REsides wanted to enhance its website with additional features to provide subscribers with more value.
By incorporating hyperlocal insights, such as neighborhood characteristics and demographics, into their listings, REsides provided agents and brokers with a comprehensive understanding of the area surrounding a property.
Through Local Logic’s location intelligence solutions, REsides equipped its subscribers with the tools they needed to establish themselves as local experts and to guide consumers through their homebuying process.
Traditional real estate data, such as the year of construction, type of renovations, and specific features such as parking, accounts for 42% of a home’s value. But the remaining 58% is derived from its location, which includes accessibility to transit, amenities, and the character of the neighborhood. Yet, location value has traditionally been difficult to quantify.
Today, the real estate industry has been increasingly turning to data-driven solutions to uncover a property’s full value through better location insights.
Headquartered on Hilton Head Island, REsides is a real estate technology provider and multi-state Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that facilitates more than $4 billion in annual real estate transactions. They are a premier destination for all things related to home buying, selling, or renting, with borderless listings and data that help consumers find their next dream home.
As an independent real estate information network, REsides is committed to pushing the industry forward through innovation and information sharing.
REsides wanted to enhance its real estate listings and website with new features to provide more value to consumers and subscribers.
To stay competitive, the MLS has to ensure that its website offers data that satisfies the needs of home seekers. Consumers need data that facilitates their decision-making when shopping for a new home. They want information that not only includes property details but also gives a comprehensive picture of the neighborhood that they are looking to move in.
Local Logic is a location intelligence solution that digitizes the built world for consumers, investors, developers, and governments. With our unique location dataset of more than 75 billion data points, we can offer predictive and precise analytics on over 250 million individual addresses in the U.S. and Canada.
As part of their initiative to enhance their website content, REsides added Local Logic’s data to their main site as well as to the agent and broker websites that are provided to their subscribers. Agents and brokers are given access to Local Logic’s hyperlocal insights, such as neighborhood characteristics and demographics, enabling them to better serve homebuyers by gaining a more in-depth understanding of different areas.
Using Local Logic’s Local Content and Local Demographics widgets, REsides was able to simplify the process of extracting meaningful insights from data, and shared that information with agents and brokers.
By helping the latter combine their own personal experience with access to deep neighborhood insights, REsides empowered its subscribers to:
