Colorado Real Estate Network

The Colorado Real Estate Network services a broad geographic area in southwestern Colorado. CREN is owned and managed by a diverse group of shareholder associations representing around 1900 members and is headquartered in Montrose, Colorado. The 2023 Strategic Plan came at a key moment, with CREN’s leadership coming together to dive deeply into several key and potentially complex issues facing the membership. With so many shareholders representing such a wide and diverse area, cohesion, trust, and transparency were essential.

The Story

In late March 2023, Modern.Tech facilitated a day-long, deep-dive session of learning, consensus-building, and decision making exercises with a group of over 20 CREN stakeholders. The group spent the day discussing MLS best practices, learning how the top MLSs in the country are addressing common operational and technology issues. By the day’s conclusion, everyone in the room walked away with a clearer understanding of how a modern MLS operates, where CREN’s gaps might be, the pros and cons of addressing these gaps, and how best to address them given CREN’s specific circumstances.

Showingly

Showingly's innovative approach to the home showing process aims to provide transparency and clarity to all parties involved. By connecting clients and their agents through a user-friendly app and website, Showingly enables meaningful connections between clients and agents, expanding opportunities for both. This approach increases accessibility to real estate information, empowering clients to take a more active role in the home buying and selling process, while also facilitating more efficient communication between agents and their clients.

Showingly offers comprehensive and innovative mobile apps for both consumers and real estate agents. The Showingly App offers agents exclusive access to their clients, allowing buyer's agents to schedule showings or allowing listing agents to approve and deny showings on the go for clients who are not as tech-savvy. Agents have unlimited access to manage credentials for home access and update availability on the properties.

To operate effectively across the country, Modern.Tech has implemented dozens of custom integrations with RETS and WebAPI feeds to populate the home search and enable listing agents to configure their listings. This allows Showingly to provide a seamless scheduling experience to clients while streamlining the workload for agents and brokerage owners alike.

The Results

Brand connection is key to build meaningful relationships and trust with your users. When building a software product, the product itself becomes a major touch point of the brand, and it is imperative to have a well-defined brand, visual identity, and alignment with the product to drive features and decisionmaking.

Brand & Visual Identity

Modern.tech has a wide range of software, data, design, and strategy related capabilities. We welcome projects that have a highly custom aspect, and are always eager to solve complex, functional issues and build elegant products.

Remine

Remine is widely recognized as a leader in the real estate technology sector. Their digital platform brings home buyers, home sellers, real estate agents, and lenders, together in one place. The platform is characterized by its emphasis on choice, clarity, and speed, offering a comprehensive MLS solution that redefines the digital real estate experience.

In late 2021, Remine was acquired by MLS Technology Holdings, and began the process of finding a technology partner that could come in and assist their tech team in finishing critical paths to their roadmap. The projects and nature of the work required specialized context in real estate, and they began an engagement with Modern.tech to drive data improvements, stabilization, mobile application development, and APIs development. 

Remine brought in Modern.tech to tackle SSO Dashboard, mobile application, data engineering, and API related initiatives. Remine's goal to bring in a team well-versed in industry context to avoid misunderstandings and eliminate the need for training was successful and our team hit the ground running. Data was improved and stabilized. The mobile app development cadence improved. We helped developed APIs to enable third-party integrations. This is a point of pride for us in working with industry clients, as the jargon is all familiar to us. MLS, RESO, IDX, VOW, RETS, FTP, Syndication, SSO, TC, CDA, you name them. We get you.

Developers With Industry Context

Cartofront

Cartofront's flood risk assessment technology benefits consumers by providing critical information about a property's flood risk that can be used to make informed decisions about buying, selling, and insuring properties. In addition, by making flood risk data more accessible and easier to understand, this technology encourages property owners to take a more proactive approach to mitigating flood risk, which could ultimately reduce the frequency and severity of flood-related damage to properties.  

As is common with many startups, Cartofront's technology was initially developed by a single developer who lacked context of best practices and left the founders in a precarious situation. Through a thorough discovery process and the implementation of robust DevOps systems, Modern.Tech was able to unravel the complexity of the product and restore control and stability to ongoing development initiatives.

In October 2021, 18 real estate technology companies entered into the Showing Choice Hackathon hosted by Bright MLS, CRMLS, and MRED

CRMLS, Bright MLS, and MRED announced in June 2021 that they were working together to ensure scheduling showings remains a seamless part of the user experience. Their mission is to create a solution that encourages innovation and allows both existing and new entrants to work on a universal set of standards in the showing services arena. The project's goal is to place the choice of which showing services to use in the hands of brokers. All participants in the hackathon received documentation of the Hub interfaces (APIs) and access to a working Hub in the cloud. This allowed participants to build new integrations with the Hub and showcase the platform's ability to unite showing services. 

We won 1st Place and received special recognition for interoperability for using every aspect of the Showing Hub
