HomeSmart Technology Continues Improving Agent Experience With App Updates


Matt Widdows, HomeSmart founder, CEO and tech visionary

Matt Widdows, HomeSmart founder, CEO and tech visionary

“HomeSmart is devoted to providing agents with the best possible real estate experience,” said Matt Widdows, HomeSmart’s founder, CEO and tech visionary.

HomeSmart International, the most successful 100% brokerage model according to the RealTrends 500, continues to improve the agent experience with its proprietary cutting-edge technology. The company’s in-house development team has implemented several advancements to the RealSmart Agent transaction management software and mobile application in the last quarter, with the goal of providing agents complete visibility into a seamless transaction process from his or her smartphone.

“HomeSmart is devoted to providing agents with the best possible real estate experience,” said Matt Widdows, HomeSmart’s founder, CEO and tech visionary. “Having our own development team at headquarters gives us a competitive advantage; we can begin working on software fixes and new features as soon as we receive feedback from agents and brokers.”

Since releasing an updated RealSmart Agent platform in 2017, HomeSmart International’s software has helped the company maintain staffing levels while realizing a 12.5% increase in agent transaction sides each year.

The transaction management software now includes an advanced feature that allows agents to access information on how many views a listing has received on HomeSmart.com, Zillow.com and Trulia.com. This new update provides a digital one-stop-shop for agents to access important information on their listings and provides them with the ability to better track their performance.

“I love the agent panel, which allows me to manage my website, access marketing materials, and submit every part of the contract electronically,” said HomeSmart Colorado agent Bradley Cook.

At the suggestion of an agent, HomeSmart’s development team added a toggle button on the RealSmart Agent listing screen that allows for rental or sale files to be easily accessed on the same page as the listing. This eliminates the need for agents to click through separate tabs to access or edit documents and information from either side of the transaction.

“My agents love the RealSmart Agent mobile app,” said Stephanie Sandoval, broker and owner of HomeSmart Lifestyles in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Fountain Hills, Arizona. “In between appointments, they can pull over to check their documents and see the status of their transactions, allowing them to feel extra confident walking into their next appointment. They never have to wait to get to the office and love the convenience of always being mobile.”

RealSmart Agent has always allowed for easier communication, and the implementation of a “Special Instruction Notes” section on the agent’s commission screen has made communication within the app more effective. The advancement provides the option for agents to communicate specific information regarding commission reimbursement, fees and closing needs to the closing team to ensure that the file is closed correctly. These notes eliminate the need for additional communication outside of the app.

As a brokerage known for extensive training, HomeSmart provides agents with access to endless opportunities for career growth from its interactive education class schedule. Agents can now view, register and manage available CE classes from their RealSmart Agent portal, and download completed course certificates to boost credibility with clients.

“The implementation of an easily accessible and comprehensive mobile app has allowed us to further improve the performance of our agents and the level of service they provide to their clients,” added Widdows.

HomeSmart International has a network of nearly 18,000 agents across 35 states. The brokerage has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for seven consecutive years and is ranked in the top 5 real estate brokerages in the United States by the REAL Trends 500.

About HomeSmart International:

Founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Matt Widdows, HomeSmart International quickly became the fastest-growing real estate brokerage firm in Arizona and still holds that distinction today.

Coronet Partners with Coalition to Offer Combined Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity and Cyber Insurance Product for Small and Midsize Businesses


News Image

Our relationship with Coalition was a natural tie-in for us. Their mission to mitigate risk for businesses who are often left out of the equation is exactly what we set out to do when we launched Coronet.

Leader in small business cybersecurity Coronet today announced a cutting-edge partnership with Coalition, the leading cyber insurance provider for small and midsized businesses. Through this partnership, Coronet customers may obtain market leading cyber insurance products offered by Coalition, combining Coronet’s data breach protection platform with cyber insurance coverage up to $500,000. Together, Coronet and Coalition are filling a significant void in cybersecurity – accessibility to cyber insurance – by becoming the first industry partners to protect the full spectrum of small and midsized business cyber risk.

“Together with Coronet we have the opportunity to pioneer a new approach to cybersecurity by providing comprehensive security protection to prevent incidents, together with insurance, to help mitigate and recover from them,” said Joshua Motta, co-founder and CEO of Coalition. “The result is far fewer breaches; far less cost to detect, contain, and recover when one occurs; and the backstop of insurance to make a company whole again.”

Coalition and Coronet have partnered with the goal of making cyber insurance and cybersecurity more accessible for small and midsized businesses, as many are traditionally uninsured or under-protected from cyber incidents. While they face just as many threats as large corporations, small businesses often lack the time, money and resources needed to protect themselves against breaches. This partnership democratizes access to cyber insurance products to a broad group of smaller businesses that are already taking proactive steps to improve their security posture by using Coronet’s data breach protection platform.

