North Texas Real Estate Information Systems provides Clarus MarketMetrics® as a member benefit

LOS ANGELES (Aug. 3) – Real Estate Business Services Inc. (REBS) today announced that the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems (NTREIS) will offer Clarus MarketMetrics® as a member benefit to its more than 22,000 MLS members beginning in late August 2009.

“A pricing analysis tool like Clarus MarketMetrics® is invaluable to our members to express the difference between a competitive price and the downward spiral that can come from overpricing,” said John Holley, CEO of NTREIS. “The colorful reports also allow members to share more general MLS market trends with prospects and the community as a whole.”

Clarus MarketMetrics® generates market and price-point analysis charts and reports derived from MLS data for REALTORS® to share with their clients. These reports can be invaluable as a prospecting tool, an aid to setting seller expectations, or as a companion set of data to justify a buyer’s offer. With Clarus MarketMetrics®, real estate professionals now have access to the most current, relevant local market data that even the savviest client will value.

“Clarus MarketMetrics® puts market data analysis back in the hands of the agent,” said Holley. “Whether they want to focus on a city or drill down to a specific neighborhood, it’s all available in an instant.

“Since it’s integrated right into the MLS, participants and subscribers can use the areas and neighborhood names they are already familiar with.”
