National Association of Realtors to Launch Data Service for Agents – WSJ.com
The National Association of Realtors announced Monday a plan to give more data to real-estate agents eager to show they can still provide valuable information when more and more consumers rely on the Internet to bone up on the housing market.
The trade organization said it acquired licenses for property-related data and related technology from Lender Processing Services Inc. Terms weren’t disclosed.
The data are to feed a service called Realtors Property Resource, to be launched in next year’s second quarter and available only to the 1.2 million members of the trade group. It will include such information as past sales prices, tax assessments, zoning restrictions and liens on more than 147 million properties across the U.S., the Realtors said. The service, which will be free for Realtors, also will include software to estimate the market value of homes.
