CoreLogic offers “private” solution for CCP concerns

Technical Capabilities Can Help the Real Estate Industry Navigate Clear Cooperation

“Matrix and Trestle can be used together to support MLSs, brokers and industry players regardless of which direction the Clear Cooperation policy is decided, for example:

-Listings marked as private will be suppressed from broader syndication
-Broker’s agents enter all their listings into the MLS system (Matrix)
-The Broker’s agent chooses the appropriate status when entering a listing, including a ‘private’ status
-Matrix is able to include their ‘private listing’ into the data feed back to the appropriate broker in near real time (via Trestle)
-Listings marked private remain private to the broker, and only that broker
-Listings marked as private are only available in any searches by the broker’s own agents or the broker’s agents’ clients.”

Devi Mateti, President, Enterprise Digital Solutions at CoreLogic

Obviously, each MLS would have to approve this solution, but I like the concept. I had a discussion with another vendor about this, and he pointed out that even beyond CCP, there are still mandatory submission requirements. However, I think brokerages like Compass are signaling that they don’t want to deal with those requirements either.

So yes, this does make it easier for brokerages to implement private networks, which I still oppose. But I believe it’s better to use the MLS system to do so. Why? Well, the data will be cleaner when it’s entered, and if the listing sells off-MLS, it can be added to the MLS system with a simple status change. I think if the listing is first entered into some random private network software, adding it to the MLS later might be an afterthought, leading to incomplete or inaccurate data.

Another point Devi’s post touches on is a glimpse into CoreLogic’s strategy if the whole MLS industry collapses.

Arab MLS introduces Matrix MLS platform

Arab MLS and CoreLogic Collaborate to Revolutionize Real Estate in the Arab Region

“A comprehensive project was swiftly executed to extend the Matrix platform to support Arabic, ensuring the user experience meets the expectations of Arabic speakers for an intuitive, modern web application. This involved a complete redesign of the UX, including the layout of reports, displays, and screens. Arabic speakers expect navigation elements, icons, and various features to be oriented and function differently compared to English speakers. These capabilities were successfully introduced in July in the Egypt MLS, powered by Arab MLS and CoreLogic. Arab MLS plans to launch in the UAE before year end.”

I wonder if they added “Palace” as a new property type.

CoreLogic launches OneHomeowner

CoreLogic Launches OneHomeowner – A New Engagement Platform for Agents to Nurture Relationships and Win Business 

“Today’s clients have portals to manage their healthcare, personal finances and education, but there isn’t anything to manage their home,” said Kevin Greene, general manager of Real Estate Solutions at CoreLogic. “CoreLogic solves this problem with OneHomeowner. Just as importantly, it gives agents an effective tool to ​stay connected in a valuable way ​and deliver an exceptional ​homeowner ​experience to their clients ​for years​.”

With housing inventory levels still at record lows it is going to be important that brokers and agents look at other avenues to retain and grow their business. I think there is a tremendous opportunity for agents who go beyond just the buy and sell aspect of their business and look for opportunities on the nurture side too. They already have their trust, what other services can they provide?

Well earned. Congratulations my friend!

CoreLogic announces Clareity Assure

CoreLogic Unveils Clareity Assure for Advanced MLS Security featuring Adaptive Authentication

“Security is one of the top issues on the minds of every MLS leader today,” said Shaleen Khatod, Executive, Enterprise Strategy & Initiatives for CoreLogic. “CoreLogic is re-writing the MLS defense book for safeguarding MLS systems and data against threats like ransomware and cyber-attacks. This includes Clareity Assure adaptive authentication meticulously analyzing user behavior patterns. It can identify and stop bad actors while ensuring authorized users get the safe, secure and frictionless access they need.”

Sounds like an add-on for the Clareity Dashboard. I do find it interesting they are continuing to use the “Clareity” moniker. I’d be interested to find out how this would help with ransom-ware attacks that seem to be on the rise in our industry.

Bravo. I have to say CoreLogic’s acquisition of Prospects Software was super smart. Add to that the timing of CoStar’s acquisition of Homesnap (and their failure to resign the BPP) along with a well executed sales strategy and you get these results. Big congrats to Charles, Kevin and the rest of the team.
