Integration will enable agents to automatically populate listings on Flexmls Platform with rich media and detailed property information from iGUIDE, enhancing the accuracy and quality of MLS data.

WATERLOO, Ontario, & FARGO, N.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, and FBS, the leading innovator of Multiple Listing Service (MLS) technology and creator of the Flexmls Platform, today announced a strategic partnership and platform integration. The Flexmls Platform empowers real estate professionals from 150+ MLSs with comprehensive access to property listings, market data, and business management tools, providing flexibility and autonomy in managing their operations. This integration will connect iGUIDE’s technology to the Flexmls Platform enabling Flexmls users to seamlessly upload iGUIDE property data, including room dimensions (length and width) and labels, directly into the Flexmls platform with a single click.

Previously, users manually transferred this data, making for a significantly more time consuming and error prone process. In addition to room dimensions and labels, agents will soon be able to upload rich property data including branded and unbranded iGUIDE virtual tours, precise floor plans, photos, and videos, enhancing their productivity and simplifying the listing entry workflow.

iGUIDE is renowned for its precise schematic floor plans, meeting rigorous standards such as ANSI Z765-2021 and RECA RMS with an uncertainty of 1% or less in property square footage, well within the industry’s 2% maximum allowable error. At the heart of iGUIDE’s accuracy lies the quick-capture PLANIX Camera System, which employs a time-of-flight 2D lidar system to capture thousands of measurements with each scan.

Accurate property dimensions, floor plans, and 3D virtual tours benefit not only the listing agent and seller but also potential buyers, enabling them to understand property layout and make informed decisions remotely. This streamlines the buying process and enhances overall market transparency.

“FBS is the first MLS software vendor to implement the RESO Common Format (RCF) standard for auto-populating property data into the listing form. Planitar has collaborated with RESO for several years and contributed to the development of this standard, which automates the entry of various data types already available in machine-readable format. iGUIDE data is RESO-certified as RCF standard compliant and ready for integration with any MLS software that supports it,” explains Alexander Likholyot, CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “This listing form autofill not only saves agents time and effort, but also greatly improves the quality of MLS data by eliminating manual transcription errors for property measurements. In addition to text and measurement data, the RCF standard supports auto-populating listing media, eliminating the need for agents to manually download and upload their images or video. This process occurs seamlessly behind the scenes, enabling agents to simply review their listing.”

FBS has a long and proven track record of purposeful technology innovation and partnerships, including this partnership with iGUIDE, that simplify the user experience, ensuring the MLS remains the premier source of data and enriches the consumer experience.

Michael Wurzer, FBS President and CEO: “We’re continually looking to enhance the MLS customer experience for the 330,000+ real estate professionals across the US that we represent at FBS, and this partnership does that. iGUIDE’s expertise in floor plan analysis, measurement, and immersive 3D virtual tours enriches Flexmls, setting new standards for the listing process and property data sharing. This integration offers the licensing framework necessary for incorporating rich content into our customers’ MLS compilations, empowering them to uphold their status as the leading source of real estate data and media in their respective markets. Finally, it supports our mission to aggregate high-quality data and media, benefiting real estate practitioners and consumers.”

Featuring customizable branding, integration of neighborhood information, and built-in lead generation connecting potential buyers directly with listing agents, iGUIDE continues to provide agents with a comprehensive marketing tool.

Survey Also Highlights Agents’ Critical Role as Trusted Advisor in Real Estate Transactions

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX, “Real”), the fastest-growing, publicly traded real estate brokerage, today released results from its June 2024 Agent Survey. The survey indicates agents remain optimistic about the outlook for their markets over the next 12 months, despite a moderate year-over-year decline in June transaction volumes.

“June’s survey showed that our agents are optimistic about the future, despite the prevailing interest rate environment. We are hopeful that potential lower rates in the near future could help ease the affordability challenges many buyers face,” said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and CEO of Real. “At Real, we are equipping our agents with cutting-edge technology and innovative tools to ensure they can offer personalized, strategic insights that truly make a difference in the home buying and selling journey.”

“More than just market experts, our agents are trusted advisors who understand the pulse of local communities and the intricacies of the market,” remarked Sharran Srivatsaa, President of Real. “This month’s survey reaffirms the diverse expertise agents bring to their clients to successfully navigate today’s competitive real estate landscape.”

Key Findings:

• Agent Optimism Index Largely Steady, Supported By U.S.: At the end of June 2024, agents were asked, “Compared to one month ago, are you more optimistic or pessimistic about the outlook for your primary market over the next 12 months?” Among the respondents, 36% felt more optimistic and an additional 10% felt significantly more optimistic, outweighing the 15% who felt more pessimistic and 3% who felt significantly more so.

  The average response resulted in a weighted index reading of 59.1 on a 0-100 scale, with scores above 50 reflecting a net positive outlook. This compares to 59.0 in May, indicating a largely stable month-over-month outlook, driven by an improvement in the U.S. (up 1.8 points to 59.8), which offset a drop in Canada (down 16.1 points to 52.8).
  

