echnology continues to reshape real estate, with new tools and alliances emerging across the sector. Below are the latest highlights.

    **Benutech expands Title Toolbox with Daily Lead Alerts**

    Benutech adds a feature that tracks public life events—divorces, deaths, bankruptcies, etc.—within a user‑defined three‑mile radius. When an event occurs, agents receive an instant notification, turning timely changes into potential listings. The service costs $30 per month and is marketed as a way to “accelerate business growth” by connecting agents with prospects at the right moment.

    **Zillow partners with Esusu to launch CreditClimb**

    Zillow and Esusu have teamed up to offer CreditClimb, a program that reports renters’ on‑time payments to the major credit bureaus. Only 13% of renters currently report rent, leaving many without credit data for future loans. CreditClimb costs $20 annually and can raise scores by an average of 45 points, according to Esusu. The initiative is framed as a path to “dignity, stability, and the American Dream.”

    **LiveBy and Renowned join forces for local‑marketing power**

    LiveBy’s local market insights will be integrated into Renowned’s agent‑marketing platform, enabling brokers to showcase verified local expertise and client reviews across social media and websites. The partnership emphasizes AI‑search optimization, making it easier for agents to be discovered for what they know best: their community knowledge. Todd Bohling, LiveBy CEO, highlighted the collaboration’s potential to “transform verified local insights into authentic, engaging marketing.”
