RiVirtual Launches 2025 Real Estate Awards Expanding Recognition Across US Canada and India

Published

on

RiVirtual is now inviting nominations from industry professionals, associations, and consumers. Voting will be open to both peer professionals and the public, allowing a combination of expert evaluation and customer sentiment to shape the final results.

Anaheim, CA, United States, 12th Aug 2025 – RiVirtual, a global leader in real estate innovation and technology, has announced the launch of the 2025 Real Estate Awards, a premier industry recognition program set to honor excellence in property development, real estate marketing, sales performance, and customer service. The annual initiative—spanning three countries—reflects RiVirtual’s mission to spotlight those who are not only succeeding commercially but also transforming how the real estate sector serves buyers, investors, and communities.

The awards arrive at a pivotal time for the global property market. Post-pandemic demand shifts, evolving buyer expectations, and the rise of digital-first real estate transactions have changed the competitive landscape. Developers, brokers, and lenders now face heightened pressure to deliver quality, transparency, and value. Against this backdrop, RiVirtual has positioned the 2025 Real Estate Awards as more than a celebration—it is designed as a benchmark for the industry’s future.

Introducing the RiVirtual Builder Score
At the heart of this year’s program is the RiVirtual Builder Score, a proprietary evaluation model that assesses real estate companies and professionals through the 4As: Accessibility, Affordability, Availability, and Authenticity. Each metric addresses a critical element in the property buying and selling process:

  • Accessibility – The ease with which clients can connect with and navigate a builder’s services, both online and offline.
  • Affordability – Pricing strategies that deliver competitive value without compromising quality.
  • Availability – Timely delivery of projects, inventory readiness, and responsiveness to market demand.
  • Authenticity – Transparency, ethical practices, and the credibility of marketing claims.

This scoring system aims to address a long-standing industry challenge: the lack of a consistent, transparent framework for evaluating market players. Unlike rankings based purely on sales volume or project scale, the RiVirtual Builder Score incorporates qualitative measures such as customer experience, innovative design, and sustainability practices.

According to RiVirtual, this approach is intended to help both buyers and investors make better-informed decisions—reducing uncertainty and elevating the industry’s reputation.

Top 25 Companies Across Borders
The awards will recognize the Top 25 Real Estate Companies from each region—the U.S., Canada, and India—drawing from major metropolitan markets.

Award Categories Include:

  • Best Builders
  • Best Realtors
  • Best Residential Plot Developers
  • Best Commercial Brokerage
  • Best Lenders
  • Best Residential Brokerage

In each category, companies will be evaluated not only on performance metrics but also on innovation, adaptability, and long-term value creation for clients and stakeholders.

Key Dates and Deadlines
To ensure a fair and comprehensive evaluation, RiVirtual has established region-specific nomination windows:

  • USA & Canada Nominations Close: September 15, 2025
  • India Nominations Close: July 15, 2025
  • Shortlist Announcement: October 1, 2025 (USA & Canada) and September 1, 2025 (India)
  • Awards Ceremony: December 15, 2025

Cities in Focus
The awards will target top-performing markets in each country, ensuring representation from a diverse range of economic and cultural hubs:

United States: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Francisco

Canada: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hamilton, Victoria

India: Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow

These cities were selected for their influence on national housing trends, investment flows, and their role as testbeds for new real estate innovations.

Beyond Rankings: Driving Industry Change
In launching the RiVirtual Builder Score, the company is also making a broader statement about the industry’s future. By placing equal emphasis on construction quality, customer experience, innovative design, and sustainability practices, RiVirtual is challenging market participants to raise the bar.

The company’s leadership has emphasized that the awards are not about rewarding the biggest names alone—they are about spotlighting those who are doing things differently and delivering measurable benefits to clients.

“Too often, real estate awards are popularity contests or sales-volume leaderboards,” said a RiVirtual spokesperson. “We believe recognition should be earned through consistent quality, integrity, and the ability to meet evolving buyer needs. That’s what the RiVirtual Builder Score is all about.”

Global Impact and Market Confidence
The program’s cross-border scope also carries strategic weight. By covering three of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world—the U.S., Canada, and India—RiVirtual hopes to encourage best-practice sharing and raise performance benchmarks internationally.

Analysts suggest that the awards could serve as a valuable trust signal for investors, especially in markets where transparency remains a challenge. In India, for example, the integration of sustainability and ethical practices into evaluation criteria could accelerate adoption of eco-friendly and socially responsible development. In North America, where competition is fierce and margins are narrowing, recognition through the RiVirtual Builder Score may help smaller but high-performing firms differentiate themselves.

RiVirtual is now inviting nominations from industry professionals, associations, and consumers. Voting will be open to both peer professionals and the public, allowing a combination of expert evaluation and customer sentiment to shape the final results.

“This is more than an awards program,” the company stated. “It’s an opportunity for the industry to recognize what truly matters in real estate—service, quality, transparency, and innovation.”

Nominations can be submitted via RiVirtual’s official website, and shortlisted candidates will be featured in a comprehensive industry report ahead of the awards ceremony in December.

With the 2025 Real Estate Awards, RiVirtual is positioning itself not just as a commentator on industry trends, but as an active driver of higher standards. For real estate professionals across the U.S., Canada, and India, this could be the recognition that sets them apart in an increasingly competitive global market.

KeyCrew Media Selects Brooke Pfautz as Verified Expert for Vacation Rental Management and Property Technology

Published

on

KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert.

