RELAY® transaction management added as free member benefit by Victor Valley Association of REALTORS®

LOS ANGELES (April 12) – The Victor Valley Association of REALTORS® will make RELAY® online transaction management available free to its more than 1,500 members as a benefit of membership through a two-year commitment with Real Estate Business Technologies LLC, the association announced today.

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 track and manage all activities related to a transaction; export activities directly into Outlook Calendar; and receive automatic, color-coded notifications when tasks need attention.

 “The Victor Valley Association of REALTORS® has a history of delivering exceptional products and services that enhance the productivity and competitive edge of our members. RELAY® is such a product,” said Charles Knapp, president of the Victor Valley Association of REALTORS®. 

“Although there are other transaction-management tools available in the marketplace, only RELAY® and its ability to seamlessly interface with WINForms Online® offered a fully integrated solution in which clients, escrow professionals and lenders can participate,” he said.

“With RELAY®, REALTORS® can create activity checklists to improve efficiency, mitigate risk of errors and omissions, and increase overall customer satisfaction,” said C.A.R. President Vince Malta. “The leadership of the Victor Valley Association of REALTORS® is to be commended for making RELAY® available to its members, and for providing a cutting-edge transaction tool that will allow Victor Valley REALTORS® to better serve their clients.”

The Victor Valley Association of REALTORS® also is providing RELAY® transaction management to its more than 2,000 MLS-only subscribers.

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.
