Bridge Interactive announces updates to modern real estate API
New Bridge API release, ParityPlus, combines all the functionality of RETS with the simplicity of an API, enabling more innovation SEATTLE, July 12, 2018 -- Bridge Interactive, a technology company focused on helping real estate brokers, MLSs, agents and software developers innovate more rapidly with real estate data, today announced a milestone release to its Bridge API, called ParityPlus, that brings all the functionality currently found in RETS to Bridge's well-documented web API. ParityPlus is a significant release because it combines what many MLSs value about the older industry standard, RETS - customization, most notably - with the speed, familiarity and scalability of a modern Web API. The net effect will be to increase the ease with which real estate data is distributed, secured, shared and built upon. For MLSs, that means Bridge API now will enable them to build custom data feeds and more tightly define what information is conveyed to specific data recipients. It will also add functionality that gives them more control and fewer limitations. With ParityPlus, Bridge tasked its team of developers to bring all the functionality found in RETS to Bridge API, and add even more on top of it. "We're excited about the new Bridge API release because the industry now has all the functionality they formerly were used to getting with RETS and combines it with the modern simplicity of an API," said Turan Tekin, Director of MLS and Industry Development at Zillow® Group. "The industry now has a meaningful choice as to which RESO transport will best help create better tools." RESO, which stands for Real Estate Standards Organization, is a nonprofit standards organization focused on real estate data standards and processes. "Bridge is a staunch supporter, leader and advocate of RESO industry standards, and we applaud the innovation and enhancements they've brought to their RESO Web API tool," said Jeremy Crawford, CEO of RESO. "As the first to receive Platinum certification, Bridge has demonstrated to the industry the value of RESO and how new features can add real power to their API. Progress like this helps drive API adoption, and as Bridge continues to innovate, we hope it will encourage others to do the same." Bridge API now allows MLSs to: Control data feeds with the same level of granularity they are accustomed to with traditional RETS feeds Easily customize the way they approve data access Have unlimited field payloads, including custom/native fields beyond RESO Data Dictionary See exactly what data has been mapped for API consumption Combine any number of field conditions to specify which records the user has access to Suppress any field values, based on condition (e.g., if status is pending, hide these fields) Customize any restrictions on an application by application basis Give end users transparency into how their data access has been configured, so they know what data they can access Control whether an end user is only allowed to query data on the fly, or perform complete dataset replication The updates to Bridge API represent a significant milestone in real estate development, marking a movement away from RETS and toward more modern, web APIs. If you're interested in learning more about the new Bridge API features, visit us at Zillow Group's Inman Connect San Francisco booth July 17-20.

Unified Feeds: The 'Big Why'
I've been traveling around America the past few months talking about the great work CoreLogic® is doing to usher in the new era of unified listing feeds. But it dawns on me. The "Big Why" isn't always understood. So I thought I'd take a few minutes of your busy day to tell you why you REALLY want to be a part of this. And by "this," I mean joining the wave of unified RETS feeds programs and technology solutions that are sweeping through our industry. Your back-office choice You very well may be asking, "Why would I pay a service to deliver a single feed for all my listings when I have people to do that for me?" That's the million-dollar question. But I'll ask you a question in return. Is importing dozens (hundreds?) of MLS listing feeds, normalizing them and preparing them to publish the back office work you need to do? Is this your company's core competency? Is this why you're in business? I'd suspect the answer to that is... no. You're in business because you have an innovative technology solution that helps people buy and sell houses easier than before. That's what you're doing, right? But, that IS why we're in business On the flip side, making sure MLS data feeds arrive at your doorstep on time (with market refresh rates now under five minutes), in lockstep compliance, and bundled together in a single feed is precisely what we're here to do. We're world class experts at this. And, of course, there are others out there who are pretty good at it too. The point is that your challenge is to shape your business to succeed by doing what you do best. And working with service providers who do what they do best. The future is here and ready to deliver data more securely and more efficiently so you can spend more of your resources on product innovation and growing revenue. It won't be long before EVERY MLS listing feed will be transmitted to you through these secure technology hubs. The MLSs are definitive in their position that it's in their best interest to use hubs like Trestle™ to manage the security of their RETS feeds and APIs. They are moving toward that world as I type these words. Transmission 1.0 to Transmission 2.0 is coming Just as surely as the 19th century horse-drawn carriage and gas lamps gave way to the Model T and the light bulb, there is a coming change in how MLS organizations will transmit listings to you. We're here to help you prepare for that eventuality. Let's discuss how Trestle might work for you. Contact the Trestle team today.

