    Knock, a buy-before-you-sell platform, has announced its inaugural $100 million asset-backed securitization, providing $900 million in revolving lending capacity over two years. This move allows Knock to scale its lending operations and expand its Bridge Loan product, which enables homeowners to buy another home before selling their current one. The company witnessed a 126% year-over-year jump in funded loans between July 2024 and July 2025.

    BuildersUpdate.com has launched new tools for agents, including real-time access to builder listings, incentive tracking, and an Agent Training Program. The platform aims to help agents capitalize on the market as mortgage rates fall and builders offer concessions. A key feature is its "4th Quarter Marketing Strategy" module, designed to communicate urgency and convert buyers while incentives remain favorable.

    RE/MAX has introduced Marketing as a Service (MaaS), an AI-powered platform that helps its 145,000 agents across the U.S. and Canada market smarter and serve clients more effectively. The platform consolidates listing tools, ad programs, and analytics into a single dashboard, enabling agents to launch strategic campaigns with ease.

    RealPlus has unveiled its Prodigy Suite, an AI-powered toolkit designed to streamline workflows for New York City real estate professionals. The suite includes multilingual property search, AI writing assistance, market analysis, neighborhood guides, and listing comparison tools.

    The Waco Association of Realtors (WAOR) is adding Property Shield as a benefit for its members, providing fraud monitoring services including listing photo protection, detection of price alterations, and unauthorized use of agent information. Agents using the monitoring technology receive real-time alerts if any fraudulent activity is detected on their listings.
