Barber recognized among industry leaders whose influence is shaping the future of real estate
IRVINE, Calif. – Feb. 17, 2025 – ATTOM, the leading provider of property data, AI-powered analytics, and real estate intelligence solutions, is pleased to announce that Rob Barber, CEO, has once again been named a recipient of the annual Inman Power Players award. This recognition honors the executives and founders whose decisions and innovations are defining the next chapter of residential real estate.
The 2026 Inman Power Players includes notable individuals from the residential real estate, mortgage, finance, and proptech ecosystems, each wielding significant influence over industry direction and innovation.
“This recognition is a meaningful honor and underscores the strength of the ATTOM team and our shared commitment to evolving how property data is accessed and used across the industry.”,” said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM. “As our data and AI-powered analytics platform continues to scale, we are entering a new era where faster, more flexible access to trusted property intelligence is essential. Our mission is to empower customers with the insights they need to make smarter decisions, drive growth, and innovate with confidence as markets and technologies continue to evolve.”
Under Barber’s leadership, ATTOM has continued to strengthen its long-term competitive moat by executing a clear, technology-driven strategy that expands both the reach and value of its trusted property data. Barber oversees enterprise, data and product strategy alongside customer acquisition & service, and corporate operations, helping position ATTOM for sustained growth as real estate analytics evolve in the age of AI. In 2025, this vision translated into a company-wide modernization of data delivery, including the launch of ATTOM’s comprehensive property datasets on Snowflake. This integration allows customers to work with trusted ATTOM data directly within their existing cloud environments, speeding analysis and decision-making. Additional innovations, including Parquet and GeoParquet delivery and the introduction of ATTOM Nexus, a self-service platform for evaluating and integrating data, expanded access options and supported a more diversified mix of customer use cases.
That momentum continued into 2026 as Barber advanced initiatives designed to support long-term growth and AI-driven innovation. ATTOM launched the ATTOM MCP Server, an AI-native access and integration layer that securely connects AI applications to ATTOM property data. The company also introduced Databricks delivery, enabling customers to easily share and work with ATTOM data across modern analytics platforms. In addition, the company acquired key assets of ResiShares, including its analytics platform and proprietary technology, which ATTOM will evolve into enterprise-grade analytics products delivering deeper insights to a broad range of industries. Together, these actions reinforce ATTOM’s position as a trusted, comprehensive source of real estate intelligence, supported by diversified delivery models, continuous product innovation, and leadership with more than three decades of experience in the real estate information services industry.
“These Power Players represent the visionaries and changemakers who are defining what’s next for real estate,” said Emily Paquette, CEO of Inman. “Their leadership and innovation set the standard for excellence in our industry.”
