Simi Valley-Moorpark Provides Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus™ Investor™ as a
Member Benefit
LOS ANGELES (April 9) – Real Estate Business Services Inc. (REBS) today
announced that the Simi Valley-Moorpark Association of REALTORS® (SVMAR) signed
an agreement to provide Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus™ Investor™ as member
benefits. This association rounds out the trio belonging to the Ventura County
Regional Data Share, which also includes Conjeo Valley and Ventura County
Coastal Association of REALTORS®, current Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus™
Investor™ subscribers.
“We’re extremely excited that all of our MLS members in the Simi
Valley-Moorpark area will have access to essential market trend reports to
share with their communities,” said Nelson Carrillo, president of SVMAR. “Not
many other market statistic resources can claim that their data comes directly
from the MLS.”
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®, REALTOR® members now have access to the most current,
relevant local market data that even the savviest client will value.
“We found Clarus™ Investor™ to be an added value to our members looking to
expand their market niche,” said Frank Lessing, executive officer of SVMAR.
“All of our member benefits are incorporated based on what is best and most
relevant for our membership.”
Clarus™ Investor™ enables agents to engage clients in a healthy discussion
about adding real estate to their
investment portfolio. The online application provides a quick snapshot of a
property’s value and profit potential by
generating a seven-page report that can be saved or printed.
The Simi Valley-Moorpark Association of REALTORS®, which serves the Simi Valley
and Moorpark communities, is offering the new Clarus MarketMetrics® and Clarus™
Investor™ services through the Simi Valley-Moorpark Multiple Listing Service to
its more than 850 participants and subscribers. The SVMAR always strives to
protect and preserve the rights of real property owners.
