Working With Real Estate Data was inspired by RESO’s membership, a group of hundreds of organizations that represent the majority of organized real estate. MLSs wanted a way to bring their staff and vendors up to speed quickly on industry data topics. Brokers and vendors wanted an objective way to show their data partners that they understood the rules of the road. Startup organizations needed a way to quickly learn the intricacies of the real estate data space to streamline their ability to scale across markets.

These common and consistent requests from the industry were brought to RESO to find a neutral organization to define the curriculum. RESO’s course content is designed to help move the industry forward with knowledge and efficient partnerships, no matter which role a course student serves in. The topics in the course will continue to be updated as the industry’s technology infrastructure continues to evolve.
