18 October 2017 - 12:00AM
Black Knight, Inc. (NYSE:BKI), a leading provider of integrated
software, data and analytics solutions that facilitate and automate
many of the business processes across the homeownership lifecycle,
today announced a strategic alliance with Homebot, a fast-growing,
privately held fintech company located in Denver, Colo. The two
companies are offering Homebot’s cutting-edge client engagement
tool to the real estate industry.
The Homebot application is a mobile-centric, interactive
solution that enables real estate professionals to continuously
engage their client base and help maintain long-term relationships.
Leveraging Black Knight’s nationwide, industry-leading property
database and advanced analytics, including the company’s automated
valuation models, the Homebot application delivers actionable data
to consumers to help them make informed home finance decisions and
increase their wealth.
Homebot offers consumers access to the application on the device
of their choice, such as smartphones, tablets – even desktops. The
solution leverages cutting-edge technology, including bots: small
pieces of computer code that automatically gather the data and
distill it in a clear, easy-to-understand format.
Consumers receive a highly personalized monthly report that lets
them know the value of their homes and how much wealth can be built
from their properties. The report includes current value, available
equity, potential rental and property-investment income, tips for
saving money on mortgage payments, purchasing power for trading up
to a new home and much more.
The interactive application facilitates collaboration between
real estate agents and consumers by allowing the homeowner to
easily connect to the agent for more information. Branded to the
real estate professional, the solution provides agents and brokers
with a powerful client engagement tool. Additionally, the homeowner
can share the application with friends and family -- so they can
also receive personalized reports, generating more potential leads
for agents.
The solution also supports real estate brokerages that have
in-house or affiliated mortgage lending capabilities by offering
branding with both the agent and lender information, helping not
only to generate more listings, but also opportunities for first
and second mortgages, refinances and home equity lines.
“Every year, real estate professionals spend a considerable
amount of time and money on lead generation. Homebot offers an
affordable, proven and automated way to keep agents top of mind
with their clients, even after a sale has closed. By re-engaging an
agent’s entire client base every month with valuable
wealth-building information, Homebot helps generate new referrals
and increase Comparable Market Analysis volume for new listings. It
fundamentally changes long-term client retention and engagement,”
said Homebot Chief Executive Officer Ernie Graham. “Our strategic
alliance with Black Knight provides us with access to the company’s
nationwide leading data and analytics, so we can offer this unique
and valuable solution across the U.S.”
“With the Homebot application, we are expanding on our strategy
of providing the real estate industry with cutting-edge, mobile and
collaborative tools that facilitate interactivity between real
estate professionals and their clients,” said Black Knight Data
& Analytics Group Executive and President Kevin Coop. “Using
Homebot, we can help industry professionals maintain long-term
relationships with clients by providing valuable, actionable data,
to help drive more business.”