Ensuring complete security for a business, including email security, cloud applications, bring-your-own-devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and data security, can be an operational nightmare. Instead of using multiple, expensive systems, Coronet created an all-in-one cyber defense platform that uses AI to monitor all of a business’s security needs. This cost-effective approach is making enterprise-grade security more attainable for SMBs and SMEs. Moving forward, Coronet strengthens its value to customers even further by making available a trusted cyber insurance product tailored by Coalition to their unique exposures.

“Our relationship with Coalition was a natural tie-in for us,” said Coronet CEO Guy Moskowitz. “Their mission to mitigate risk for businesses who are often left out of the equation is exactly what we set out to do when we launched Coronet. We’re excited to provide solutions throughout the entire risk life-cycle with this partnership.”

Coronet is an industry leader in data breach protection for companies that use the cloud, and this partnership will allow their customers access a trusted cyber insurance product tailored by Coalition to their specific exposure requirements. The bundled insurance offering will be included as part of Coronet’s Platinum product at no additional cost. For more information on the Coronet cybersecurity products + Coalition insurance products, visit coro.net.

About Coronet

Coronet is a world leader in providing organizations of every size with cyber defense for their email, cloud applications, any endpoint, and data leakage prevention. Coronet’s platform uses AI to detect and mitigate threats, eliminating the need for a security team to chase down security events. Provided as a subscription service, with nothing to install on premises, Coronet brings enterprise grade cyber defense to organizations at an affordable price, eliminating the complexity and laborious nature of traditional security platforms. With the backing of JVP and other leading international investors, Coronet grew to over 3 million users in 2019.

About Coalition

Coalition, one of the fastest-growing providers of cyber insurance in the United States, combines comprehensive insurance and proactive cybersecurity tools to help businesses manage and mitigate cyber risk. Backed by A+/A rated insurers Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, Lloyd’s of London, and Argo Group, Coalition provides companies with up to $15 million of cyber and technology insurance coverage in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Coalition’s cyber risk management platform provides automated security alerts, threat intelligence, expert guidance, and cybersecurity tools to help businesses remain resilient in the face of cyberattacks. Coalition is headquartered in San Francisco.

** All insurance products offered by Coalition, a licensed producer in all states and the District of Columbia.

Trackeroo Solves the $700 Million AirPods Lost Problem


News Image

Even more, an estimate from one Wall Street analyst states that replacement AirPods will account for $700 million of all AirPods sales this year. Trackeroo helps solve this half a billion-dollar problem with a fast way to track lost AirPods in seconds.

On October 15, 2019, Trackeroo™ a consumer tech design company, launched its high-quality silicone case to keep consumers from losing their AirPods. Named Trackeroo for its front pouch similar to the pouch on a kangaroo, the patent pending device holds many of the most popular tracking devices in front of the AirPod case, which is snugly secured in the main pouch. Trackeroo™ was developed in response to the many devastating losses of AirPods.

According to the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) for New York City’s subways, more than 100 AirPods were rescued from the subway tracks between July 2018 and July 2019. Even more, an estimate from one Wall Street analyst states that replacement AirPods will account for $700 million of all AirPods sales this year. Trackeroo helps solve this half a billion-dollar problem with a fast way to track lost AirPods in seconds.

The case is available in seven vibrant colors and is built with two pockets to firmly fit a tracking device (sold separately) such as the recently released Tile Mate 2020 and either generation of AirPods. Anytime AirPods are misplaced, a customer can log into the tracking device’s app and pinpoint the AirPod’s location and activate the tracker’s loud “Here I am!” beep sound.

Additionally, a flap in the base is sized to allow access to Apple’s lightning cable and charges through the silicone case for wireless charging on AirPods 2. The Trackeroo case never has to come off.

Compatible trackers include but not limited to the Tile Mate Replaceable Battery (Models T5001 and T9001), Tile Pro (Model EC-15002), Tile Sport (old version EC-09001), Cube (Model C7001), Itek (Model 2TKF-12/0036), Nutale (Model F9), and XY4+.

To purchase a Trackeroo on Amazon, please visit https://amzn.to/2pJ7az3. For more information about Trackeroo, visit https://www.trackeroo.co/.

About Trackeroo

Founded in 2019, patent pending Trackeroo was developed to eliminate time searching for lost AirPods. With Trackeroo, consumers can securely affix their favorite tracking device, such as the Tile Mate 2018 or 2020 (3rd & 4th generation), Cube, Nutale, or XY4+ (sold separately) to their AirPods, so that finding them is just tap away. Available in seven brilliant colors, including glow-in-the-dark, users can protect their AirPods case with form fitting silicone and give it the grip it needs. The Trackeroo also includes a carabiner and keyring so consumers can attach their Trackeroo to a variety of objects.

