NextHome inks agreement to align with Zillow’s listing access standards

SEATTLE, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NextHome is the most recent company to join Zillow in its pro-consumer commitment to listing transparency and committing to ensure the largest possible audience of buyers can see its listings. Zillow this week introduced new standards for listing access, which are designed to ensure both consumers and agents have equitable, timely access to real estate information — supporting and protecting a more open and competitive housing market.

“Partnering with Zillow to commit to listing transparency is simply the right thing to do for homebuyers and sellers across America. Prioritizing humans over houses is a core value at NextHome because it builds trust and fosters a more informed and confident client base which we believe puts our agents in a position to win,” said James Dwiggins, co-CEO of NextHome. “Through this partnership we are setting a new standard in the industry.”

Zillow’s listing standards outline how it is implementing the National Association of Realtors Clear Cooperation policy on its platform.  Namely, a listing publicly marketed to any buyer must be in the MLS within one day and published on Zillow as well as other sites that receive MLS feeds. Listings that don’t meet these standards won’t be published on Zillow or Trulia for the life of the listing.

“NextHome has long been a champion of listing transparency and we’re pleased they’re committing to keeping the industry focused on the future alongside Zillow. It’s simple: a listing publicly marketed to any buyer should be marketed to all buyers. Hidden listings harm buyers, sellers and agents by creating an unfair market,” said Errol Samuelson, chief industry development officer at Zillow. “Promoting equal and fair access to all available listings is the right thing to do for sellers, buyers, agents – and the industry at large. Zillow is dedicated to putting consumers first and ensuring a fair and open marketplace for all. Those who deliver for consumers will succeed, not the companies putting their own interests ahead of the needs of home buyers and sellers.”

NextHome has 600 offices and 6,000 agents nationwide and has been named to the Inc 5000 and Entrepreneur 500 franchise lists. NextHome joins eXp in a growing group of real estate industry partners calling for transparent practices prioritizing access for all consumers and agents.

Duni Group Launches Assured Carbon Footprint Calculator to Support Climate Action

Published

By

MALMÖ, Sweden, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Duni Group’s new assured Carbon Footprint Calculator provides consistent and data-driven carbon footprint insights for the company’s own-produced napkins and table covers. This tool makes it easier for customers to make informed, more sustainable choices and reduce their climate impact. An example of how companies can use their work with science-based targets to create value for customers.

As demand for product-level CO₂ data continues to grow, transparency and consistency are becoming increasingly important for both customers and companies.

“The Carbon Footprint Calculator makes climate impact information easier to access and communicate – enabling transparent reporting. By providing reliable data, our customers can make informed decisions and communicate them credibly,” says Kairit Kuusik, Climate Specialist at Duni Group.

The Carbon Footprint Calculator also supports customer dialogue by enabling comparisons between Duni Group’s own-produced napkins and relevant industry-average reference data for virgin tissue in Europe. 

Third Party Assurance Strengthens Credibility

The model that the tool is based on is independently assured by the Carbon Trust in accordance with ISO 14067:2018. This third-party assurance strengthens the credibility of how product carbon footprints are calculated and communicated. The underlying data is sourced from Duni Group’s climate reporting.

In addition to its customer benefits, the tool supports Duni Group’s ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions by strengthening internal decision-making. 

“This tool enables us to quantify the performance of both our suppliers and our own production, while highlighting where improvements can be made. This value chain perspective reflects how science-based targets are intended to work. As customers now can use the same approach, we see this as a sustainable business advantage, supporting long-term value creation,” says Kairit Kuusik.

Duni Group has previously launched a similar calculator for its food packaging assortment.
