Built for independent Chicago brokers. We don't sell mortgages. We don't sell leads. We don't sell your data. We sell software.
Your MLS data just became leverage in someone else's platform fight. We will never require, sell, or syndicate your transaction data. Our TOS won't change with a 30-day rug-pull.
Large real estate platforms are increasingly trying to own more of the customer relationship — from lead generation to mortgage to closing. Independent brokers need technology that works for them, not against them.
We're a 17-year-old bootstrapped company. No VC pressure to flip. No platform play to monetize your relationships. Our CEO is back, hands on. You can call him.
Your listing data is now a weapon in someone else's war.
Zillow is suing MRED and Compass. MRED briefly cut Zillow's feed. A federal judge ordered it restored. Zillow is meanwhile reaching out directly to your brokerage, offering a PDAP feed that routes around your MLS. Compass is pushing its private exclusives strategy through MRED's national alliance. And every party in this fight is telling you they're the one protecting your interests.
You know what they actually want. Zillow wants your listings to feed ZHL mortgage quotas, charge you a 40% referral fee on leads, and reclassify your customers as theirs — the same playbook that changed Follow Up Boss's TOS with 30 days notice after they bought it. Compass and Anywhere want your producers, and they'll write checks to get them. MRED is now opening its boundaries nationally and partnering with one brokerage as its preferred partner. None of these companies are neutral. None of them are on your side.
The president of one of the largest independent firms in Chicagoland was on the phone about this the same morning we sat down with their senior VP. This isn't a back-office issue. It's being discussed at the top of the house at every independent brokerage that doesn't want to become a feeder for a portal or a recruiting target for a consolidator.
The independents are looking for a Switzerland. Right now there isn't one in transaction management with a credible voice. We intend to be it.
We've processed millions of transactions over 17 years with zero TOS rug-pulls. We're bootstrapped. There's no VC behind us pushing for a flip, no platform play to monetize your customer relationships, no mortgage company we need you to feed, no recruiting arm trying to peel off your top producers. I'm back at the company as CEO, hands on, and we're built to run for the long haul.
