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.

Wanna go down an AI rabbit hole for a while? Check out REimagineHome. You simply upload an image of a room you want to redecorate or the exterior of a home you want to re-landscape, and REimagineHome will magically render different layouts and design options using their AI technology.
I uploaded a photo of a room at our studio, and it completely reimagined the space with a whole new vibe. It’s mind-blowing.
Styldod’s tech powers REimagineHome, and it’s easy to see how powerful it is. You can also imagine how this kind of technology could be used proactively to help with compliance issues before they happen.

Rechat Doubles Revenue, Triples Customer Base, Grows Team and Introduces New Tools
“Celebrating its 10th year in business, Rechat is redefining how real estate professionals work by integrating AI across every part of the transaction. The platform offers a fully connected experience from lead to close, combining CRM, marketing automation, design, digital advertising, and smart transaction management into one single interface. With over 16,000 users, 75% average CRM adoption and expanding partnerships with top national brokerages, Rechat is setting a new standard for how agents engage with clients and grow their business.”
I see two (maybe three) camps forming:
Rechat looks like they’re getting a few things right. I’m especially impressed with their team. I’ve chatted with Rechat founder and CEO Shayan Hamidi and seen him speak. I also worked with Shaun Harkley at Lone Wolf, he’s a solid sales leader. And of course, newly added Audie Chamberlain is one of my favorite people in the industry.
The new kids seem to be chasing the same things the old kids were chasing: the elusive “all-in-one” product. Maybe Rechat’s “Super App” is a better path. And I wonder if AI is the key to actually making that happen?
REcore and Lundy Partner to Bring Navigator AI to MLSs Nationwide
“REcore already serves MLSs with tools that simplify compliance, track member issues, and streamline operations. Navigator fits naturally into this ecosystem—helping staff and members get the answers they need, when they need them. As an exclusive reseller, REcore will bring Navigator to a broader market faster, while Lundy continues to focus on building and evolving the product.”
Navigator AI is a great product. Justin and his team have been in this space of awhile and know the pain points that MLS and association have regarding support, rules, and data. Like a lot of AI tools it seems like magic. I think the possibilities are endless. I’m sure Katie Smithson of RECore would love to give you a demo.
“Afordal solves one of the biggest pain points in residential real estate: aligning what homebuyers want with what they can afford,” said Brad Springer, Co-President of RatePlug.
He adds, “Afordal unites home search and financing to give buyers a clear path forward, allowing professionals to engage their customers more effectively.”
With Rocket buying Redfin and Mr. Cooper and Lower acquiring Movoto, the trend is clearly toward an “all-in-one” platform driven by mortgage. From what I gather, Afordal lets agents, brokers, and loan professionals create an IDX website based on affordability (see what they did there?). It also comes with a CRM, a Homebot-style drip nurturing campaign, and some social media campaign management.
Brad Springer has been in the industry for a while, and it’s great to see that he and his team are still innovating
UtahRealEstate.com’s Newest Company, reDataExport, Signs NorthstarMLS as its First Customer
“Founded in January 2025 by UtahRealEstate.com, reDataExport aims to transform real estate data distribution by providing an efficient platform to supply real estate information to those who need multiple listing service (“MLS”) data for research, statistics, and analytics. MLSs across the nation often receive requests from government agencies, universities, economists, and research companies that need access to specific MLS data for market research and legislative analysis. With the reDataExport product, NorthstarMLS will be able to license data to these types of entities and provide the data without having to give full access to their MLS system, ensuring the confidentiality and data integrity of the MLS system”
Love these types of solutions. Simple, solves a problem, and easy to implement. I bet it’s pretty inexpensive too. Might be an easy way for others to support MLS led tech. I’m sure either Brad or Casey would love to chat.
Ocusell Partners with Restb.ai to Enhance FMLS Listings with Built-In AI
“This partnership embeds Restb.ai’s advanced computer vision technology directly into Ocusell, giving agents and brokers powerful time-saving tools while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and reliability,” said Hayden Rieveschl, CEO and Founder of Ocusell.”
This space is heating up.
SkySlope and Real Geeks Partner to Deliver Seamless Workflows for Real Estate Agents
” SkySlope, a leader in real estate transaction management, has partnered with Real Geeks, a high-converting real estate CRM and marketing platform, to launch a powerful new integration that simplifies and unifies the agent experience—from first contact to final signature—without ever leaving the Real Geeks platform.”
I think it’s a good idea for any vendor trying to be a platform to let other applications work seamlessly with their tools. Lone Wolf does this well, as do others. I had a chance to chat with Chris Morgan, VP of Sales at Real Geeks about this integration.
“At the end of the day, agents didn’t get into this business to juggle platforms—they got in to help people navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives,” said Chris Morgan, VP of Sales at Real Geeks. “This integration with SkySlope is about honoring that by removing the noise. We’re not trying to be everything—we’re trying to be the right things, deeply connected, where and when agents need them. The real win here is simplicity. When tools talk to each other and workflows disappear into the background, agents can be more present, more responsive, and ultimately more successful. That’s the kind of progress we’re proud to be a part of.”
Love that quote, “We’re not trying to be everything—we’re trying to be the right things”.
Audie Chamberlain named Rechat head of growth, communications
“Chamberlain has long been a vocal advocate for real estate agents and their evolution through smart marketing and technology. He’s led public outreach campaigns for the likes of Concierge Auctions, Luxury Portfolio, Hawaii Life, Contactually and Zillow, among others. The relationship with Rechat developed after Chamberlain was hired to advise Hamidi on new ways to broaden the company’s national presence.”
Audie is one of the good ones. Excited to see what’s next for Rechat.
