“Kim Everett, CEO of WARDEX, shared her excitement about this major step forward:
“We are thrilled to be at the forefront of innovation in the real estate industry. Requiring floor plans on every listing is the right thing to do for consumers, who deserve complete and consistent property information to help them in their home search. At WARDEX, we believe in making our market work better by improving the quality and consistency of the data and media we provide. This initiative ensures that Western Arizona homebuyers have the best possible experience while also empowering our agents with cutting-edge tools to enhance their listings.”

CubiCasa’s MLS Partnership Program reaches 100 MLS organizations

CubiCasa’s MLS Partnership Program Reaches 100 MLSs, Highlighting Industry Momentum Around Floor Plans

“This achievement underscores the growing recognition among MLSs that floor plans are essential to a better home search experience for consumers. By making floor plans easily accessible through their MLS, these 100 organizations are helping homebuyers make more informed decisions by providing a clearer picture of a property’s size, layout, and flow-critical details that photos alone often fail to convey.

Additionally, MLSs that join CubiCasa’s Partnership Program gain access to CubiCasa’s nationwide directory of real estate photographers who include floor plans as part of their shoots. This resource makes it easier than ever for agents to integrate floor plans into their listings, leveraging the growing trend of photographers offering floor plan creation services alongside traditional listing photography.”

If you are a Vendor Alley reader you know I’m a big supporter of floorpans being a mandatory requirement on the MLS. Great to see this progress happening.

CubiCasa

My thanks again to CubiCasa for sponsoring last month’s Vendor Alley. It was great to see the CubiCasa team at MLS Reset with Megan McFarlane of New Mexico MLS.

New Mexico Multiple Listing Service: Floor Plans Now Required for New Mexico Real Estate Listings

“At NMMLS, we are committed to delivering the highest quality data and media to consumers, and this initiative is a major step forward in achieving that goal. Requiring floor plans on listings ensures that every buyer in New Mexico has access to the tools they need to make better decisions. This move also ensures our brokers remain on the cutting edge, delivering a superior listing experience for their clients. NMMLS is proud to be a leader in this space and excited to set a new standard for our industry.”

Rad! I spoke about this back at CMLS in Seattle (which Vendor Alley sponsor and NMMLS partner CubiCasa have been promoting) and have been advocating for this for many years now. Great leadership is being shown here by Megan McFarlane and NMMLS.

Being the first to take this step is always the hardest, and I’m sure there will be challenges ahead. But it’s crucial that someone had the courage to lead the way. My hope is that this will be the domino that pushes the entire industry forward.

Congrats to Megan and NMMLS!

CubiCasa adds 5 more MLS organizations

CubiCasa Welcomes Five More MLS Organizations to its Growing MLS Partnership Program

“With the mission of putting a floor plan on every U.S. listing as the driving factor behind the creation of CubiCasa’s MLS Partnership Program, the company now has agreements with prominent MLS organizations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont and even Latin America.

“We’re thrilled with the number of MLS organizations that have joined our program to provide their agents with the tools needed to succeed in today’s evolving real estate environment,” said Jeff Allen, president of CubiCasa. “As we continue to bolster our program offering, we welcome MLSs that are looking to provide their members with an easy-to-use, free floor plan tool that will help them better serve their customers. Together we can make floor plans the new standard on home listings across the U.S.”

I recently spoke at the Tri-State MLS Summit and the subject of MLS data came up in the program’s Q&A portion, and floorplans were a big topic.

There is a real opportunity for an MLS Organization to go all in on floorplans. Think about it. I know many MLS execs trying to come up with solutions to help their membership and community. Who will be the first market that will have floorplans on all listings? It’s going to happen. The only question is “what MLS will do it first”?

Cubicasa and Georgia MLS announce partnership

CubiCasa and Georgia MLS announce floor plan partnership

Georgia MLS joined CubiCasa’s MLS partnership program, which the software company launched in December 2022. CubiCasa’s first contract was with PrimeMLS which operates in New England.

The program allows MLSs to access CubiCasa’s free floor plans. In addition to this, MLS members will receive discounts on optional add-on features like Fixed Furniture details, Digital GLA or expedited deliveries, digitized property information and a directory of real estate photographers, through the partnership.

Who wouldn’t want all listings to have floorplans attached? It makes so much sense. Let’s make this happen people!
