reDataExport, LLC's newest software provides MLSs with data access and export tools that help with the efficient distribution of real estate data
SANDY, Utah, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- reDataExport, LLC, a new company launched by UtahRealEstate.com, is set to transform real estate data distribution by providing an efficient platform to supply real estate information to those who need multiple listing service ("MLS") data for research, statistics, and analytics. The new software platform, called reDataExport, provides MLSs with a simple dashboard that enables them to grant access to controlled MLS data which can be distributed in bulk form. MLSs that use this new product can more confidently share data with entities such as universities, public agencies, and economists looking for statistics about real estate in local markets, without providing access to the proprietary MLS software that is only available to members who have state-issued licenses to practice real estate.
MLSs throughout the country frequently receive requests from economists, universities and government agencies related to research for local housing markets. For example, some of this data is used to create affordable home buying legislation, to assist in market studies for government grants, and for use in educational research projects. To assist in these projects, MLS staff either spend countless hours corresponding and putting together the requested statistics, provide API access which cannot always be consumed by the requesting party, or give direct access to the entire MLS system which oftentimes cannot accommodate the statistical requests. With reDataExport, MLSs have a tool that can be directly accessed by licensees, who will only be able to access the data and fields needed by that licensee. Requests can span the entire MLS databases, providing tremendously valuable historical perspectives, or they can be very narrowly focused.
The product's simple user interface intuitively conveys what the user is permitted to access, allows them to specify what data they want to extract, and then allows for a simple .CSV download of that data. MLS administrators have granular permissions to control what data can be accessed, and they are also provided with easy-to-interpret access logs that outline how specific users are using the system and what they are downloading.
"There are many stakeholders, such as research organizations, graduate students, real estate professionals, government agencies, etc. who want access to listing data to create their own statistics or conduct market analysis for reporting, but they often do not have the technical skills or resources to consume data via an API," stated Casey Hickman, Chief Operations Officer at UtahRealEstate.com. "reDataExport is the perfect solution that allows MLSs to help facilitate those requests, while also ensuring data access is monitored, controlled, and tailored to the requestor's specific use case."
Brad Bjelke, CEO of UtahRealEstate.com, stated, "reDataExport provides a simple and easy-to-use solution for complex data requests. This tool facilitates the relationships between MLSs and local researchers, the government, and universities. When MLSs can partner with local entities to be the expert in real estate data, they receive more recognition in the local market and establish powerful relationships that increase their value. All of this can be done with our new software that provides quality data while also ensuring that the data is not misused or improperly distributed."
