Home Performance Data in a Transformed Industry

Agents need help. Innovations in energy-efficient and performance features have transformed the ways homes are built, retrofitted, and sold. Agents are now responsible for properly highlighting things like solar arrays, electric vehicle chargers, whole home batteries and cutting edge heating and cooling systems in their listings. But those features are not always well represented in contracts and purchase documents.

By integrating with Pearl Insights, our rich and flexible data set, MLSs and real estate technology providers can enhance the agent experience in numerous ways:

  • Prepopulate MLS fields with data on any certified home
  • Enhance home search sites with high-value home metrics
  • Seamlessly incorporate Pearl Certifications, including efficiency and power production data, into listings and agent tools and platforms
  • Leverage home performance data for Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) and in the appraisal or underwriting process.

Pearl Insights

Our API provides access to home performance data, including solar, certification, and energy efficiency information on more than four million homes, including data fields mapped to the RESO standard to simplify and enhance real estate listings. For more details, visit our Developer Documentation.

With our API integration, data on certified homes flows cleanly into listings, mapping directly to standard RESO fields. Pearl appears in Data Dictionary 2.0 as a Green Verification type, and we are able to populate more than 40 fields — going beyond "green" data to also enrich interior feature fields, and more. 

Our data can also be accessed as a Pearl Certification, along with the accompanying report and marketing materials, making it easy for agents to translate the value and benefits of their listing's performance features to buyers, lenders and appraisers. Our Solar Certification calculates the equity of a solar array on behalf of the listing agent and seller. Solar data can also help identify which listings or addresses include solar arrays and power production.
