North America: Zillow launches paid rent-reporting tool for credit building

Zillow has launched CreditClimb, a subscription-based service that reports on-time rent payments to credit bureaus, marking a national expansion of its rent-reporting offerings. The tool is powered by Esusu and priced at $20 per year.

Renters can enrol directly through Zillow to report monthly rent payments to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The service includes optional back-reporting of up to two years of rent history and access to credit score tracking.

According to Zillow, 87% of renters do not currently have rent payments reflected in their credit reports. The company cited Esusu data indicating users of similar rent-reporting tools have seen average credit score increases of 45 points. Esusu claims these users have collectively gained access to over $30 billion in mortgage credit.

Michael Sherman, senior vice president of Zillow Rentals, said:

"Renters have more options when they have paths to establish and strengthen their credit. That can mean qualifying for better financing, securing their next rental or moving confidently toward homeownership. With CreditClimb, renters can use the rental payments they already make to build credit and strengthen their financial future."

Asia: Bayut launches 3D visualisation tool for properties

Dubizzle Group has launched a 3D visualisation tool for its real estate vertical platform, Bayut.

Bayut Studios is a specialised 3D production and PropTech studio dedicated to the real estate sector. It can create 360-degree images, 3D floor plans, social media posts, location videos, construction project updates, and branded marketing assets.

Commenting on the launch, Haider Ali Khan, CEO at Bayut, said:

"Launching Bayut Studios is a natural extension of our commitment to innovation in real estate marketing. Our mission is to combine creativity with technology, delivering visual experiences that help developers, brokers and investors tell compelling stories about their properties. This launch allows us to bring that expertise directly to the market, enabling smarter decision-making and stronger engagement at every stage of the buyer journey."

United Kingdom: Rightmove lets users shortlist and share agencies

Rightmove will launch a new tool that lets home movers share property lists with collaborators like friends and family.

Users will be able to collaborate on shortlists of agents' properties within the My Rightmove platform, letting others 'react' to each other's suggestions to find the perfect home.

Tarah Lourens, chief technology and operations officer at Rightmove, said:

“It’s really exciting to bring Rightmove users this much-requested feature so people can seamlessly see shared property lists in one place. With the majority of home-movers looking to live with at least one other person, our new tool is designed to make the process of searching for a home more collaborative and interactive, and make sure home-movers are on the same page before they get in touch with agents."

OneDome adds award-winning mortgage and insurance network with acquisition

OneDome has acquired Mortgage Intelligence Limited, Life and Easy Limited, and Mortgage Next Network Limited from Connells Group, expanding its mortgage distribution capabilities and broker footprint.

The acquisition increases OneDome’s annual mortgage origination to over £10 billion and adds more than 550 brokers to its national network. The company now ranks among the UK’s largest mortgage intermediary platforms by volume.

Babek Ismayil, Founder and CEO of OneDome, said:

“This acquisition is strategically important for us. Recently, we announced a £7.5 million TV campaign to promote our HomeBuyer Service nationwide. We will need hundreds of brokers to service the demand generated by this campaign. This acquisition gives us the scale and foundation for that growth. We initially planned to reach 500 brokers by the end of 2026, but with this acquisition, we have revised our target to 750+ brokers.”

Founded in 1996, Mortgage Intelligence—along with its subsidiaries—operates as a network for mortgage and insurance intermediaries, with a focus on compliance, broker support, and customer service.

The deal follows the launch of OneDome Growth Partners, a new network initiative aimed at supporting brokers with technology, lead generation, and operational tools. Network members receive access to OneDome’s DealRoom platform, qualified leads, and exclusive rights to offer the company’s HomeBuyer Service, a bundled fixed-price product combining mortgage brokerage, conveyancing, and administrative support.
