OAKLAND, CA, December 14, 2006—Today iHOUSE Web Solutions™, a division of CIS Data Systems, Inc., announced the approval of iHOUSE ConnecTel, a toll-free property hotline service for the RE/MAX International Approved Supplier Program. In addition, RE/MAX has approved iHOUSE's LocalNet Web Registration Service as an advanced feature of the iHOUSE Website Program, which has been an Approved Supplier since 2005.
"The RE/MAX Approved Supplier Program is comprised of the most elite group of vendors in the industry," says, Sarah Blankman, Account Executive, Supplier Programs at RE/MAX International. "We looked at a number of both toll-free hotline and online directory listing services and selected a very small percentage of the applicants. ConnecTel was chosen because our affiliates recommended iHOUSE products and services. We found them to be unparalleled in ease of use, practical pricing, and quality of service. iHOUSE has also been a pioneer in providing many other forms of real estate marketing solutions, and we are proud to offer their services to our Affiliates."
ConnecTel offers real estate agents the ability to give prospective buyers 24/7 access to listing details over the phone via a pre-recorded toll-free hotline while simultaneously capturing each caller's contact information. It also allows real estate agents to be instantly notified when a call is made. ConnecTel is currently being offered at a competitive price point compared to other, similar services. More information about ConnecTel can be found online at www.ihouseconnectel.com.
Offered exclusively to iHOUSE Website customers, LocalNet Web Registration Service ensures that real estate agents' business information is accurate and available on popular Internet websites and directories. LocalNet collects agents' business information during the sign-up process, and automatically submits it to 18 major web business directories and Local Search engines, including Google Local, Yahoo! Local, Realtor.com, Verizon SuperPages.com, Yellowpages.com, and more. Then, LocalNet uses the information to create a search engine-friendly Agent Profile that is hosted on the LocalNet Agent Directory.
