Real estate thrives on data. But when it comes to home performance, there’s often been a missing link between how the real estate and home performance industries handle information. This disconnect has meant that value from key home features like attic insulation and HVAC systems often flies under the radar in transactions, leading to missed opportunities for homeowners, buyers, and agents alike.

Pearl Certification is helping to change that by partnering with leading proptech platforms and data providers to bridge this gap. Our recent partnership with RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) is an exciting step forward. By integrating RESNET’s extensive database of over 4.5 million HERS®-rated homes directly into Pearl Certification reports, we’re making it easier than ever to recognize and value home performance where it matters most - in the real estate market.

For agents, buyers, and sellers, having accurate, accessible data is crucial. Yet home performance metrics have historically been overlooked or difficult to capture in real estate workflows. That’s where Pearl’s partnership with RESNET makes a difference. With this integration, that information is pulled directly into Pearl’s certification documentation, so all parties can quickly see the value these features bring to a home.

Bringing Home Performance into the Spotlight

Pearl’s Certification Report and Marketing Package already equips real estate professionals with a powerful resource to highlight a home’s performance features. By adding RESNET’s trusted data to these reports, Pearl helps ensure that performance features stay visible and valuable long after a home’s initial sale.

Strategic Partnerships for Real Estate Transformation

Our work with RESNET is just one of several integrations we’ve rolled out this year. We’ve made Pearl’s Certification data accessible through platforms like RealReports, which provides agents with AI-driven property insights, and Ocusell, an MLS tool that streamlines listing updates. With these collaborations, real estate professionals can access the home performance data they need at every step, making each transaction more transparent and efficient.

What’s Next: Moving the Industry Forward

Integrating data in real estate isn’t just about better tools - it’s also about rethinking how we value and sell homes. And we’re all in this together. For real change to take hold, everyone has a role to play:

  • MLS Leadership: Working with data partners like Pearl Certification helps make it easier for agents to add essential details - like home performance metrics - to listings. This collaboration ensures agents have the information they need to support data-driven transactions.

  • Real Estate Agents: Within your brokerage, push for tools like Pearl Certification, Ocusell, and RealReports. These platforms not only streamline the transaction process but also give clients a clearer picture of a property’s full value.

  • State Energy Officials: To help drive transformation, collaborate with real estate pros and MLSs to make home performance data a standard in transactions. Supporting agent training on these features is a great way to build broader understanding and appreciation for energy-efficient data.


We’re excited about the road ahead and look forward to a modernized real estate industry where home performance data is effortlessly woven into every step of the process.
