Terabitz and FrontDoor.com Ink Technology and Content Deal

RISMEDIA, August 1, 2008-Terabitz, a technology company that helps real estate brokerages engage online home buyers and sellers with innovative technologies, today announced that it has entered into a technology and content agreement with FrontDoor.com, the real estate site powered by HGTV. According to the company, FrontDoor.com features over three million real estate listings, video features from HGTV experts and a comprehensive suite of tools, guides and content.

The deal with FrontDoor.com centers on two Terabitz components: a beta version of the company’s iPhone home search application and Neighborhood Explorer, which delivers rich local data in an elegant map interface. Frontdoor’s new iPhone application, which can be accessed at m.frontdoor.com, enables users to search for homes based on several criteria. The Terabitz Neighborhood Explorer allows FrontDoor’s iphone users to view a wide array services and amenities around any given home listing. Schools, places of worship, restaurants, banks, ATM machines, coffee houses, grocery stores and much more can be displayed with one click.

“FrontDoor delivers an experience that is richer and more compelling than that found on any other site in the real estate category, and we’re proud to be part of it,” said Terabitz CEO Ashfaq Munshi. “We believe online real estate is much more than just home search – it’s about finding a place to live, and FrontDoor gets that.”

“FrontDoor exists to give people deep home-related content when and how they want it, and the Terabitz Neighborhood Explorer and iPhone application fit the bill,” said Vikki Neil, vice president of real estate for Scripps Networks, FrontDoor.com’s parent company. “Our users with iPhones can now take the FrontDoor experience with them wherever they go, and every listing on the site is now placed in a context of comprehensive neighborhood information.”

Terabitz, says the company, has quickly emerged as one of the leading real estate technology providers since its launch last year. The company’s technology has been adopted by leading real estate brokerages around the country, including Intero Real Estate Services (CA), Metro Brokers (CO), Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty (AZ), Century 21 Bowman (TX), Real Estate One (MI), Century 21 Abrams, Hutchinson and Associates (NJ) Tomlinson Real Estate (ID), RE/MAX Commonwealth (NC) and Century 21 Money World (NV).

“This relationship means our content and tools and will reach millions of new users, and that’s a great thing for Terabitz,” said Munshi. “But the real winners here are the consumers seeking places to live and the real estate agents and brokers who have partnered with FrontDoor to make those aspirations a reality.”
