Point2 and CREA Launch the Third Party Distribution Module for DDF

In partnership with the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), Point2 launched this past week the Third Party module of the Data Distribution Facility (DDF).

This new service provides real estate listing syndication services for all CREA members and enhanced controls for brokers to specify where and how their listing data may be utilized. In cooperation with CREA, Point2 has also instituted an entirely new third party agreement with select real estate consumer portals that places restrictions on data usage.

The DDF provides extensive reports to CREA members, CREA staff, and Boards/Associations regarding performance for each portal. This new system will also provide CREA with the ability to develop and customize additional reports and new services for members in the future if they so choose.

Point2 expects to launch this new service in the U.S. during the next several months. We will be contacting all existing customers to demonstrate these new services and discuss participation options.
