ShowingTime acquires 10K Research
More consolidation news, ShowingTime just acquired 10K Research.
10K Research and Marketing Joins ShowingTime
““Adding 10K’s wide array of research and marketing tools to ShowingTime’s offering will give customers an even greater ability to offer exceptional service and market knowledge to clients,” said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. “We look forward to providing additional capabilities to customers over time.”
Congrats to Scott and Mike. I know Greg and the team at 10K have to be super excited!
Move, Inc acquires Reesio
“Reesio provides brokers and agents with a platform to collaborate and communicate with home buyers and sellers, mortgage professionals, title and escrow companies, inspectors and other service providers, making the transaction process transparent and speeding communication to relevant parties. Reesio’s secure online platform allows collaborators to share, edit, sign and store transaction documents such as offer letters, inspection reports, and loan information in one place, and helps brokers and agents to reduce transaction errors and risk by allowing workflow templates to guide the steps and requirements for closing.”
The industry consolidation continues…
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. I don’t think Reesio was generating much cash, so this deal was an obvious strategic deal to counter Zillow Group’s acquisition of dotloop.
I’ve written about Reesio and their CEO Mark Thomas before. They hustle and Move needs that kind of spirt to compete.
So, congrats to Mark and his team on an successful “exit”.
1000watt partners with Lion & Orb
Some of my favorite people in the industry are getting together to help real estate related business in the PR game.
Audie Chamberlain (former Director of Social Media Marketing at realtor.com) recently started, Lion & Orb, a public relations agency with a lot of big clients in the luxury real estate space. Brian, Joel, Marc and the rest of the team at 1000watt are great storytellers. They help brokerages and other real estate industry companies get their message out, above the noise.
“1000watt has developed brand messaging for many companies, but has never offered public and media relations to its clients. The alliance with Lion & Orb enables 1000watt to extend its services in this area with a trusted partner. Lion & Orb will continue to maintain its own client roster, but will work closely with 1000watt.”