TREB and BDAR Enter into MLS Services Partnership
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Aug 17, 2016) - The Barrie & District Association of REALTORS® (BDAR) and the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) have entered into an MLS services partnership to provide members with more extensive MLS services and greater resources. On August 11, 2016, the official agreement between the two boards was signed at a BDAR Special Board Meeting, held at the Kempenfelt Centre in Innisfil. "This MLS services partnership will be beneficial to members from both BDAR and TREB as well as consumers," said Mike Douglas, BDAR 2016 President. "Members from both boards will have access to a larger database, creating an easy flow of information for REALTORS® so they can provide the best service to their clients." Recognizing the overlap in markets, this partnership is a responsible step forward that will remove barriers and open the flow of information. "We are moving in the right direction, partnerships like this one will be the way of the future," said Julia Price-Greig, BDAR Executive Officer. "BDAR members already extend into the TREB market and vice versa, making this partnership a natural progression. Access to a more extensive database will benefit all members, their clients, and the industry as a whole." BDAR and TREB will remain separate boards, each with their own identity and member benefits; however, each board will have access to a better database and more resources, enabling Members of both boards to serve their clients more effectively and efficiently. "Leveraging the strengths of our two distinct boards makes good sense," said John DiMichele, TREB CEO. "This partnership is emblematic of how innovative and progressive solutions can bring both our boards into the future. It is impressive that the BDAR and TREB Board of Directors have had the vision to see the value of a partnership and the leadership to bring it to fruition." "As a REALTOR®, it is easy for me to see the value in this partnership," said Larry Cerqua, TREB President. "Being able to provide consumers with the best options for their buying and selling needs is the number one goal of every REALTOR® and, with this agreement, fulfilling that goal will be much easier for TREB and BDAR real estate professionals." It is expected that the full benefits of this switch will be seen in time for the spring market.

SEATTLE, Jan. 9, 2015 -- Zillow, Inc., the leading real estate information and home related marketplace, today announced the Cape Cod & Islands Multiple Listing Service, Inc. has joined the Zillow® Partnership Platform. The Zillow Partnership Platform empowers brokers with a choice to market their inventory directly on Zillow through the MLS. Now, members of the Cape Cod & Islands MLS will have their listing data sent directly to Zillow as often as every 15 minutes, ensuring that current, active listings always are up-to-date and in sync with the MLS data. "Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard have always been attractive places to live and work, and recent home value growth in the area reflects that inherent desirability," said Curt Beardsley, Zillow vice president of industry development. "Their housing market moves fast, and we're thrilled to become a partner with the Cape Cod & Islands MLS, and help their more than 2,300 members market their listings efficiently and effectively." "Our goal is to empower our members to have better control when it comes to marketing their listings and strengthen our commitment to data integrity as an MLS," said Ryan Castle, CEO of the Cape Cod & Islands MLS. "Forming this direct relationship with Zillow achieves those goals and provides our members with benefits they would not otherwise receive ensuring their listings will be seen by the millions of consumers using Zillow for their home search every day." Through this program, real estate agents from brokerages that choose to participate will be prominently displayed as the listing agent on all of their listings and be able to receive leads directly from Zillow. Brokerages will receive attribution, branding, a link back directly to their website and have daily reporting access. In addition, members of the Zillow Partnership Platform can choose to implement the Zillow Data Dashboard, a new listing management and reporting platform that puts increased control of listings in the hands of MLS members and brokers who send direct feeds to Zillow.
