PAR Launches Checkmate Listing Violation Detection Software from VestaPlus

Written by VestaPlus | May 1, 2024

As compensation is removed from the MLS, data quality is going to become an even more important core deliverable for MLSs. It's great to see innovation in the ever more important category of data quality control software.

Pensacola Association of REALTORS® understood the need for ever better data quality, so they partnered with VestaPlus™ to install CheckMate™ compliance software to ensure their data is as clean, comprehensive and timely as it can be.

Compliance is the bedrock upon which an MLS's credibility and operational integrity stands. The quality of MLS data is paramount to its value to the industry and to consumers.

There's also a practical reason to offer this type of service. It can save on labor costs of your own staff having to manually check for issues and inaccuracies. If you haven't considered the need for software to ensure your MLSs data is as accurate as it can be, now is the time to take a serious look at CheckMate and the other players in the data quality control software space. When looking for software, here are a few key elements I would suggest:

  • Ease and ability to localize to your rules and regs
  • Onboarding guidance and ongoing support provided by the software provider
  • Is the platform built with today's technology?
  • Ability to customize the messaging and easily include links, videos and FAQs in the communications.

The transformative impact of Checkmate is best illustrated through metrics. Let's consider a scenario where a compliance department grapples with 30 violations. In a manual process, this could translate to an arduous 8-hour ordeal. With Checkmate's automated detection and notification capabilities, the same task is accomplished in a mere two hours, representing a remarkable 75% time reduction.
