Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Zillow is overpaying for homes. Guess why?

People are worried about Zillow. 5 homes it purchased and is now selling for a loss help explain why.

“But many suggested there were other motives at play, such as a faulty algorithm for home purchasing, as other iBuyers like Opendoor continue to buy homes amid the same labor shortages and market.”

Wait? You’re telling me the Zestimate is inaccurate??

MichRIC chooses to continue Lone Wolf’s zipForm as a member benefit

MichRIC® selects a suite of Lone Wolf Technologies products as a member benefit.

“With Transactions (zipForm Edition) being retired as a national member benefit at the end of 2021, MichRIC® has agreed to assume access to the Lone Wolf Technologies (“Lone Wolf”) product as a benefit for their subscriber base of around 8,500. The association has also added additional Lone Wolf products—LionDesk, Digital Ink®, MLS-Connect, and zipForm® Mobile—as benefits for their members.”

Lisa Mihelcich’s team at Lone Wolf is doing a great job. They are rapidly moving the needle as more and more state and large local associations are choosing to take over the NAR member benefit with Lone Wolf. I also love seeing LionDesk added to the mix. More and more cool integrations are happening for LionDesk and Cloud CMA. Great for Michigan REALTORS.

CoreLogic renames Matrix, Trestle, and Realist. Nobody knows why.

  • CoreLogic Listing Management Platform (Matrix™)
  • CoreLogic Property Insights Platform (Realist®)
  • CoreLogic Property Data Marketplace (Trestle™)

Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

Bright MLS, CRMLS, and MRED Announce Virtual “Hackathon”

Bright MLS, CRMLS, and MRED Announce Virtual “Hackathon” To Test the Boundaries of Innovation and Offer Feedback on Showing Services API

“CRMLS, Bright MLS, and MRED announced in June that they were working together to ensure scheduling showings remains a seamless part of the user experience. Their mission is to create a solution that encourages innovation and allows both existing and new entrants to work on a universal set of standards in the showing services arena.

The project’s goal is to place the choice of which showing services to use in the hands of brokers. All participants in the hackathon will receive documentation of the Hub interfaces (APIs) and access to a working Hub in the cloud. This will allow participants to build new integrations with the Hub and showcase the platform’s ability to unite showing services. “

The potential to add a showing service component to any software solution is great. Will we see a day where every feature in an MLS system becomes a microservice?
