On Monday, we revealed the 2015 Real Estate Rockstars.
This is an elite supergroup of the real estate industry's top influencers across six different categories.
But it wasn't easy.
The process took months to complete.
We had to narrow down our selection over and over, whittling away the nominees, until, at last, a true Rockstar emerged.
But this doesn't do justice to everyone we considered.
So take a look at our final shortlist of all Real Estate Rockstar nominees.
The category is "emerging tech"...
Rockstar Criteria
- Usability - Is the site / app / technology mobile friendly, easy to read, navigate and understand? Can users find what they want easily?
- Traction - Has there been growth and adoption by the real estate community?
- Potential - Is there potential impact on the real estate community?

- Usability 9/10
- Traction 4/10
- Potential 9/10
Score: 22/30
Matterport
Web: realestate.matterport.com
Matterport cameras and software are leading the wave of 3D technology in real estate. Agents can use Matterport technology to create HD interactive tours of their homes (think Google Earth but for residential and commercial interiors). Matterport has had great traction in major metropolitan areas, particularly with luxury agents. The high price point might deter some agents who may have otherwise benefited from creating their tours, but we think it is worth it none the less!
- Usability 8.5/10
- Traction 5/10
- Potential 9/10
Score: 22.5/30
Notion - Winner!

Notion aims to revolutionize the home monitoring industry, making it cheaper and more effective than ever before. Notion sensors have a range of 175 - 300 feet, depending on clear lines of sight, providing complete monitoring of an entire home. No matter your location, the Notion app connects to your home, offering instant notification from the kitchen, bathroom, garage, storage room and more.
- Usability 9/10
