Overview

In the dynamic world of real estate, success hinges on the ability to access accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date property data. However, the process of accessing and integrating data from multiple sources, such as public records, MLS listings, and foreclosure information, can be a daunting task. Attom Data Solutions recognized this challenge and the need for a powerful data aggregation solution to streamline this process and provide a unified view of the nationwide real estate market.

Attom’s clients, including appraisers, real estate agents, investors, mortgage companies, and tax reduction professionals, heavily rely on accurate property data to make informed decisions. However, the company's legacy desktop application, initially serving a few users, was no longer sufficient to meet the industry’s growing demands.

This strategic collaboration aimed to create a seamless platform that would bridge the gap between users and professional retouchers, enabling efficient communication and streamlining the retouching process. 

CS Solutions' deep understanding of the industry's needs and their commitment to delivering innovative solutions made them an ideal partner for UnSap Pty. Ltd. By combining their respective strengths, the collaboration paved the way for the development of USnap, a groundbreaking mobile application that addresses the pain points of real estate professionals and photography enthusiasts.
