RealEstate Business Intelligence LLC — a subsidiary of one of the nation’s biggest multiple listing services that provides real estate data, analytics and business intelligence for real estate professionals in the Mid-Atlantic region — has expanded and rebranded its rbiEXPERT platform as SmartCharts Pro.

RBI, a subsidiary of Metropolitan Regional Information Systems Inc. (MRIS), says it’s added new features to SmartCharts Pro that will help MRIS members understand their market, including:

  •  An expansion of metrics tracked from 10 to 37, to help agents and their clients stay abreast of price trends and gauge how long it may take to buy or sell a home.
  •  More ways to compare locations including subdivisions and market trends over time.
  •  Historical data going back 10 years to provide context from before, during and after the housing bubble.

For $23.99 a month or $199.88 a year, SmartCharts Pro lets users show clients and prospects trends in prices, sales, time on market, and other points of interest using charts and graphs that can be embedded on websites, posted on social media or shared with prospective clients.

A free version of SmartCharts is also available, but RBI says SmartCharts Pro offers “substantially more statistics, features and functionality than the free version of the product.”

RBI has also rebranded its broker offering, rbiBROKER, as SmartCharts for Brokers. That platform “provides powerful insights into agent productivity and competitive market reports,” the company said.

SmartCharts products are available only to MRIS members. Last year, RBI partnered with CoreLogic to launch MARKETrends Premium, which taps MLS statistics and public records data and is available in more than 130 markets nationwide.
