Myers partners with iHomefinder to provide IDX/MLS search

Solution enables agents to increase web site lead capture rates

ORLANDO, Florida, Nov 5, 2004 – Myers Internet, Inc., a leading provider of technology and marketing solutions to the real estate industry, announced today at the 2004 National Association of Realtors convention, that it has partnered with iHomefinder to provide Premium IDX/MLS search capability on their web sites.

"We provide agents with several listing options," said Warren Myer, CEO of Myers Internet, Inc. "If agents wish to post their own listings they can use our listings manager tool. If their board provides IDX, agents may frame this within their web site. As a result of our partnership with iHomefinder, Myers now also offers a premium lead capturing IDX solution that offers MLS search, daily email updates and property organizers to web site visitors."

"Premium IDX enables real estate agents to increase lead capture rates on their web sites. Web site visitors can browse listings anonymously, but need to register to get daily email updates or to use the property organizer tool. Once registered, the visitors begin receiving personalized services branded with the agents’ logos and trademarks. The daily update tools allow consumers to specify the type of properties they are looking for and to be notified automatically as they become available. Consumers are also provided with property details, maps, school information, and an online form to request a showing."

"Myers is the largest web hosting provider in the mortgage industry," continued Myer, "and this new offering will greatly strengthen our position in the real estate agent market place. Our web sites include award-winning lead capture tools that maximize income potential. Agent sites include over 75 pages of content, mortgage calculators, mortgage rates and school information. We are also especially pleased to announce a product partnership with the Council of Real Estate Brokerage Managers (CRB) that will make our web sites available to their 7,000 members at a discount."

"We are excited to offer our IDX solutions to Myers web hosting clients" said Brett DeSchepper, iHomefinder’s President. "iHomefinder’s solutions enhance the ability of Myers’ web sites to provide powerful business services by capturing leads through many features that are not available with the MLS boards’ generic solutions. iHomefinder’s real estate clients across the country have been successfully using iHomefinder’s programs for more than 10 years to build consumer loyalty with reliable, accurate and personalized listing notification and data services."
