(Los Angeles, CA - February 28, 2006) - The Merced County Association of REALTORS® today announced it will make RELAY® online transaction management available to its members as a free benefit of membership in the association.
RELAY®, an easy-to-use Internet tool for real estate professionals, recently released RELAY® Version 2.0. The latest version of the software includes integrated activity management, allowing agents and brokers to t rack and manage all activities related to a transaction; export activities directly into Outlook Calendar; and receive automatic, color-coded notifications when tasks need attention.
"We commend the Merced County Association of REALTORS® for the leadership it has shown in making RELAY® available to its members," said C.A.R. President Vince Malta. "Merced County REALTORS® now will have access to a cutting-edge transaction tool that will allow them to better serve their clients."
"RELAY® will enable our REALTOR® members to easily manage documents, communications and contacts through a custom-branded Web site that they can access 24/7," said Merced County Association of REALTORS® President Raymond P. Rodriguez. "With RELAY®, REALTORS® can create activity checklists to improve efficiency, mitigate risk of errors and omissions, and increase overall customer satisfaction.
"We're pleased to offer the industry's premier transaction management software to Merced County REALTORS® as a benefit of their membership in our association," he said.
RELAY® also 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.
RELAY® was recently declared compliant with current security standards following an application security review performed by Cybertrust Inc., a global information security services specialist. Based on compliance in three categories—operating system and platform, connectivity and networking, and application development—RELAY® is "at a low risk of security incident," according to Cybertrust's findings. RELAY® also was recently awarded the REALTOR® Secure designation by the National Association of REALTORS®' Center for REALTOR® Technology (CRT). The designation covers the entire REBT organization, including the RELAY® application, certifying that best practices are in place to protect real estate information and systems from risk.
