Revive Adds First-of-its-Kind Neighborhood Report Feature to Vision AI, Transforming Real Estate Valuations with AI-Driven Condition Analysis
IRVINE, Calif., May 14, 2024 – Most homeowners understand that updating and renovating their home could help them earn more money at its sale, but because "seeing is believing," they might be hesitant to commit to such a big project. Now real estate agents can leverage AI to show home sellers how a pre-sale renovation could help their home command its highest sales price. The newest AI enhancement comes from pre-sale renovation leader Revive, which today announced their new Neighborhood Report. This "groundbreaking feature takes CMA data analysis to the next level and is now part of Revive Vision AI." According to Dalip Jaggi, co-founder of Revive, Neighborhood Report uses advanced AI to provide real estate agents and homeowners with unprecedented condition insights into the homes that recently sold in a neighborhood. "Our release of Vision AI last year was a fresh, groundbreaking use of how computer vision can be used in real estate. This feature of Vision AI provides powerful insights without the need for photos of the property but rather focuses on using computer vision on the recent sales [comps] to bring condition insights to a specific neighborhood," Jaggi said. "It still leverages the same computer vision models to enable agents to instantly show sellers a factual, data-backed analysis showcased in an easy-to-understand summary. This creates a foundation for a discussion about home values." Vision AI's new Neighborhood Report can be an invaluable tool for real estate agents, helping homeowners and past clients keep tabs on their property's value. For a limited time, homeowners can test out the online version of Neighborhood Reports here. Mansoor Bahramand, Revive's Chief Technology Officer and in-house AI expert, notes that Revive's mission to improve its AI offerings focuses on helping agents win more listings. "We're building world-class AI solutions at Revive to help agents deliver more value to sellers and potentially buyers, too," he said. "Demonstrating agent value has never been more important," he added. Bahramand explains that the Neighborhood Analysis section gives homes a score from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. This score looks at key areas like the condition of the home, the outside area, bathrooms, kitchen, and the rest of the interior. The tool uses artificial intelligence to compare these scores with similar homes. Additionally, there's a Neighborhood Condition Score that uses computer vision to review pictures of homes' exteriors and interiors from recent sales and combines them with market data to assign a letter grade from A to F, with A being the best condition. Key benefits of the Neighborhood Report feature for real estate agents: Objective neighborhood analysis: Agents gain access to an unbiased assessment of the overall neighborhood quality with a letter grade based on the condition of recently sold homes, enabling them to provide sellers with a realistic market snapshot. Comparative home condition insights: The feature equips agents with comparative data to help homeowners understand how their property's condition measures up to homes recently sold in the area, guiding informed decisions on potential improvements. Data-Backed Pre-Sale Renovation Discussions: Neighborhood Report offers agents a powerful tool for evidence-based discussions on the ROI of pre-sale renovations, aiding homeowners in realizing the value of bringing their property to top condition, with the goal of maximizing their sales price. Competitive Advantage for Early Adopters: Early adopting agents using Neighborhood Report demonstrate their market expertise, providing superior service to their clients and setting themselves apart. Availability The Neighborhood Report feature is now available to all Revive Vision AI users, accessible via both the desktop platform and mobile application. Real estate professionals interested in integrating this cutting-edge tool into their workflow can visit revivevision.ai to learn more or request a demo. About Revive Revive Real Estate partners with real estate professionals to provide the funding, guidance, and contractors needed to get strategic pre-sale renovations done fast and for maximum value.

W+R Studios announces results of inaugural '2020 Survey of Best Practices for CMAs and Listing Presentations'

This survey gives agents an inside peek at the best practices of what goes into creating a winning CMA," stated Frances Wiseman, Director of Marketing for W+R Studios. The survey ran during the current global pandemic from May 18th to May 31st. Agents were also asked about the virtualization of listing presentations and the relevance of CMAs in the future.

But it also seeks to bring light to the best practices of agents when doing a listing presentation," stated W+R Studios co-founder Greg Robertson.

