PeakSoft Announces RealtyTracer
BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON--Breakthrough Web-based information
management application offers real-estate professionals an
affordable, powerful and easy-to-use tool for quickly and easily
organizing and communicating Web-based real-estate information
with clients
PeakSoft Corporation today announced the availability of a
pre-release version of an Internet information management
application for real-estate professionals, code-named
RealtyTracer. The application can be downloaded for evaluation
purposes at realtytracer.peak.com.
RealtyTracer is the next installment in the PeakTrack series of
vertical market Internet information management applications for
small to medium-sized businesses. The PeakTrack series is based
on the NetMagnet core technology (an overview is located at
peak.com. Current PeakTrack applications
include Small Business, Law and Realty.
Using RealtyTracer, real-estate professionals can quickly and
easily find, intelligently organize and clearly present
information extracted from all Web-accessible sources to provide
the level of value-added service today's increasingly
sophisticated home buyers and sellers demand.
"Standard Internet browsing tools lack powerful organization and
presentation features that are essential for today's realtors that
strive to be competitive in an increasingly 'wired' market," said
Chris Kent, RealtyTracer product manager. "RealtyTracer enables
real-estate professionals to quickly and efficiently utilize
Web-based resources, including multiple-listing data, internal
agency information and specially, pre-loaded real estate-specific
Web sites."
RealtyTracer enables realtors to save valuable research,
preparation and presentation time and effort by efficiently
organizing, adding value to and sharing Web-based listing
information with clients. RealtyTracer works with either the
Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browsers to
provide real-estate professionals the capability to electronically
gather, view, annotate, present and publish hard copies of
Web-based real-estate information. RealtyTracer's self-contained
research presentations can be provided to clients via e-mail or on
diskette for viewing on a PC using a Web browser, even without the
RealtyTracer application installed.
RealtyTracer Features and Benefits
Easy to install to begin generating powerful research results.
RealtyTracer installs easily and gets users researching quickly by
automatically locating and configuring a user's default
Web-browser and Internet connection during installation.
RealtyTracer users won't need to keep a bulky manual on hand since
the product includes online user documentation and help system.
Faster browsing on-line or off-line
RealtyTracer includes PeakSoft's award-winning Java-based Web
acceleration capabilities, which can significantly improve
browsing speeds. RealtyTracer uses acceleration agents to
"look-ahead" and pre-load links, and creates its own intelligent
cache so users can quickly and more intuitively access "saved" Web
pages. This enables realtors to more conveniently and thoroughly
review the gathered information off their hard drives rather than
while connected to the Internet. This feature keeps phone lines
freed up, saves online access charges and reduces expensive
proprietary research fees.
Accurate tracking of Web research activity
RealtyTracer's PageTracer provides a complete history of each
browsing session. Realtors can also quickly retrieve a list of
important Web page address listings from past searches for faster
access to a particular site. These lists can be edited by
deleting, reordering and annotating every citation in each
browsing session's history.
Managing and organizing research results
RealtyTracer features a built-in PageFolio system, which lets
realtors more intuitively organize the content results of Web
searches. Realtors can build a topical filing system to organize
and archive pages to call up past work more quickly and easily.
RealtyTracer includes a number of PageFolios already filled with
important real-estate related sites and resources as a starting
point to assist realtors in beginning to assemble custom folios
for a particular client.
Sharing Web research briefs
RealtyTracer users can share their Web research data with others
using the product's PagePresenter technology. It enables users to
create slide shows of pages they have gathered, add comments, and
share with others. While viewing the pre-selected Web pages,
clients can choose to visit a particular Web site by simply
clicking a button to activate an online browsing session.
Pricing and Availability
Currently RealtyTracer is available for a 90-day evaluation by
registering at the RealtyTracer Web site at
realtytracer.peak.com to receive an immediate installation
download from the Web site or a CD-ROM by postal mail. Pricing
has not yet been established for RealtyTracer, which is scheduled
for final release in Q2 1999.
