FRASER, Mich., April 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- zipLogix, creator of relay®, the online transaction management tool for real estate professionals, today announced that the Capital Region Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS) located in a six-county area surrounding Albany, NY, has joined the growing list of organizations that have chosen to provide relay® as a membership benefit. This solution will provide their 3,100 members with valuable time, paperwork and cost-saving benefits.
CRMLS members currently receive zipForm®, the real estate industry's leading forms software, as a member benefit and have elected to expand their relationship with zipLogix. By offering relay®, CRMLS is reaffirming its commitment to help its members utilize the best tools available for streamlining and growing their businesses. relay® will allow their REALTORS® to track and manage all transaction documents from listing to closing. This includes transaction contracts, documents and listing and sales information, as well as all communications generated throughout a transaction. Buyers and sellers are able to monitor the progress of their transaction online by logging into a secure transaction website from anywhere, 24/7.
"Transaction management -- the ability of a real estate professional to use the power of current technology to maximize the real estate experience for buyers, sellers and all those involved in a transaction -- is something that CRMLS wanted to make available to its membership. We know our members and their clients and customers will experience a more efficient, smoother transaction as a result of this new member benefit," says James Ader, CRMLS's administrator. "CRMLS is excited as are our members."
By using zipForm® and relay® solutions by zipLogix, an MLS enables members to improve their bottom line. These "green" technologies save them money on expensive consumables and telecommunications expenses, increase productivity and eliminate the need for additional file storage space. "Going green" and using paperless solutions shows today's environmentally conscious consumers that your business cares enough about the environment and the community to select technologies that save resources.
MLSs and associations are discovering the benefits of enhancing member benefits by providing zipForm® and relay® through packages tailored to fit their needs.