W+R Studios announces RESO Web API compatibility with all Cloud Agent Suite products
Company will no longer accept RETS feeds for new MLS integrations. Cloud CMA and all other products in the Cloud Agent Suite now live with RESO Web API integration in ABOR's MLS June 4, 2019 (HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA) - Real estate software company, W+R Studios, announced compatibility with its Cloud Agent Suite line of products and the RESO Web API. The Cloud Agent Suite is the complete line of W+R Studios' popular software products for real estate professionals including Cloud CMA, Cloud Streams, Cloud MLX, and Cloud Attract. W+R Studios is an industry leader developing software solutions that leverage MLS data to improve and streamline fundamental real estate functions such as creating CMA reports, sending listing alerts, and searching the MLS. "We want to help move the industry forward," stated W+R Studios co-founder and CEO Greg Robertson. "This six month initiative has now borne fruit. We now have compatibility with the three major interfaces for the Web API, CoreLogic's Trestle, Zillow's Bridge Interactive and FBS' Spark platform. We are now live in production using the RESO Web API with the Austin MLS" continued Mr. Robertson. This recent milestone was first presented last month at the Real Estate Standards Organization's Spring Technology Summit held in Boise, ID. "By committing to this new standard, the team at W+R Studios has shown a tremendous amount of leadership," stated Sam DeBord, CEO of RESO. "Serving brokers, agents, and consumers with the best possible tools and insights requires the industry to continually upgrade its technology. W+R Studios is investing in RESO standards and lighting the path for others to follow." "While implementing RESO's Web API is a no-brainer for new vendors, existing vendors who have spent time, money and resources on platforms designed for RETS are going to be slower to adopt." stated Jon Druse, Engineering Director at W+R Studios. "We think by being one of the first not to accept new RETS feeds, we can push all vendors forward and help usher in the future." As part of this initiative, W+R Studios has partnered with RESO to provide open source libraries that vendors can use to help ease their transition to Web API. W+R Studios created a Ruby library for connecting to RESO WEB API Servers which can be found at https://github.com/wrstudios/reso_web_api.

Cloud CMA's new feature, iBuyer Connect, leads to successful home transactions for subscribers
W+R Studios also announces patent filed on proprietary method of connecting CMA software and iBuyers, and increases coverage by launching new Cloud CMA nationwide. HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (October 30, 2018) - Real estate software company W+R Studios announced today that Cloud CMA agents have successfully sold multiple properties using Cloud CMA's new feature "iBuyerConnect," previously called Cloud Investor Connect. The company also announced it now has a patent pending on this method. iBuyer Connect is a feature of the redesigned Cloud CMA. During the process of creating a Cloud CMA, if the subject property meets the requirements of an iBuyer, a message appears asking the agent if they would like to request a cash offer. If the agent agrees they may be able to present the home seller a CMA and a cash offer at the listing presentation. "We began running a test back in August with iBuyer Connect in Southern California with a limited number of zip codes," stated Greg Robertson, co-founder of W+R Studios. "We are extremely happy to announce that in this short time Cloud CMA agents have already completed three transactions with another three offers accepted and in the process of closing,"continued Mr. Robertson. "This small test was just the beginning, we have learned so much, and our agents are loving it." "The experience was just awesome. After creating a Cloud CMA and requesting an offer I was contacted by an investor," stated Murrieta based agent and CRMLS member, Briar Warren. "The investor was super helpful and I was able to present the seller with a cash offer, which they then accepted. The process couldn't be any easier. I love Cloud CMA," concluded Ms Warren. Nationwide, Cloud CMA agents generate over 260,000 CMAs per month. A CMA report is done at the request of a home sellers by an agent, so sellers involved in iBuyer Connect are considered high intent. This group of high intent home sellers make it the largest aggregation of iBuyer leads in the country. "With Cloud CMA and iBuyer Connect we are giving any agent in the country the ability to participate in this fast growing iBuyer marketplace," concluded Mr. Robertson. There is no extra cost to the agent for using iBuyer Connect. Compensation varies by iBuyer and market. The iBuyer will review terms with agents when an offer is requested. Access to iBuyer Connect is expanding. Interested iBuyers can find out more information and request access to the iBuyer Connect API at CloudAgentSuite.com/iBuyerConnect.

