GlobeSt.com: Why is the information the Homefactsapp provides important to homeowners andhomebuyers?

Moyle: We're in an age of more datatransparency, not less. Our job is to provide as much data aspossible, and this is based on our user feedback on our website andon which data they click. If people respond to the data, it keepsmoving up the list; if they don't, it moves down the list. The moredata they can access, the more homebuyers will feel confident intheir transactions.
