San Benito County Association of REALTORS® offers Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus Investor® as member benefits

LOS ANGELES (July 24) – Real Estate Business Services Inc. (REBS®) today announced that the San Benito County Association of REALTORS® (SBCAOR) has signed an agreement to provide Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus Investor® as a member benefit to its 200 REALTOR® members. SBCAOR joins five other local associations in the area: Monterey County, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley, and San Mateo County associations of REALTORS®, all of which utilize MLSListings Inc. as their multiple listing service (MLS) provider, in providing Clarus MarketMetrics® as a member benefit.

“San Benito is a unique pocket of the market,” said SBCAOR President Steve Becerra. “Clarus MarketMetrics® allows our members to share their localized expertise with the rest of the community.”

Clarus MarketMetrics® generates market and price-point analysis charts and reports derived from MLS data for REALTORS® to share with their clients. These reports are invaluable as a prospecting tool, an aid to setting seller expectations, or as a companion set of data to justify a buyer’s offer.

“Clarus Investor® will empower our members with additional property profile information in a comprehensive and attractive format to really take that property investor to a new level,” said Maricela Ramirez, association executive for SBCAOR.

Clarus Investor® enables agents to engage clients in a healthy discussion about adding real estate to their investment portfolio. The online application will give a quick picture of a property’s value and profit potential by generating a seven-page report that can be saved or printed.

The mission of San Benito County Association of REALTORS® is to serve its members by providing the resources necessary for their pursuit of sales and marketing of real estate, reflecting the rules and regulations of the California Dept. of Real Estate, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® promoting professionalism with strict adherence to the Code of Ethics.