Redfin Launches Tech-Powered Comparative Market Analysis Tool to Help Its Agents Accurately and Quickly Price Homes
SEATTLE--Redfin, the next-generation real estate brokerage, today launched the Redfin Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) tool for Redfin's agents to give our home-selling clients the most accurate home pricing recommendations based on recent local sales and homebuyer demand. "Pricing a home correctly is the most important factor in a successful home sale, and the number one thing on a seller's mind is — how much?" said Karen Krupsaw, vice president of real estate operations. "The Redfin CMA gives home sellers confidence in our recommendation because it combines the power of data with the expertise of the agent, and presents it all in a transparent, easy-to-understand format." The Redfin CMA tool is built upon the algorithm that powers Redfin Estimate, the brokerage's automated home valuation tool that uses the most up-to-date data available on home listings and sales from the Multiple Listing Service. In addition to showing photos and detailed information about comparable homes and the local market, the Redfin CMA shows the seller the number of homebuyers currently searching for a home like theirs in their neighborhood. This is data that only Redfin can provide because, with the most visited brokerage website, Redfin is the only brokerage tracking buyers' online search, tour and offer activity at scale. "When I sit with potential sellers in their living room and say, 'There are 245 buyers looking for a home like yours.' They are wowed," said Roddy de la Garza, a Redfin agent in Los Angeles. "The Redfin CMA tool supports my price recommendation with the best data available so I can show sellers how I will get them top dollar for their home." More than half of homebuyers and sellers want their agent to use the latest technology, according to a Redfin-commissioned survey of more than 2,000 people who had bought or sold a home in the past year. Redfin home-selling customers also have access the Redfin Home Dashboard, a comprehensive online resource that guides sellers through every step of their sale. The Home Dashboard gives sellers real-time data on how many people are viewing their property online, what their Redfin agent is currently doing to market their home and what the next steps are in the selling process, including reminders about important tasks to complete. Redfin listings get prominent placement on Redfin.com and a targeted digital marketing program, resulting in three times as many views on Redfin.com compared to other similar listings. In 2015, homes listed with Redfin sold for an average of $4,300 more and were 15 percent more likely to sell within 90 days than similar homes listed by other brokerages. Redfin Technology Boosts Agent Efficiency The Redfin CMA tool helps agents work smarter, allowing them to prepare professional, customized CMAs even from a mobile device when they are on the go. An agent working with a buyer can quickly prepare a comprehensive CMA immediately following a home tour to help inform a homebuyer's offer strategy. The tool helps agents by auto-suggesting comparable homes ("comparables") using the Redfin Estimate algorithm. Agents can use suggested comparables and input their own comparables for a customized analysis. As agents use the tool and select comparables, the tool will integrate that feedback and continue to get smarter and refine its suggestions. "Like all of the technology Redfin offers, this tool was built as a collaboration between Redfin engineers and agents," said de la Garza.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (March 24, 2015) – Software company W&R Studios announced today that their flagship product, Cloud CMA, will now include agent ratings and reviews from two top sites: RealSatisfied and Zillow. Today's real estate consumers hold agent ratings and reviews in high regard when sourced from these two industry leaders. RealSatisfied is quickly becoming the go-to source for agent reviews in MLS systems and real estate franchises nationwide. Their platform allows agents to collect client testimonials and send performance surveys. This process allows for honest client and agent communication in an effort to identify areas of agent improvement and streamline real estate transactions. "Our clients are always looking for ways to leverage the written recommendations we collect as a byproduct of our customer satisfaction surveys," says Jeff Turner, President of RealSatisfied. "Many of them indicated a desire to have their recommendations automatically syndicate to CloudCMA and part of property reports. We're excited to see this come to fruition. It simply makes the agent's job easier." Cloud CMA will also allow agents to add their agent ratings and reviews on Zillow into their reports. Zillow is the largest real estate search engine in the United States with over 86 million users. In addition, over 1 million consumer-submitted reviews of real estate agent professionals have been created on Zillow alone. "We decided to offer agent ratings and reviews from RealSatisfied and Zillow to further deliver our Cloud CMA users with the tools they need to turn more prospects into clients. Reviews and ratings from these two sites are highly regarded and trusted by consumers and will bring credibility to our users," stated Greg Robertson, co-founder of W&R Studios.

