Throughout 2014, we've been publishing a series of articles that guides brokers through the technology selection process (see the full list of articles here). While those provide a helpful overview of broad technology categories, the next step is for brokers to learn more about a single product in more detail.

That's what our product reviews column does. Each review offers an in-depth look at an individual product, complete with screenshots and an overview of all major features. In 2014, we published a handful of broker product reviews, and we've rounded them up here for your convenience. Take a moment to learn more about a new technology that could help your brokerage (and stay tuned for our round-up of over a dozen agent reviews!).

Market Videos for Brokers

MarketVideos.com is a collaboration between Terradatum and VScreen. The basic concept is to offer market data for a specific region in an appealing video format. The data shared in the videos includes median listing price in the region, days on market, and other key metrics. Data comes directly from the local MLS. The videos are aesthetically appealing, include a pleasant voiceover as well as music, and fit a great deal of useful information into a short format. They are updated automatically every month, meaning that you won't need to remove an embedded video on your website and embed a new video each month. Rather, you can set it and forget it.