Once deployed, Addigy allows for full utilization of the new macOS feature set, including support for 64-bit systems and advanced privacy controls.

“The Apple Device Management platform is an important complement for businesses deploying Catalina across tens, hundreds or thousands of macOS systems, in terms of security, compliance and time to production,” said Jason Dettbarn, CEO, Addigy. “We thank the SDC Awards as our team remains focused on providing this enterprise-class solution.”

The SDC (Storage, Digitalization + Cloud) Awards is the new name for the Angel Business Communications’ IT awards, which are now focused on recognizing and rewarding success in the products and services at the foundation for digital transformation. The 2019 finalists will be ranked by an independent panel of experts for exceptional performance, service metrics, business presence and results, then recognized at a black-tie awards gala dinner and ceremony in London on November 27, 2019.

Addigy Apple Device Management for Catalina enables IT solution providers and businesses to rapidly and automatically upgrade their entire network of macOS systems to the new 10.15 OS, the most advanced version of Apple’s operating system to date. With Catalina, there are significant upgrades to end-user privacy and system security. Additionally, the new OS provides the ability for users to create macOS apps from iPad apps and run those apps natively alongside existing macOS applications so that users can drag and drop content between them. Full advantage can be taken of the larger screen and powerful architecture of the macOS system to provide a seamless experience across devices.

Catalina now focuses on 64-bit applications and ends support for 32-bit apps. The move to 64-bit allows modernization of the OS to take advantage of new capabilities while reducing the attack footprint of the device. Catalina also includes stronger end-user privacy controls that are more closely in-sync with Apple iOS.

Eggtronic Announces Next-Gen Universal Charger


Sirius Universal Laptop Charger

In addition to being smaller and lighter than any other competing charger, Sirius leads the industry in superior device charging speed and energy efficiency. The charger boasts a 93% energy conversion rate.

Eggtronic, an innovative power electronics company, today announced the expanded North American distribution of its Sirius Universal Laptop Charger, the smallest 65-watt USB Type-C Power Delivery laptop adapter in the world. The expansion will help bring the lightweight, elegant and eco-friendly charger into the homes of more consumers.

“Users will be able to save on their energy costs, reduce clutter and add some Italian design to their homes every time they plug in a charging cable,” Igor Spinella, Eggtronic’s CEO, said. “Business travelers will be able to travel with their tech with ease. We are proud to partner with some of the biggest retailers to expand the reach of our smartly designed product.”

The Sirius Universal Laptop Charger is available at Office Depot, Best Buy Canada and Amazon, and will be sold in several other exclusive retail distributors soon.

With Sirius, Eggtronic has created a powerful charging solution for today’s mobile consumers. The charger is compatible with all major laptops, smartphones, tablets and smart devices and weighs a mere 3.35 ounces, with dimensions of 2.70 by 1.98 by 0.77 inches. The consumer can replace a drawerful of separate chargers for separate devices with just one, slim and versatile Sirius.

Sirius is also an excellent travel companion. Being no larger than a deck of cards, business travelers can replace bulky and heavy AC adaptors and save valuable space in carry-on bags and hand luggage.

Eggtronic engineers achieved this breakthrough in design thanks to their proprietary EcoVoltas technology, making the power conversion module inside Sirius is incredibly power dense. The intelligent charger responds to USB-C devices with the advanced USB Power Delivery output. Automatic smart-detection of different voltages (from 5 to 20 volts) and current (from 0.1 to 3.25 amperes) ensures universal compatibility while achieving fast charging and safe operations.

To build this product, Eggtronic has exploited gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs from Navitas, the El Segundo, California-based inventor and manufacturer of GaNFast technology. Unlike the previous generation of transistors made of slow silicon, Navitas uses speed-optimized GaN semiconductors. GaNFast power ICs thus help shrink the size, weight and cost of the new fast-charging mobile adapters.

Sirius has been carefully designed to follow the strictest international quality standards. It is certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and UL; and complies with the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), California Proposition 65, and the U.S. Department of Energy Level VI Energy Efficiency Standard.

In addition to being smaller and lighter than any other competing charger, Sirius leads the industry in superior device charging speed and energy efficiency. The charger boasts a 93% energy conversion rate.

“Sirius is a great example of science meeting art,” said Gene Sheridan, Navitas CEO. “Navitas’ dedicated GaNFast technologists worked alongside Eggtronic’s engineering and industrial design teams to deliver a benchmark-performance fast-charger with elegant design.”

The Sirius Universal Laptop Charger is scheduled to be rolled out via all major personal tech retailers next year.
