 Print Article

RISMEDIA, Feb. 15, 2007-RELAY^TM, an Internet tool for real estate professionals to manage transactions and collaborate with clients and affiliates through a custom Web site, announced the release of RELAY^TM Version 4.0, a new, streamlined version of the popular software featuring dozens of improvements for agents, brokers, clients, and transaction coordinators.

RELAY Version 4.0 enables real estate professionals to save time by importing, tracking, and managing contacts across transactions. The latest version of the software also incorporates direct service provider access, allowing users to invite escrow, title, attorneys, and other service providers to participate directly in RELAY online real estate transactions. Version 4.0 users who are NAR members also can distinguish themselves with a RELAY badge in the "Find a REALTOR" section of www.Realtor.com and www.Realtor.org, attracting new clients and highlighting their services as a RELAY^TM agent. Users now can import and update transactions from ZipForm® or WINForms Online® directly from RELAY Version 4.0, adding to the already popular sync with RELAY features.

RELAY already enables agents to thoroughly track documents, activity checklists, communications and contacts through a branded Web site that clients can access 24/7. The Web-based software also offers an enhanced online listings capability, enabling users to publish property information on a branded RELAY Web page which can be shared with potential clients. RELAY also allows users to invite guest agent access and cross-brokerage transaction access. Guest agent and cross-brokerage access enable both sides of the real estate sale to work together in one transaction file, making communication smoother for both real estate teams and clients.

Hailed by industry leaders as a mission critical enhancement to the services provided by REALTORS to home buyers and sellers, RELAY has maintained a rapid schedule of advancements in quality features development since its launch in 2005.

RELAY features one-click integration with ZipForm Online® and WINForms Online®, the electronic forms software used by nearly 400,000 REALTORS nationwide. With one-click integration, users can easily sync transaction data and completed electronic forms with a RELAY transaction Web site.

RELAY has been declared compliant with security standards set by Cybertrust Inc., a global information security specialist, and was awarded the Realtor Secure designation by the National Association of Realtors Center for Realtor Technology (CRT), certifying that best practices are in place to protect client data and systems from risk.
