In addition, Kukun offers Relay users property data, photos, and property values using Automated Valuation Models (AVM) for individuals interested in learning more about specific home investments.

Relay will enable users to monitor the value of the owned real estate and handle different financial aspects related to the home by integrating Kukun's Property Tracking feature.

Kukun will supply SoFi with Automated Valuation Models (AVM) and images and improve its existing digital estimator under the contract terms.

Marlette Holdings, Inc., one of the leading financial technology companies that operate the Best Egg platform, recently announced a partnership with MRI Software, a global leader in real estate solutions. The Best Egg Flexible Rent platform allows tenants to customize their monthly rental payments by dividing the total amount into several smaller, more manageable installments that can be paid at any time during the month.

In addition, millions of renters are managed nationwide by the open and linked software created by MRI, which is used by thousands of multifamily property managers. Best Egg is committed to giving its clients the resources they need to manage their daily finances while fostering financial confidence. Therefore, the company is happy to collaborate with MRI to give payment flexibility to the renters who use its software. The company's new Flexible Rent platform is a natural extension of that aim. Flexible Rent gives tenants more control over how and when they pay bills and guarantees timely and full rent payments to property managers.

Flexible Rent will be offered to multifamily property managers and tenants via MRI RentPayment beginning in the first quarter of 2023 and will be rolled out to additional properties over time.
