This edition of Tech Trends provides updates on digital solutions impacting diverse corners of the housing industry.
Integrated Systems. RESAAS Services Inc. (TSXV: RSS) (OTCQB: RSASF), announced an integration with Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company. According to the companies, this integration will enable RESAAS’ enterprise clients to seamlessly synchronize proprietary real estate data captured through the RESAAS platform directly into their existing Snowflake environments.
As a result, RESAAS added, customers will be able to perform advanced analytics, build custom models, and generate deeper insights using their preferred business intelligence and data science tools.
“Enterprise real estate organizations are increasingly data-driven, but too often their most valuable external datasets live in silos,” said Tom Rossiter, CEO of RESAAS. “The RESAAS+Snowflake integration allows our largest customers to fully operationalize RESAAS data within their existing data stacks, unlocking significantly more value, insight, and speed to decision-making.”
Expanded Insurance Choices. Matic, a digital insurtech platform, announced a strategic partnership with nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO), a banking solutions provider. According to the companies, the partnership will bring Matic’s embedded home insurance marketplace solution into nCino’s mortgage point of sale product, allowing borrowers to shop for insurance inside the digital loan experience.
Through the nCino Mortgage Solution, lenders can present multiple insurance options to their borrowers from Matic’s network of over 70 carriers. Borrowers can shop for coverage digitally or connect with a licensed advisor to secure a policy, the companies added.
“Insurance can be complicated and stressful, especially when it’s left until the last step of the homebuying process,” said Ben Madick, CEO and co-founder of Matic. “We’re thrilled to partner with nCino to simplify a traditionally difficult step for borrowers and help lenders keep the mortgage process on track.”
Ensuring FinCEN Reporting Compliance. WFG National Title Insurance Company has rolled out a suite of FinCEN reporting solutions designed to help title agents meet the new federal requirements of the FinCen Residential Real Estate Rule that takes effect on March 1.
Already in use within the company’s direct operations, WFG’s FinCEN solutions are now available to members of WFG’s agent network as well as independent title agents. According to the company, the tools are built to simplify compliance, reduce manual workload, and provide audit-ready documentation.
“FinCEN reporting is no longer a geographic specific requirement, it is becoming a routine part of residential real estate transactions nationwide,” said Don O’Neill, executive vice president, chief compliance officer and deputy general counsel for WFG. “This Rule spans all 50 states and thousands of recording jurisdictions. The industry needs solutions that are both legally sound and operationally practical. Our goal is to help customers meet their obligations without adding friction to the closing process.”
Using AI in Loan Origination. Bevri, a New York City-based agentic artificial intelligence company, has debuted the Bevri Point-of-Sale (POS), platform designed to intelligently automate and orchestrate the front end of the mortgage process for loan originators.
According to the company, Bevri coordinates data collection, calculations, and underwriting logic in real time. The platform, which is powered by TidalWave, marks Bevri’s transition from its initial beta phase into a broader closed rollout. NEXA Lending is Bevri’s first client for this offering.
“This launch represents a meaningful evolution in agentic AI for mortgage origination,” said the company in a press statement. “The Bevri POS is not a static tool, it’s an intelligent system that works alongside the loan officer, handling complexity so they can focus on advising borrowers and building relationships.”
