History

In 1995 Moore Data Systems created the website Cyberhomes.com. Cyberhomes was the original nation-wide real estate listing site. The site was setup with the goal of connecting homebuyers and sellers with real estate professionals.

In 1999 VistaInfo became interested in acquiring Moore's real estate businesses, including Cyberhomes.com. By December 1999, VistaInfo completed the purchase. At the time that move made VistaInfo the largest supplier of MLS information management systems in the country—serving over 100 MLS organizations and 350,000 real estate professionals.

In 2001 Fidelity National Financial and VistaInfo completed a merger forming a new company called Fidelity National Information Solutions (FNIS). Shortly after the merger in 2002, FNIS pulled the plug on Cyberhomes, but the URL was retained.

In 2006 an entirely new product was born and took on the name Cyberhomes. It launched with access to Fidelity National Financials leading property information database and automated valuation tools.
