making it easier for agents to work with the MLS. Lundy, the latest addition to the Metrolist suite of technologies, allows agents to create and update listings directly from the property site using just their voice.  With the removal of Compensation as a core benefit, smart MLSs are finding other ways to earn their monthly subscriptions and tap into the capabilities of AI to deliver increased value.

Home Services By Referral Only: The Hidden Network of Elite Contractors

Perhaps the most surprising discovery was how few Realtors fully leverage this powerful network they've cultivated. While most real estate professionals maintain connections with quality contractors, many underestimate the tremendous value this network represents to clients.

AI is becoming the Rosetta Stone for real estate data and value insights

As a data junkie, I've often wondered why, in a data-rich industry like real estate, do so many decisions still rely on incomplete or inconsistent information? The answer lies not in a lack of data but in our inability to apply the resources necessary to see what the data shows. That’s where artificial intelligence is beginning to usher in a new era of insight. AI’s most transformative role in our industry may not be content creation, automation, or even marketing. It’s interpretation. It’s AI’s ability to extract, clarify, and illuminate the hidden signals in data that the human eye either [...]

New WAV Group study highlights significant brokerage interest in centralized information centers.

Over 70% of brokerages offer at least 4 technologies and 45% offer 7 or more technologies. 7 or more log-ins on seven different websites make it nearly impossible for an agent to remember where to find all of the tools. Without a centralized view and nothing getting pushed to agents regularly to remind them to attend training, try a new product or learn a new feature, brokerage technologies are under utilized.

How do you get potential sellers to move off the fence?

    Americans are sitting on a record $17 trillion in home equity in the US. According to Cotality, the average homeowner has over $300,000 in wealth locked up in their homes. What if real estate agents could help their potential sellers see how they could increase their net proceeds by $100,000 or more? What if agents could reach out to past clients and "wow" them with a free AI tool that reveals how they can maximize the price of their home by leveraging the newest – and perhaps most powerful way – to sell a home?

A New Report: Presale renovation is moving from niche to mainstay – and AI is leading the way

Most agents sat on the sidelines when virtual tours made their debut. Now, they are ubiquitous. Back in the mid to late 1990s, when virtual tours were primarily used for luxury listings, they felt clunky and slow, and often required buyers to download special browser plugins just to view a listing. I remember vividly IPIX and its 360 virtual tour tech at the first mainstream Inman Real Estate Connect at the San Francisco Hilton. It wowed the crowd but cost $1000 a tour. Most agents initially looked at virtual tours as a marketing gimmick until around 2010. Fast forward to [...]

OneKey MLS and Ocusell partner to deliver streamlined listing tools

Every agent wants a faster and better way to enter listings accurately and ways to maximize the engagement and marketability of their listings. Agents are busy and do not always take the time to be sure they have done everything to put the property’s best foot forward.
