CRMLS is expanding access to RealReports, an AI real estate intelligence platform that aggregates zoning, lien and climate risk data for agents.
California Regional MLS (CRMLS), the nation’s second-largest multiple listing service, announced Tuesday that it is expanding access to RealReports, its AI-powered real estate analytics platform, to all users at no additional cost.
The platform was previously offered as an opt-in product through CRMLS’ Product Co-Op, allowing individual associations to decide whether to provide access. After strong adoption and positive feedback from early users, CRMLS has chosen to roll out RealReports to its entire user base.
RealReports allows CRMLS users to generate comprehensive real estate reports that pull data from dozens of sources and provide insights on factors ranging from lien and zoning details to climate risk and other real estate variables. The platform also includes an AI assistant called Aiden that can answer real estate-related questions and summarize complex reports to help agents quickly understand important details.
“Agents and brokers are constantly adapting to become more efficient and knowledgeable in an increasingly demanding market,” CRMLS CEO Art Carter said in a statement. “RealReports helps us do the heavy lifting of combing through documents to extract the most important and valuable information and easily present it to our clients.”
CRMLS users can access RealReports from the product tile on the REcore dashboard.
AI tools move to MLS
CRMLS’ decision to roll out RealReports across its user base reflects a shift within the real estate industry toward integrating AI-powered data tools directly into MLS platforms.
Traditionally, MLS systems have focused on listing data, but they are increasingly adding real estate intelligence capabilities that aggregate information such as zoning, liens, environmental risks, and other records.
By incorporating these tools into agents’ daily workflows, MLS operators aim to help real estate professionals analyze properties faster and provide deeper insights to customers in an increasingly data-driven market.
Several MLSs have already begun experimenting with AI-powered real estate intelligence tools. MLS Now in Ohio, Doorify MLS in North Carolina, and First Multiple Listing Service in Georgia all partner with RealReports. The decision to roll out the platform across CRMLS’ user base represents one of the largest technology deployments to date.
For agents, increasing the availability of real estate intelligence tools is part of an effort to strengthen the advisory role of real estate professionals. As consumers gain access to more housing data online, real estate agents are under increasing pressure to provide deeper insight into properties, risks, and neighborhood conditions.
Platforms that integrate and analyze complex data sets have the potential to help agents answer these questions more efficiently while establishing themselves as trusted advisors to buyers and sellers.
