Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

ARMLS chooses CheckMate

VestaPlus™ Expands AI-Powered CheckMate™ Licensing Across the U.S.

“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with ARMLS and look forward to working together. Licensing CheckMate™ to both large and small MLS organizations validates our mission of providing scalable, forward-looking technology tailored to each organization’s needs,” said Annie Ives, CEO of VestaPlus™ “With AI built into our compliance tools, MLSs can manage data integrity more effectively and deliver lasting value to their members — whether they serve 42,000 members or just a few hundred.”

Big win for MLS led tech and for Annie and VestaPlus. Congrats!

Lone Wolf partners with Follow Up Boss (FUB)

Lone Wolf Technologies Partners with Follow Up Boss to streamline workflows

“Real estate agents and teams often face inefficiencies caused by disconnected tools and processes. By integrating Follow Up Boss with Foundation—including solutions like Boost, Cloud CMA, Transact, and Back Office—agents can now manage their businesses more efficiently, while maintaining a strong focus on customer experience.

“Our mission has always been to empower real estate professionals by providing tools that simplify their daily operations and allow them to focus on what they do best,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO at Lone Wolf Technologies. “This partnership represents our commitment to open, collaborative solutions that bring value to all agents, brokers, and teams.”

Even companies like Lone Wolf, which are aiming for an end-to-end solution, know they are not going to get everyone to use all their tools. This is especially true when it comes to a CRM. CRM adoption is tough, and once people get used to one, they tend to stick with it.

So I think it is both pragmatic and smart for Lone Wolf to take this path. I know other software vendors take a different approach, trying to lock you into their entire ecosystem or forcing you to use tools like Zapier to integrate.

Kudos to Lone Wolf and Follow Up Boss for making it easier for agents to integrate the tools they already love.

FMLS chooses Lone Wolf in 5 year deal

Lone Wolf Technologies and FMLS forge strategic partnership to revolutionize transaction management for 60,000+ real estate professionals

“In a significant development for the real estate technology sector, Lone Wolf Technologies and First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) have announced a groundbreaking five-year strategic partnership. This collaboration will bring Lone Wolf’s trusted TransactionDesk platform, including the industry-leading Authentisign eSignature solution, to FMLS’s more than 60,000 members. “

Absolutely huge deal for both parties. There’s been a bit of a logjam in deals like this in our space. I get to meet and work with a lot of great companies and talented people who love real estate technology and want to innovate.

I hope this is a sign that things are getting back to a place where we see more companies investing in the future so all this wonderful talent can be put to good use.

Good to see Brian Tepfer continue to get traction with PropSteam. I think it’s a great way for MLS organizations to offer their members choice in generating more business. I got a demo from, Jessica Richardson, PropStream’s Head of Industry Relations, and was impressed with their platform.

Orlando Realtor Association switches to SentriLock

Orlando Regional Realtor Association Selects SentriLock as New Lockbox Service Provider

“Our members expect cutting-edge technology that effortlessly syncs with their mobile devices and other systems,” noted ORRA CEO Cliff Long. “After a thorough and lengthy evaluation by our volunteer REALTOR® leadership and members, we discovered that SentriLock is not only user-friendly, but also boasts top-tier security features, safeguarding both property access information and the agent showing the property. Given that our consumers trust us with their homes, it’s important we provide the highest level of security possible.”

SentriLock

Nice win. I’m hearing this could equate to over 35,000 lockboxes, Yowza!

The Queen’s Gambit

Annie Ives, CEO of VestaPlus

San Diego MLS Selects VestaPlus to Increase Data Integrity and Add AI Compliance with Checkmate

“The removal of offers of compensation from MLS represents a watershed moment of change for our industry,” Annie Ives, the CEO of VestaPlus, said in a statement. “As an MLS operator and vendor, it is vitally important that we implement new compliance tools that will enable the transition for real estate agents and brokers in the best possible way. We are anxious to partner with our MLS peers to implement these services for the benefit of our industry professionals.”

Annie Ives, CEO of VestaPlus

I’ve been working with a lot of MLS organizations that have been branching out into the vendor space. It can be humbling. You build a solution that really helps your MLS solve a big problem. The natural thing to think is, “I bet other MLS orgs have this same problem.” So you go to market. And that’s where the fun begins.

It’s hard to find a way to win. You need to have the right pieces in place. For Annie Ives, I think a key part is having a timely solution, and the addition of some key talent. Enter Kelly Robinson. It’s great to see their continued success together. The recent announcements of Staten Island and SDAR switching to Checkmate are good wins, and I’m hearing there are several other announcements ahead. It’s great to see Annie’s persistence pay off.

VestaPlus’s Checkmate adds new partner

Annie Ives, CEO of VestaPlus™, shared, “We are excited to support Staten Island MLS with their goals of enhancing MLS data accuracy and streamlining internal processes.”

VestaPlus is making some moves!

ARMLS adds Cloud CMA as a member benefit

Lone Wolf Technologies partners with Arizona Regional MLS

“In any market, and especially in one where buyers and sellers may not be entirely sure of what they can expect, it’s imperative for real estate agents to be able to demonstrate that they know and understand what’s happening,” said ARMLS’s James Marcus in a statement. “With this new Cloud CMA benefit from Lone Wolf, our agents will have a key resource in showing clients the expertise that will set them apart from the competition.”

ARMLS

What I think a lot of people forget is that Cloud CMA can be used as a lead generation tool. Congrats to Lone Wolf and ARMLS.
