MarketLinx Recognized as a Top Ten Technology Trendsetter

Leading New Trends Report Features MarketLinx’s One Stop Real Estate Business Platform, AgentAchieve™

SANTA ANA, Calif., March 21, 2007 – MarketLinx, Inc., a leading provider of information technology to the residential real estate industry, today announced that it has been recognized by the 2007 Swanepoel Trends Report as one of the real estate industry’s top ten trendsetters for its Webbased AgentAchieve™ platform.

For years, real estate professionals gathered critical data from multiple sources, which often involved rekeying information into various software applications and systems, many with different signon procedures, user identifications and passwords. AgentAchieve is a onestop operating system upon which a real estate business can be built through a platform that provides a complete, turnkey operating system that is adaptable to individual broker business models. In addition, practices and policies can be configured within the system to meet functional and budgetary requirements, and a customized delivery model facilitates technology sharing between brokers and agents.

“There have been many attempts to pull together all of the important data and technology components required in a residential property transaction, but the results were generally less than satisfying,” said Stephen C. Roney, president and chief executive officer of MarketLinx. “In the end, something was always missing in the solution because it could not, or would not, be integrated into the process. In AgentAchieve, the industry has a product that meets the needs of the real estate professional.”

The 2007 Swanepoel Trends Report is a comprehensive report that examines trends impacting the real estate industry. Copies of the 2007 Swanepoel Trends Report are available at www.ReTrends.com.
