Revive has rolled out upgrades to its AI-driven platform, Revive AI, designed to help real estate agents show homeowners how home improvement initiatives and property condition may affect resale value. The updated platform combines valuation data, local market insights, home condition analysis, renovation estimates, and financial modeling into a single workflow.
The company said new features include Smart Value Comparison, which aggregates automated home value estimates from multiple sources, and expanded local market insights aimed at helping agents explain neighborhood trends and buyer expectations.
Revive AI now includes room-by-room condition analysis, renovation scenario modeling, and homeowner equity tools, according to a news release.
Through the company’s Flip360 program, agents can also model possible returns for investor clients. Dalip Jaggi, Revive Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, said agents don’t need another estimate of what a home is worth today, but rather home value intelligence that helps show clients what it could be worth.
Jaggi added that after more than a year of meeting with agents every week, listening to their feedback, and continuously improving the product, Revive AI has become the next-generation home value intelligence tool agents have been asking for.
Point is looking to expand distribution of its alternative home equity financing platform through a new origination channel, the fintech company announced this week. The third-party channel will allow mortgage professionals to broker the company’s Home Equity Investment (HEI) product, which gives homeowners access to their equity without taking on monthly payments.
Since launching in 2015, the company says it has funded more than $2.5 billion in HEIs for over 25,000 homeowners. Eddie Lim, Point Co-founder and CEO, said launching a third-party origination channel is a natural extension of Point’s vision to make homeownership more valuable and accessible.
Samuel Bjelac, a veteran mortgage industry executive, has been hired to lead the new channel. Bjelac said he came to Point to help scale a better way for homeowners to access their equity, one that doesn’t rely on traditional debt.
Lim praised Bjelac’s experience developing scalable sales organizations, opening new distribution channels, and accelerating adoption, all of which he added will ultimately make it possible for Point to help more homeowners access their equity when they need it most.
Momentum MLS, formerly WARDEX MLS, has partnered with client communication platform Rayse to give MLS subscribers access to the company’s agent value and transaction visibility tools, addressing concerns about market fragmentation.
Momentum MLS subscribers will now receive Rayse as a member benefit, and they can use the technology to guide buyers and sellers through a structured transaction experience while providing real-time updates through a client portal.
Kim Everett, Momentum MLS’s CEO, said partnering with Rayse allows them to give their members a powerful tool that aligns perfectly with their commitment to progress and forward movement, helping them deliver a more transparent, modern, and client-focused experience.
Zillow is celebrating 15 years of Follow Up Boss. In a May 18 blog post, the company noted that code writing for the CRM started in April 2011 — and now more than 80% of the highest-volume agent teams in the country use it, with some even seeking to restore data access.
Since its acquisition by Zillow Group nearly three years ago, Follow Up Boss has become the connective tissue for what may be the most comprehensive agent technology platform the real estate industry has ever seen, the post said.
Homeowners and real estate agents alike are likely to benefit from these developments in the industry, as companies like Revive, Point, and Rayse continue to innovate and improve their services.
