It's Mostly Cloudy at MRED

LISLE, Ill., Aug. 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), Chicagoland's multiple listing service (MLS), announced that Cloud Streams has gone live as the newest MRED service offered to its real estate professionals.

Cloud Streams is the listing alert and collaboration tool that real estate brokers will love to use from the folks who provide Cloud CMA, W &R Studios. It allows you to send gorgeous listing alerts to prospective purchasers via email or text, and has real-time MLS property information. Photos are front and center, to give possible buyers a window shopping experience they will love.  Brokers are notified immediately when a customer "likes" or makes a comment on a property, and Cloud Streams works on any device.

Adding Cloud Streams is just the latest initiative pursued by the Midwest MLS giant.  MRED is committed to supporting its real estate professionals with many different marketing tools, including its social networking listings delivery tool, the Share My Listings (SMyL) widget; RatePlug, which integrates real-time mortgage payment information into MLS listing reports; and the very popular Cloud CMA, the easy to use CMA and listing presentation software.

"With Cloud Streams agents can collaborate with their buyers in style," stated Greg Robertson, co-founder of W &R Studios.  "Cloud Streams is a perfect tool to help agents keep more buyers and past clients" concluded Mr. Robertson.

"Cloud Streams caught my eye from the moment I first saw it," said MRED President/Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Jensen.  "Delivering the freshest information in the most consumer friendly way to prospective purchasers is critical to service the public today.  W &R Studios has hit another home run with this latest product."
