Collabra Technology joins the CoreLogic® Real Estate Alliance Network

Since Homesnap was sunsetted, agents have missed the ability to seamlessly promote their listings directly from the MLS. Now with this new partnership between Corelogic and Collabra, users of MLS-Touch and Matrix will be able to promote their listings via digital advertising with one click right from inside two of their core tools. As days on market have started to increase and buyers are being more selective, the need to generate listing attention is ever greater. For Corelogic users, they will now have a seamless way to give their listings social media exposure without the cumbersome process of exporting their listing out of the MLS and into another system.  Great addition to the Corelogic Alliance Network in my view.

Maximizing MLS Tool Utilization: Tailoring Training for Power Users

It’s not at all unusual for MLS organizations to be disappointed by the limited adoption of MLS tools among top-producing members.

Is it time to trim the punitive tone off Compliance Communications?

MLS executives deeply understand the critical role compliance plays in maintaining data accuracy and integrity within their systems. Through the hundreds of thousands of subscribers we have surveyed via the WAV Group Customer Experience Index, we have noticed a correlation between the severity of the tone of compliance communications and overall MLS satisfaction.  The way that an MLS communicates compliance issues to its members can significantly impact their perception of the organization and the strength of their collaborative relationship. Finding the right balance between creating a sense of urgency and duty, and angering or frustrating subscribers is a very difficult line to draw.
