LOS ANGELES (Nov. 7) – RELAY®, the online transaction management tool for real estate professionals, today announced that users will receive a 50 percent reduction in the deductible amount on the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) endorsed errors and omission (E&O) insurance program underwritten by AIG and brokered by Linsin, Sherman Associates.
“REALTORS® and brokers using RELAY® online transaction management already reduce their risk through its automatic history and notes functionalities, and through an enhanced ability to track transaction progress and completion,” said Bob Kulick, Real Estate Business Technologies LLC chairman of the board. “Now, if an errors and omission claim is filed involving a transaction where RELAY® was utilized, REALTORS® under the E&O program endorsed by C.A.R., insured by AIG and brokered by Linsin, Sherman Associates can save 50 percent off the deductible.”
RELAY® features one-click integration with ZipForm® and WINForms Online®, the electronic forms software used by nearly 400,000 REALTORS® nationwide. The one-click integration feature allows users to move both the transaction data and the completed form – purchase agreements and disclosure documents for example – to the RELAY® transaction management system. As a Web-based transaction management system, there is no hardware to purchase or software to install in order to use RELAY®. All that is required is Internet access; agents or their clients can view their secure online transaction anytime, anywhere.
