Last week HomeSpotter won the “Best in Show” award at the 2016 RESO “Show N Tell” event where 20 top real estate technology firms competed, and 330 real estate technology and business leaders attended.

The 2016 RESO “Show N Tell” included brief “Ted Talk” like demonstrations of some of the newest breakthrough innovations in real estate and leveraging data to engage real estate professionals and their clients in a way that helps streamline the real estate transaction. Read more about the RESO “Show N Tell.”

So how was HomeSpotter able to win in spite of Aaron’s laid back demeanor and lackluster presentation skills? Spoiler alert… It’s really about the product- and we have made a lot of updates recently!

Last month we launched our latest update, where we completely overhauled property details in the app. You can read about the full details of that update in my blog post from last week. We bring together a lot of great information about properties – like INRIX Drive Time™ – and present it in a compelling way.

In addition to the major update to property details, other recent innovations like editing listings in the app backed by fingerprint authentication, in-app messaging, and our ability to bring so many of an agent’s tools together in one place (see just a handful of our many integration partners below!) were all contributing factors to what made the product stand out.
