What is Realfinity?

Realfinity enables businesses with a captive audience to attach mortgage services as an ancillary offering to their core business. Its proprietary HomeDashboard® platform is the foundation of an effort to build an embedded finance solution for residential real estate. Businesses ranging from real estate brokerages to homebuilders are able to make property data and mortgage products accessible to their consumers throughout the entire real estate lifecycle.

Situation

Realfinity provides the foundation for businesses to provide equal access to real estate and finance data, empowering homeowners and homebuyers to make data-driven decisions that maximize their investment.

The company initially contracted with another data provider but later discovered it had significant limitations. As a startup, Realfinity was constrained by the data provider’s pricing structure, while the dataset limitations restricted what property insights the company could provide its users. Knowing access to comprehensive and accurate data was fundamental to its business, Realfinity opted to evaluate data providers that could meet both current and future needs.

Realfinity sought a provider that offered high-quality data, transparent pricing, and the flexibility to meet the company’s evolving data and delivery needs. “For proptechs, data is mission critical. If you don’t have accurate and comprehensive datasets, you can’t deliver on your value proposition,” said Realfinity CEO Luca Dahlhausen.

Solution

Following a review of real estate data providers, Realfinity selected BatchData based on the following capabilities:

  • Multi-sourced data with nationwide coverage and comprehensive datasets
  • Pricing and packaging that’s clear and accessible for a startup
  • Custom data delivery methods to meet business needs as they evolve
  • A consultative partner that understands the needs of property technology firms
  • Deep technical knowledge and collaborative solutions driven mindset
 

Realfinity initially implemented BatchData’s API, but after the company discovered an opportunity to deliver richer insights in its platform by tapping into several complementary datasets, the companies worked together to create a bulk data delivery agreement.

Flexibility is one of the ways BatchData differentiates itself from other data providers. Realfinity CEO Luca Dahlhausen explains the positive impact this dynamic approach has had on his company, “From taking the time to understand our business and data requirements to providing flexible pricing and delivery methods, BatchData has been responsive to our needs and established a dynamic partnership with our team.”

Result

Since partnering with BatchData, Realfinity’s data accuracy rates have increased significantly. In addition to getting higher quality data from BatchData, the complementary datasets Realfinity is able to access by using a bulk data delivery have allowed it to provide market and mortgage insights that weren’t available through its original data provider.

In conjunction with its data solutions, BatchData recognizes the importance of providing clients with the tools and support they need to get the most from their data investment.
