I’m off-site this week without my “Murder Board“. So sans my red string and push pins I’m still putting the pieces together. But here’s what I’m finding out.
In October 2020 a software company filed for an LLC under the name of Hana Software.
The directors of the LLC were Si Hyung Park (male), John Park, and Matthew Wissinger.
Si Hyung Park is a technologist and worked for many tech and consulting companies (https://www.linkedin.com/in/si-hyung-p-b03834/)
John Park is an owner of MetroBrokers Elite (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-park-1b7b777/_). I don’t know if they are related. Couldn’t find any information on Matthew Wissinger.
In June 2023 they amended the LLC and Matthew Wissinger was dropped and Joesph E Burks was added. According the LinkedIn Joseph Burks is the President of Equity Title of Colorado (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-e-burks-a7533a23/)
In January of 2024 a name change was filed. Hana Software is now RE-Sure (https://resure.realestate). According to LinkedIn Si Hyung Park is listed as the CEO of RE-Sure. That same month Joesph Burks also registered MAZL, LLC. Which is the entity that is listed that acquired REColorado MLS. Also some of these companies are listed at the same street address.
I had heard from a source that RE-Sure was making the round earlier this year (maybe last year) trying to get their forms solution adopted. As you may know the Colorado forms software market is pretty much locked up with CTMe (https://www.ctmecontracts.com/eContracts/wp/indexbottom.asp)
One of the MLS orgs RE-Sure was pitching to described them as “very full of themselves”.
Somewhat telling is the RE-Sure website lists SMDRA (one of the REcolorado shareholders), Equity Title, MetroBrokers Elite and Colorado Professional Title as “Our Client & Partners”.
Obviously these guys ( or maybe just Joesph Burks) had a relationship with South Metro Denver REALTORS association (SMDRA) for some time.
Not sure what all of this points too. I guess at the surface level maybe these guys think they can move the needle on the adoption of their forms solution by buying an MLS? But I doubt there’s enough revenue in forms software to justify this acquisition cost.
