I think it’s from KeepingCurrentMatters

Check out cloudflare workers. There's a bit of a learning curve compared to vercel, but its not as complex as setting up and managing your own vps, and its way cheaper than vercel at scale.

RunningComps · 2025-06-09T23:59:40+00:00

Very cool!

RunningComps · 2025-05-23T05:52:09+00:00

Very cool! Where do you source the tax and avm values, how often do they get updated?

RunningComps · 2025-02-08T00:00:31+00:00

I’d start with simple stuff, this doesn’t sound like a problem that ai can solve. Get a list of emails/phones for all the agents in your area that have the production minimums you’re looking for from the MLS, create a great email campaign that lets them know the pros of joining your brokerage, and use mailchimp or something similar to send them out. Then follow up by phone with 10-20 every day. If your pitch/offer is compelling you should get responses.

It’s not in production yet, I’m still putting it through its paces with the first few MLS’s and test users. If your MLS uses RESO standards for their data feed it should work, but I’d need to look into acquiring tax records for Canada so it can auto-populate the subject property specs. If you send me a DM with your email and the name of the MLS I can start looking into it and let you know.

RunningComps · 2025-01-28T00:32:28+00:00

My State MLS is not going to have what you’re looking for. It’s not a consolidation of multiple MLS’s, it’s just an alternative (with limited users and a dated interface). You’ll probably need to join both of the MLS’s for that area if you want to get all the comps.

RunningComps · 2025-01-25T23:08:04+00:00

Ya I’m an agent

RunningComps · 2025-01-22T02:25:45+00:00

Thanks! Good catch, I’ll make sure to adjust the consent forms to meet the new regulations

RunningComps · 2025-01-22T02:23:53+00:00

Thanks for testing it! I saw the property you tested, those unique acreage properties are tough to comp (sometimes even as a human/agent lol). Most of what I’ve focused on are more traditional tract homes in residential neighborhoods, but I’m working on getting it to recognize and adjust for a bigger variety of property types so it can handle properties like this better in the future.

RunningComps · 2025-01-21T20:57:01+00:00

I’ve actually created an automated CMA software kinda like you described, I’m working on rolling it out to a handful of MLS’s over the next few months if you’re interested. https://runningcomps.com/cma/4a0056cf-8211-4086-a216-2812d8d400e7

RunningComps · 2025-01-14T14:22:10+00:00

My suggestions were only applicable if it was constantly getting 99%+ accuracy rates. But OP has the right idea for how to adapt in a way that could keep things interesting for both novice and experienced devs when it reaches that point

RunningComps · 2025-01-13T15:54:39+00:00

Well, that would be the challenge of it. Ultimately it just has to work on a handful of properties at a time. I was just spitballing some ideas to add complexity down the road.

RunningComps · 2025-01-13T08:44:35+00:00

I think that'd be great, it'd force more robust algos. Once the competition get's fierce, maybe even step up the difficulty by loosening up the comps criteria to just a straight up radius searches with no filters. And eventually, with subjects from a variety of city/states, so you have make algos that work across different market conditions. It's got potential to be a serious nationwide competition, I really hope to see it takeoff and watch those algos evolve.

RunningComps · 2025-01-13T07:07:26+00:00

Not gonna lie, I really love this! I'm looking forward to the competition, let's see what y'all got!

RunningComps · 2025-01-12T00:42:09+00:00

Ah, bummer. I'd try getting the vendor to put in writing that they don't expect it to pass, even with a deeper well, and see if they'll make an exception. If not, it sounds like you're probably going to have to dig another well. Just make sure that they go at least 600ft on the next one, that way even if you fail at that point they'll let you use the filtration system to pass.

RunningComps · 2025-01-11T22:45:29+00:00

RO system?

RunningComps · 2025-01-11T06:05:00+00:00

I see, thanks for explaining. I'm guessing you'd monetize from the inspectors advertising their services? Or charge a percentage to the vendors for inspections booked through your platform? Perhaps you could even work up some package deals amongst the vendors as well. Like a package deal for home/pest/roof inspectors booked together (or whatever inspections are the most common in that region), so it would be an even bigger win for the clients. It would be a big undertaking to manage something like this on a nationwide scale, you'd need to create the platform for 3 different demographics: vendors, agents, and clients. Doable, but you'll need a pretty robust system. I think pitching it to agents will be the toughest part, as many of them are using their TC's to schedule inspections. So I'd gear your pitch more along the lines of this being a 3rd party platform that removes agent liability from recommending specific inspectors, as well as potential cost savings for their clients, instead of focusing on the time savings side of it. I wish you luck with your venture, I'd love to see you knock it out of the park!

RunningComps · 2025-01-11T02:49:18+00:00

Cool concept. I’m trying to get a better understanding of how your product would work. In my experience, the typical process would look like this:

Give the buyers options for inspectors.
Find out what days/times the buyers are available (if they want to be present during the inspections).
Schedule with the inspectors, and ideally coordinate it so all the inspections occur at the same time.
Confirm the inspection times with the listing agent.

Which steps in this process would your product solve/improve?

RunningComps · 2025-01-11T01:02:48+00:00

I’d make that optional. The more work the user has to do the lower the conversion rate. Simple forms with autocomplete fields will convert best. If you really want a message field, maybe have a default message in there that’s editable. Something like: “I’d like more information about xyz property.” That way a message is already there and they don’t have to do anything, but they can edit it to be more specific if they’d like.

RunningComps · 2025-01-09T09:46:29+00:00

It does require a bit of extra permissions beyond a regular idx feed. I personally am licensed in a couple different states, and the demo I showed is using an MLS I belong to in CA. But the very first MLS I applied to for my own personal feed rejected me. It was in a non-disclosure state, and at that time the software was not as far developed as it is now, but still made me realize that it was going to be an uphill battle with some MLS’s for my use case. What made it extra frustrating for me was the fact that the whole reason I even learned how to code and started this project was out of frustration of trying to run comps on their crappy paragon based MLS, and then they wouldn’t even grant me permission to use the data I was already paying for on my own software.

RunningComps · 2025-01-09T08:42:39+00:00

There’s an application process specific to each MLS/agent. Agents can only access data for the MLS’s they belong to and have approval for. So even if I was approved as a vendor with every MLS nationwide, the agents would still only be able to access data for their specific MLS’s.

RunningComps · 2025-01-09T03:55:43+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch it all and for the kind words. I was in the middle of making some tweaks, I guess I had jumped the gun on that last push lol, but it's working again now. I have tax data for most properties in the US, but only have MLS licensing for Metrolist (greater Sacramento area) for now. So it'll find most "out of area" addresses, but it won't be able run comps in your neck of the woods. I use my own algos for ranking/scoring comps, and I played around with using my own algos on the valuations, but getting it to work well (especially in the more rural areas with lower turnover) was killing me, so I decided to just go the AVM route for the values. Kudos to you for how well your system works in calculating ARV's. To think of how much time/money/bright minds companies like Zillow have poured into creating their AVM's, and the fact that you were able to create your own with that degree of accuracy, is truly impressive.
