BIRDVIEW Technologies Releases I-Mail™ 2.0
Software provider for Real Estate Industry to bundle email solution for brokers and agents
Glen Ellyn, IL- May 3, 2004 - BIRDVIEW Technologies has released an upgrade to its I-Mail™ product. The upgrade includes pop mail, a 4 Megabyte maximum message size, 20 Megabytes of storage and a choice of four web mail applications. I-Mail™ is included with BIRDVIEW’s OfficeSite™, AgentSite™ and AgentPage™ products. For brokerages with 50 or more agents utilizing BIRDVIEW’s OfficeSite™ Enterprise solution I-Mail™ is included for all brokerage personnel.
BIRDVIEW Technologies’ Executive VP, Michael Kehoe noted, “Providing a company branded email address allows a brokerage to promote brand consistency, as well as simplifying brokerage wide email communication.” Kehoe added, “we’ve observed that brokers are in a race to offer more and more value to their agents and prospective agents. Upgrading our email offering is a way for BIRDVIEW to provide our brokerage clients with a low cost/high value tool that their agents will appreciate”.
According to “The REALTORS® & Technology: 2004 Technology Impact Survey Report” issued by the National Association of REALTORS®, 96 % of all realtors use email. But only one in four use a company provided email address. Chuck Dinolfo, the President and CEO of CENTURY 21 Pro-Team headquartered in Oak Lawn, Illinois says, “I believe providing my agents with a CENTURY21 Pro-Team email account is good business. It’s valuable to the agent, promotes our brokerage and creates a more uniform and professional image than having our agents use an assortment of AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail and untold numbers of other email addresses. It is also much easier for the consumer to identify.”
Established in 1996, BIRDVIEW Technologies provides software and builds websites for more than 750 real estate offices nationwide, comprising over 20,000 agents. BIRDVIEW provides listing data to brokerages from over 90 separate MLSes.
