Matrix becoming the mobile friendly option?

Posted by Richard D'Ascoli on Mar 20, 2019 9:45:57 AM

Have you checked out Matrix? Most PSAR members use Paragon which is the product we have had for many years. It works great and we will support it for years to come. If you are looking to leverage the MLS to do more robust and targeted searches and you want to update listings on the go, Matrix may have some tools and benefits that fit your needs.

San Diego Agents who sell out of area have been joining PSAR and signing up for Matrix since PSAR aligned with CRMLS last fall. There is a strong case for agents selling inside San Diego to use Matrix. Some technologically savvy brokers have moved their entire offices to the platform for it's deep search capabilities, mobile friendliness and its rich listing data inside and outside of San Diego County.

PSAR offers choices. We have both the full version of Matrix and the full version of Paragon through CRMLS. Our Matrix offering is not a "hot link" in the MLS. In fact for just $6.50 per month our members can add Matrix as a second MLS and use both Matrix and Paragon. During the past two weeks there have been some big announcements for our Matrix users.

Last week CRMLS sent out an update to our Matrix users. List Price and Public/Private Remarks are now editable in the CRMLS App.

Today Corelogix which owns Matrix and Homesnap announced that they will join forces to integrate the platforms. The press release isn't specific about what this integration will look like, but we realize that many agents would love to see Homesnap Pro pull more MLS data and potentially incorporate an add/edit feature into the popular Homesnap Pro application.

CRMLS is well positioned as a platform that encourages competing vendors to innovate and create the very best technology for PSAR's MLS subscribers. These tools are here to empower Realtors.
