January 10, 2024

(Shrewsbury, MA, January 2024) MLS Property Information Network, Inc. (MLS PIN) CEO Erminio Grasso has been recognized as one of the nation’s most powerful leaders in real estate by his inclusion in the annual Swanepoel Power 200 (SP200) list.


This is Erm’s first appearance on the list. Erm is one of just 200 leaders recognized this year for their accomplishments and significance in the residential real estate brokerage industry. Criteria for inclusion in the Swanepoel Power 200 include the decision- making power of the individual’s position and the size, financial resources, and overall significance of the organization in the residential real estate brokerage industry. Other criteria include large initiatives the individual led or was a major contributor to, leadership activities, and more.


Erm joined MLS PIN in 2022 as CEO, replacing long-serving CEO Kathy Condon, who retired that year. He brought to MLS PIN an experienced broker’s perspective, having worked for 18 years at Coldwell Banker Realty, most recently as Regional Vice President of the Boston Region, managing 15 offices and over 1,500 sales associates. A lifetime New Englander, Erm graduated from Merrimack College in North Andover with a Bachelor of Science degree.


“We’re incredibly proud and moved to have our new CEO included on this prestigious list,” said MLS PIN Chief Strategy and Partnership Officer Melissa Lindberg. “Erm’s leadership and management style have steered our company well through some industry challenges over the past few years and have proved beneficial to our customers and the residential real estate brokerage industry at large.”

When it comes to parking, getting the full picture matters. Pinergy’s Full Report, Public Report, Public Report-Brief, and Thumbnail Report have been updated to display garage spaces and total parking spaces . In the past, these reports showed garage spaces and other parking spaces separately. This change brings classic listing views in line with other areas of Pinergy, making parking information more consistent and easier to understand. A small change that makes parking data a little easier to read and a lot easier to compare.

Buyers value floor plans when viewing properties online — but how do you add one to your listing in Pinergy? First, you need to create the floor plan. This can be done in a number of ways, including using CubiCasa to generate quick, free floor plans . Once you have a floor plan, you can use Pinergy’s Photo Manager to upload it as a listing photo (and label it "Floor Plan"), provided it’s in a supported image format (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, or BMP). You can upload it as an attached “Floor Plan” document if it’s in a Word, Excel, PDF, or TIF file. CubiCasa’s free floor plans are available as JPG, PNG, and PDF files for these two options. If your floor plan meets the required criteria, you may also attach it as a virtual tour. One example is the interactive CubiCasa Tour, available at a discount for MLS PIN customers.  Give buyers the information they’re looking for and enhance your listings with one or more floor plans using CubiCasa.
