SANTA ANA, Calif., Mar. 18, 2009 – MarketLinx, Inc., a leading provider of information technology to the residential real estate industry and a member of The First American Corporation (NYSE: FAF) family of companies, today announced that the Greater Utica-Rome Board of REALTORS® (GURBR) has selected MarketLinx’s popular InnoVia system to power its multiple listing service (MLS).
The New York REALTOR® organization cited InnoVia’s well-known ease of use and extensive functionality as top reasons for choosing the system.
“The very first webinar convinced our Board that this was the product we needed and wanted,” said Carol Longo, Executive Officer for GURBR. “Positive reviews from long-time InnoVia users confirmed that we were making the right decision.”
“My evaluation of the system focused on the back office reporting functions,” said Janiece Kelly, MLS Coordinator for GURBR. “After the initial demonstration, I too was convinced that InnoVia had everything we needed from a Board staff perspective—and more.”
The InnoVia MLS system, which now has more than 60 customers across the country, is acclaimed by real estate professionals for its ease of use, wireless access, matching online and offline interfaces, and compatibility with a wide range of platforms, Web browsers and third-party products.
“InnoVia covers all the bases and has stayed at the forefront of key technologies like RETS,” added Longo. “We were also impressed by MarketLinx’s extensive knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure our members’ satisfaction with the new system. Life is so much easier when you work with true professionals like the folks at MarketLinx.”
