SANTA ANA, Calif., May 4, 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 Las Vegas Association of REALTORS® (GLVAR) has deployed MarketLinx’s leading Document Manager system to its 13,000 members.
Fully integrated with GLVAR’s MLS system, Document Manager conveniently provides comprehensive document management capabilities from within MLXchange. The application manages all types of documents at every stage of the real estate life cycle, making it easy to share documents with a specific person or transaction side, custom groups or the entire membership.
“Document Manager provides tremendous value to our REALTOR® members,” said Irene Vogel, chief executive officer for GLVAR. “Users can easily upload and manage all of their listing and transaction-related documents without ever leaving the MLS system. We’re very excited about the increased efficiency and cost savings that Document Manager makes possible.”
Launched to the MLS market in 2008, Document Manager serves more than 200,000 real estate professionals nationwide and has established itself as a leading solution among brokerages seeking a green alternative to traditional paper-based filing systems.
“My company was an early adopter of MarketLinx’s document management technology,” said Joan Kuptz, owner of RE/MAX Advantage and member of the GLVAR Technology Task Force. “I’ve seen firsthand everything the system can do to streamline operations and have promoted it to every broker I know. Now that Document Manager is available to the general membership, all of GLVAR will be able to benefit from the improved efficiency and collaboration capabilities—especially on co-broker transactions.”
“Our success with Document Manager demonstrates a strong demand for solutions that help manage the growing volume of listing and transaction data,” said Bryan Foreman, President of MarketLinx MLS Solutions. “REALTORS® count on us to provide the technology they need to stay competitive. We are constantly pushing forward with new technologies like Document Manager to make the process of buying and selling real estate faster, easier and less expensive.”
Also compatible with InnoVia, TEMPO and third-party MLS systems, Document Manager will be on display at the 2009 REALTORS® Midyear Trade Expo, May 13-15. Visit booth #316 for a demonstration or go to www.marketlinx.com for more information.
