SAN JOSE, Calif., May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- To help real estate
agents stay on top of homes sold, Top Producer® Systems, a
leading developer of media and technology solutions for real estate
professionals operated by Move, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVE), today
introduced Sold Alert, a tool that helps agents promptly
notify potential sellers of a home sale near their property.
As part of Top Producer's Market Snapshot® service, Sold
Alert generates notifications within minutes of the Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) reporting a home sale as closed. Potential
sellers often want opinions on pricing and other market advice well
in advance of listing their home for sale. Sold Alert
enables agents to improve the dialogue with potential sellers by
providing very timely and pertinent pricing information regarding
sold homes.
"We anticipate Sold Alert will add substantially to the
value of Market Snapshot, because it gives agents the opportunity
to be first in delivering important neighborhood home sale news and
to have a more informed conversation with potential sellers about
local home values," said Michael
Kane, Move's senior vice president of software as a service
(SaaS) businesses. "Having a Sold Alert pop up can be the
trigger a real estate agent needs to contact a prospective home
seller and, if the time is right, list their home."
In addition to the new Sold Alert tool, Market Snapshot
provides agents up-to-date reports of sales prices, average market
time, and home transaction activity near a client's home.
