People and tech movers from across the real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@properties adds Amanda Anderson, J.D., as compliance counsel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

@properties<\/strong> has hired real estate attorney Amanda Anderson, J.D. as compliance counsel. In the newly-created position, Anderson will serve as an in-house liaison to outside counsel, along with managing licensing, agency, ethics and disclosure issues and developing ongoing training for the company\u2019s more than 4,000 agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anderson earned her J.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

@properties\u2019 launches Closing Milestones technology <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real estate brokerage and technology firm @properties has introduced Closing Milestones<\/strong>, a new digital portal that guides homebuyers through the many important tasks and deadlines required to navigate a home purchase from contract to close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm developed the technology in response to a common frustration among homebuyers: people who make it through today\u2019s gauntlet of property tours, bidding wars and negotiations may think they\u2019ve reached the finish line once they have a signed contract in hand, only to realize that a purchase agreement is often just the beginning of another long and sometimes arduous road to closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RE\/MAX, LLC names Christopher Alexander president of RE\/MAX Canada \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RE\/MAX, LLC<\/strong> recently named Christopher Alexander as the President of RE\/MAX Canada<\/strong>. Having recently completed the acquisition of the North American regions of RE\/MAX INTEGRA, RE\/MAX added the Ontario and Atlantic provinces (approximately 12,000 agents) to its previously owned Western Canada roster (approximately 7,000 agents). Only the Quebec region remains independently owned within Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this role, Christopher will lead the brand throughout Canada, working directly with Executive Vice President, Elton Ash, and the leaders of the independent Quebec region. Christopher and Elton have proven to be results-driven leaders in their respective regions and together, they will continue to bring forward the best practices, strategies, and insights to build RE\/MAX\u2019s new cohesive brand strategy across the company owned regions in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landis and zavvie team up <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zavvie<\/strong><\/a> announced it is teaming up with Landis, a\u00a0company that uses technology and data science to help Americans achieve homeownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landis<\/strong>, which recently became part of the National Association of Realtors\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0REACH Program<\/a>\u00a0for startups, is a social impact-driven company with a mission to guide renters on their unique path to purchasing a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now operating in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia, Landis is taking on the housing affordability crisis by leveraging technology, one-on-one coaching, and education to help people qualify for a mortgage and ultimately become homeowners.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the companies will use the zavvie brokerage marketplace to deliver real estate agents more affordable and accessible options for homebuyers nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Coldwell Banker Helman Realtors<\/strong> announced it will be joining forces with the largest Coldwell Banker franchise affiliate in the United States, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