Cloud CMA Hits 1 Million Reports Published
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (September 19, 2013) - Web-software company, W&R Studios announced today that their flagship product, Cloud CMA, hit one million reports published and plans to celebrate at Council of MLS (CMLS) 2013 conference in Boise, ID, October 2nd – 4th. Cloud CMA is a web-based report generating software designed for real estate professionals to easily create custom client handouts for buyers and sellers. Report sets include a comparative market analysis (CMA), buyer tour, property report, and flyers. Cloud CMA merges data from the MLS with various web sources such as WalkScore, Yelp, Panaramio and more to generate content rich reports. "One million reports is really an amazing milestone. When Dan [Woolley] and I first launched Cloud CMA back in 2010, I don't think either of us imagined this kind of impact," says Greg Robertson, co-founder of W&R Studios, the creators of Cloud CMA. Real estate professional, Tania Urbano, of Keller Williams Realty (Mission Viejo, CA), was the Cloud CMA subscriber who published the one millionth report. To recognize this real estate agent, representatives from Cloud CMA proudly awarded her with an iPad mini at her office's weekly team meeting. Cloud CMA is accessible from any computer or mobile device regardless of brand. Real estate professionals can generate and automatically share a Cloud CMA report with a client by simply sending an email. Reports are stored in 'the cloud' and generate a shareable link to their location that agents can easily share via email, social media channels, and websites or blogs. "We could not have achieved such a milestone without the support of our MLS partners and their memberships," concluded Mr. Robertson. "As the popularity of Cloud CMA increases we are sure to hit the second million published reports a lot sooner than the first." W&R Studios will be attending CMLS 2013 next week and plans to celebrate this milestone by offering free commemorative "One Million CMAs Can't Be Wrong" Cloud CMA swag. All attendees of CMLS 2013 are invited to stop by the booth to participate.

Cloud CMA adds a Seller's Net Sheet
We are pleased to announce the addition of a Sellers Net Sheet to Cloud CMA. We heard the feedback of our community, who repeatedly expressed interest in this feature, so we put our developers on it. The Sellers Net Sheet is available to all levels of membership as a free Cloud CMA enhancement. What's a Seller's Net Sheet? It is a worksheet that breaks down the costs and expenses of selling a home to estimates the "net" dollar amount that a seller will receive after the sale. Why use a Seller's Net Sheet? Aside from the obvious reason – to show your seller how much they will take home at the end of the sale – this sheet is a useful tool for client education and expectation management. By educating a client on the different necessary costs associated with buying or selling their home, expectations of what they will 'net' can be managed more effectively. How to create a Seller's Net Sheet in Cloud CMA: 1. Under the "Listings" step of CMA customization, enter a Suggested List Price in the field circled below and click Update. 2. When the Net Sheet appears under the Suggested Listing Price, click "add row" 3. Type the expense name in the new column, add a dollar amount, and click Save Net Sheet Items 4. Now in the Customize step, you will see a page tab called "Sellers net sheet". Drag and drop that page bar to indicate where you'd like the page to appear in your report. Finish your other customizations and click Publish. Your Net Sheet will appear in your report and look like this: To view the original post, visit the Cloud CMA blog.
