Homebot is a dynamic financial dashboard that real estate agents and lenders can give to their clients, empowering them to make decisions that will help them realize the full financial value of their home. It identifies many key financial opportunities, including when to rent, buy or sell, or when to refinance or remodel.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHomebot positions the real estate agent as the expert of real estate value, displays hundreds of thousands of alternative opportunities and delivers information in a user-friendly way,\u201d said Ernie Graham, co-founder and CEO, Homebot.<\/p>\n

\u201cFWD is one example of Realogy\u2019s efforts to help our affiliated real estate agents be more productive,\u201d Dave Gordon, Chief Technology Officer, Realogy. \u201cOur continued significant investment in technology involves developing not only our own solutions but also partnering with innovative companies like those who during this competition demonstrated their future-forward products.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of these entrepreneurs here today are hardworking and passionate about working toward making the industry better by helping agents help consumers,\u201d Graham continued. \u201cThere are so many opportunities to drive improvements and deliver value throughout the entire homebuying process from lender partners, agents down through the consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One perk of being a finalist is placement in the ZapStore, an innovative app and service marketplace that is directly integrated within Realogy\u2019s proprietary Zap\u00ae platform for its affiliated brokers and sales professionals.<\/p>\n

Companies selected as FWD medalists included first runner-up SHYFT<\/a>, a company that provides software to customize the moving and relocation process, and second runner-up Disclosures.io<\/a>, an offer and negotiation management platform from a company that envisions a future where real estate agents are empowered by technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More information about the participating companies is available at RealogyFWD.com<\/a>, including a list of past winners and finalists. The event was livestreamed via Facebook Live, and a replay is available on Realogy\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