NATIONWIDE, December 12, 2025 KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Pfautz will contribute data-driven analysis on vacation rental management, property technology innovation, and industry consolidation trends.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Brooke Pfautz brings unparalleled expertise to the vacation rental management sector, having helped over 950 companies scale their portfolios through strategic growth initiatives. As founder of both Vintory and Comparent, Pfautz has established herself as a leading voice on data-driven property acquisition, AI integration in hospitality operations, and market consolidation dynamics. Her work encompasses the largest database of vacation rental homeowners globally and the industry’s first comprehensive ranking system through the Comparent 100.

With 18 years of experience in the short-term rental industry, Pfautz successfully scaled Vantage Realty to over 500 properties before its acquisition. She has since focused on revolutionizing how professional vacation rental managers approach growth through Vintory’s data and marketing platform, which aggregates information from over 10 sources to create what she calls “stacked data architecture” — a proprietary approach that provides unprecedented accuracy in homeowner targeting.

Pfautz’s insights on artificial intelligence adoption have positioned her as a forward-thinking industry authority. She advocates that property managers not implementing AI-native tools by 2026 risk competitive obsolescence, emphasizing that data capture — particularly call recordings and guest communications — represents the critical intellectual property that will differentiate winners in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.

“I’m honored to be selected as a KeyCrew Verified Expert,” said Brooke Pfautz. “The vacation rental management industry is at a pivotal moment where data quality and AI adoption will separate thriving companies from those left behind. Having helped nearly 1,000 companies with their growth strategies, I’ve seen firsthand how the right data and technology stack can transform a mid-sized operator into a market leader. I’m excited to share insights that help property managers navigate consolidation pressures, leverage their unique data assets, and position themselves strategically whether they’re scaling independently or preparing for acquisition.”

Pfautz’s areas of expertise include:

  • Vacation Rental Management Growth Strategies — Proven frameworks for inventory acquisition and scaling beyond 10 million in gross bookings
  • Property Technology & AI Integration — Strategic guidance on AI-native tools, data architecture, and competitive positioning
  • Market Consolidation & M&A Dynamics — Insights on institutional capital trends, acquisition metrics, and positioning for exit
  • Homeowner Data & Marketing Analytics — Expertise in multi-source data aggregation, targeting precision, and marketing ROI optimization

KLOTA Launches Two Free Analysis Tools to Help E-Commerce Brands Improve Search and AI Visibility

Published

on

Sweden, 13th Dec 2025 – KLOTA AB, a Sweden-based digital performance and SEO consultancy, has announced the launch of two new free analysis tools designed specifically for serious e-commerce companies seeking stronger visibility, better performance, and clearer insights across search engines and AI-driven platforms. The newly released tools—the AI Visibility Analyzer and the Shopping Feed Analyzer—are currently available as free BETA services and deliver actionable results within approximately 10 minutes via email.

As search behavior rapidly evolves, e-commerce brands are no longer competing only for traditional Google rankings. Increasingly, consumers are discovering products and brands through AI-powered assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. KLOTA’s new tools are built to address this shift, providing practical diagnostics that help online retailers understand where they stand and what to fix.

The AI Visibility Analyzer focuses on how well a website is seen, accessed, and understood by modern AI search engines and large language models. The tool evaluates critical factors such as AI-bot accessibility (including robots.txt and llms.txt), content clarity and readability, structured data, and core technical SEO elements. Based on this analysis, it generates an easy-to-understand AI Visibility Score ranging from 0 to 100, along with clear, prioritized recommendations that highlight the most impactful improvements.

“This is about helping companies prepare for the next generation of search,” said Anders Karlsson, Contact at KLOTA AB. “Many e-commerce brands are still optimizing only for classic search results, while AI assistants are already shaping how users discover information and products. The AI Visibility Analyzer makes this new landscape measurable and actionable.”

The second tool, the Shopping Feed Analyzer (Google Shopping Feed Analyzer ), is designed for e-commerce businesses actively running Google Shopping and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. Poor feed quality is a common reason for disapproved products, limited reach, and underperforming ads. KLOTA’s tool performs an automated quality audit of a Google Shopping product feed , reviewing required attributes, product titles and descriptions, pricing accuracy, images, Google product categories, and overall compliance with Google’s specifications.

After the audit, users receive a detailed PDF report that includes an executive summary and a prioritized action list. This enables marketing and e-commerce teams to quickly identify errors, resolve disapprovals, and systematically improve feed quality for better campaign performance.

“Most feed issues are not strategic—they’re technical and fixable,” Karlsson added. “The challenge is knowing exactly where the problems are and what to address first. The Shopping Feed Analyzer removes that guesswork and gives teams a clear roadmap.”

Both tools are offered as free BETA services, reflecting KLOTA’s commitment to sharing expertise and helping e-commerce brands adapt to a more complex digital ecosystem. Once a website URL or product feed is submitted, the analysis is processed automatically and sent by email in about 10 minutes, making the tools accessible even for busy teams with limited technical resources.

While some information within the tools may be presented in English, the insights are designed to be universally applicable for international e-commerce brands aiming to compete more effectively in search, paid media, and AI-driven discovery.

With the launch of these tools, KLOTA reinforces its position as a forward-looking partner for e-commerce growth—bridging traditional SEO, paid shopping performance, and the emerging world of AI visibility.