• Market Dynamics Continue to Favor Sellers: When asked “Would you consider your primary market to be a buyer’s market, seller’s market or balanced market?”, approximately half (51%) of agents noted sellers have the upper hand. This represents a two-point increase from the previous month. Meanwhile, 30% of agents viewed their markets as balanced, with neither buyers nor sellers having a clear advantage, a slight decrease from 33% in May. Conversely, approximately 20% of agents believed buyers hold the upper hand in their markets, up from 18% in May.

• Total North American Home Sale Industry Transactions Expected to Decline Year-over-Year in June: Agents were asked, “In your primary market, how would you describe the number of transactions closed in June 2024 compared to June 2023?” The average response resulted in a weighted index reading of 47.4 on a 0-100 scale, suggesting an aggregate decline in industry transactions across North America in June 2024, compared to June 2023. June’s index reading of 47.4 compares to May’s 45.7 level, which was the lowest monthly index reading thus far in 2024.

• U.S. Agents Report a Pullback in Transactions During June, but Improvement From May: June’s U.S. index reading of 46.8 indicates fewer transactions relative to the previous year, but represents a sequential improvement from 44.8 in May.

• Canadian Agents Report Second Consecutive Month of Growth: Agents in Canada signaled modest year-over-year growth in their respective regions, with the overall Canadian weighted index reading of 52.8 in June, although this was down from 54.4 in May.

• Affordability Remains Biggest Concern: The majority of agents surveyed (60%) cited affordability/mortgage rates as the biggest challenge for prospective home buyers, up one percentage point from May and the highest reading since the survey’s launch in January. Lack of inventory was the second most cited concern, rising one point from the previous month to 26%. Economic uncertainty followed, decreasing one point to 7%, while buyer competition was the least cited challenge, decreasing two points to 4%.

• Survey Highlights Comprehensive Support and Value Agents Provide Buy-Side Clients: The survey highlights the diverse roles agents play in guiding clients throughout the home-buying journey. Agents noted their top areas of expertise lie in negotiations (76% of respondents), deep local market knowledge (75%), providing emotional support to clients (60%), assistance with paperwork and legalities (60%), and access to off-market properties (29%). As one agent noted, “while buyers are more than capable of finding a home they like, they often lack the ability to effectively navigate beyond that point in a way that both ensures a smooth transaction and mitigates their risk”.

• Clients Typically Tour 6-10 Homes Before Purchase, Reflecting Agents’ Commitment: The majority of agents (56%) reported that their buy-side clients on average view between 6-10 homes before making a purchase, with most buyers (73%) able to find and close on a home within 0-6 months. This demonstrates the dedication and commitment of agents, who often work for extended periods without pay to ensure their clients find the right property. Additionally, 8% of agents noted that their clients view more than 10 homes during their search, while 5% of agents noted clients taking on average more than a year to find and close on a home.

An infographic including key survey takeaways can be found on Real’s investor relations website or by following the link here.

About the Survey

The Real Brokerage June 2024 Agent Survey included responses from approximately 200 real estate agents across the United States and Canada and was launched in the last week of June 2024. Responses to questions regarding transaction growth and agent optimism were calibrated on a 0-100 point index scale, with readings above 50 indicating an improving trend, whereas readings below 50 indicate a declining trend. Responses are meant to capture industry-level information and are not meant to serve as an indication of Real’s company-specific growth trends. Additionally, given the smaller sample size, there can be greater variability in Canada index results on a month-to-month basis.

Cargill anticipates facility to open in 2025

REGINA, Saskatchewan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cargill, a global leader in oilseed processing, today announced it has surpassed the 50 percent completion milestone in the construction of its new canola facility located at the Global Transportation Hub in West Regina, Sask. Cargill broke ground on the facility in July 2022 and anticipates opening in 2025. The new facility will have the capacity to process 1 million metric tons of canola per year, producing crude canola oil for food and biofuel markets and canola meal for animal feed.

“The addition of the Regina facility to the Cargill network will play a critical role connecting the Canadian canola industry to the expanding domestic and global market opportunities for vegetable oil, high quality meal and biofuels,” said Jeff Vassart, president of Cargill Canada. “The current construction environment is full of unique challenges and this project has faced many headwinds since we broke ground, but we are committed to becoming a best-in-class option for canola growers in the region, along with helping decarbonize the global food and fuel supply chain.”

To support rail and road infrastructure around the new plant, Cargill recently completed the purchase of just over 400 acres near the Global Transportation Hub. This will allow for better connection to existing rail lines, providing efficient access to destination markets for both meal pellets and canola oil. Additionally, this will mean the site has additional optionality to bring canola seed to Regina when needed, providing a new destination for farmers in western Canada.

Cargill offers a full suite of solutions for farmers across western Canada – from grain marketing and advisory services to crop inputs and agronomic expertise. Canadian canola growers can maximize the value of their canola through a variety of programs. Learn more at CargillAg.ca.
