SEATTLE, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow Group,
which houses a portfolio of the largest and most vibrant real
estate and home-related brands on mobile and Web, today announced
that Bridge Interactive™ has added more than 10 multiple listing
services (MLSs) representing more than 180,000 agents to its
growing customer base. When Zillow Group acquired Bridge in
August 2016, the company was working
with MLSs serving more than 400,000 members.
"We are pleased with the growing adoption of Bridge Interactive
within the industry," said Errol
Samuelson, Zillow Group chief industry development officer.
"Listing data management is a complex challenge for MLSs and
brokers. For more than 10 years MLSs have relied upon Bridge's
innovations to simplify listing management significantly for
everyone involved."
The new MLS partners will be implementing Bridge's Compose™
product, which incorporates the RETS 1.8 Update data standard,
providing the MLS and its members with an efficient single point of
entry process.
"We chose Bridge Interactive because of their experience and
knowledge of industry standards," said Mike
Canova, chief financial officer of the Georgia Multiple
Listing Service. "We're excited to be working with Bridge on our
RETS Update project, and looking forward to bringing our members an
efficient process for adding and editing listings in our
market."

- Northern Alabama Multiple Listing Service; Huntsville, Ala.

Angeles, Calif.

technology receives and standardizes real estate data from partner
MLSs and county authorities, and provides authorized access via
simple, well documented APIs.
Bridge Interactive solutions simplify the listings management
process from beginning to end. Bridge's listing input tools help
solve the inefficiencies and the additional costs of repetitive
data entry that is pervasive throughout the residential real estate
industry. Each of Bridge's distribution platforms help ensure
customers are compliant with industry standards and provide clients
with better security and control over their
content.
