CubiCasa, the global-reaching real estate software company, announced a collaboration with Bright MLS, which claims to be one of the largest Multiple Listing Services (MLS) in the country, “to offer CubiCasa’s easy-to-use floor plan creation app to Bright subscribers.”
The collaboration will aim to “expand the use of floor plans on listings within the Bright MLS ecosystem, adding a new level of transparency to property listings and empowering home buyers to make more informed purchasing decisions.”
Richard McDonald, Vice President, Business Development & Strategic Partnerships, Bright MLS, said:
“Bright has identified visual media, including floor plans, as being critical to the success of listings, and we have invested heavily in innovating in the space. With CubiCasa, we see an opportunity to offer subscribers a way to simplify the floor plan creation process so that listings are more effective, allowing our members to maximize the value they provide to their clients.”
The collaboration with Bright MLS is “part of CubiCasa’s MLS Partnership Program, launched in December, and marks the 11th MLS to join the growing program.”
The program “empowers agents with free floor plans for new listings, discounted pricing for optional add-on features, and access to CubiCasa’s directory of professional real estate photographers who are already actively using CubiCasa.”
According to the National Association of REALTORS, floor plans “are the second most desired feature on a home listing after standard listing photos and property data.”
However, only “a small share of home listings in the U.S. have floor plans today. CubiCasa’s unique product offerings and the power and reach of the partnership with Bright MLS aim to change that.”
Jeff Allen, President of CubiCasa, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Bright MLS to our MLS Partnership Program. We’re on a mission to bring floor plans to every listing in the U.S. because of the immense value it can create for an organized real estate ecosystem, and Bright is a great partner in that vision.”
Bright MLS reportedly “covers more than 20 million consumers across Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C. and West Virginia.”
In 2022, Bright has “launched Media Sync, which dramatically cuts down the time it takes for a subscriber to add media to their listings.”
The CubiCasa app is “available for download in the App Store and Google Play Store.”
