MRIS Named a Finalist for Coveted Inman News Innovator Awards
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- MRIS, the industry-leading Mid-Atlantic Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that facilitates nearly $103 million a day in real estate transactions, is pleased to announce that it has been named as one of the eight finalists for the Inman News Innovator Awards as the most innovative MLS or real estate trade association.
The Inman Innovator Awards honor companies, individuals and tools that apply technology to increase the productivity, efficiency and transparency of the real estate industry for consumers and real estate professionals. Earlier this year, MRIS President and CEO David Charron was named to Inman’s 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders for the 7th year in a row.
“2013 marks 20 years of MRIS’s ongoing quest for innovation and reinvention of the MLS,” said Charron. “We have transformed the definition of the MLS from simply providing listing data to a business-centric platform that puts the real estate professional at the center of every transaction with real time data, analytics and the best technology tools available.”
MRIS’s nomination comes after an exciting year of technology innovation designed to deliver Real Estate in Real Time™ to both real estate professionals and consumers. This includes the launch of the game-changing MRIShomes™ mobile app, an innovative dual purpose/hybrid MLS mobile app powered by patented GPS-based search results.
In addition, MRIS invests nearly $3 million annually into technology improvements to enhance the core MLS systems and to develop new, innovative products to help real estate professionals streamline their business, convert leads and increase their productivity. As a result, MRIS customers are ranked among the most productive agents in the industry, facilitating over $38 billion in system wide sales in 2012.
In an age when technology has dramatically changed the way real estate professionals conduct their business, MRIS provides a state-of-the-art disaster recovery system that keeps MLS customers connected to their business in real time in the event of an emergency, disaster or unplanned event. This means MRIS customers can keep driving nearly $103 million dollars in residential real estate transactions each and every day.
Award winners will be announced during the Real Estate Connect conference in San Francisco, California, which runs July 10 – 12. To see all of the finalists, please visit http://www.inman.com/2013/07/03/introducing-2013-innovator-awards-finalists/.
