Online Transaction Management

RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts is proud to announce the addition of Relay an online transaction management tool that allows Realtors to provide a smoother faster real estate experience for themselves and their clients. Relay is an easy-to-use personal real estate website that conveniently connects buyers, sellers and Realtors to the property sale.

Convenience, Confidence and Complete Service is what Relay is about.

RELAY^TM enables agents to thoroughly track documents, activity checklists, communications and contacts through a branded Web site that clients can access 24/7. The Web-based software also offers an enhanced online listings capability, enabling users to publish property information on a branded RELAY^TM Web page which can be shared with potential clients. RELAY^TM also allows users to invite guest agent access and cross-brokerage transaction access. Guest agent and cross-brokerage access enable both sides of the real estate sale to work together in one transaction file, making communication smoother for both real estate teams and clients.

Real Estate Business Technologies LLC (REBT) in partnership with the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORSŽ (NAR), has developed RELAY^TM, REBT, a subsidiary of Real Estate Business Services Inc., provides technological solutions to real estate professionals that enhance the value of services delivered to clients while improving productivity and efficiency.

"I do not know how we did business without Relay. My clients love it ! I have all the information on the listing or sale 24 hours a day. This has given me more time to spend building my business. I love how easy it is to use." Said Maria Balac, RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts Broker.

Before Relay we had to keep a paper file for each transaction. Having 24/7 online access to our files and all of our documents has made working with our clients so much easier" Said Nigel Chapman, RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts Managing Partner.

RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts continues to add tools and services to help their Realtors succeed in todays ever changing market place. These tools include the Agent Resource Center at http://www.realestateconcepts.net/, web based email, calendar, documents and direct fax to email accounts.
