Austin Board of Realtors partners with Realtors Property Resource to expand local market data

By

AUSTIN, Texas – January 14, 2014 – The Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) announced today a partnership with Realtors Property Resource® (RPR), a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS®, to license MLS listing data to RPR’s national property database for their more than 9,000 members. The agreement is set to take effect in the latter part of 2014.

“This partnership underscores the Austin Board of REALTORS®’ commitment to providing the latest tools and technological resources to our members,” said Lisa Messana, 2014 Chair of ABoR’s ACTRIS Advisory Committee. “Through Realtors Property Resource, we will empower Austin REALTORS® with additional tools to analyze the real estate market and communicate market conditions to consumers.”

Austin REALTORS® have had access to the RPR database since 2012, but the system has not included Austin-area listing information to date. Under this new data licensing agreement, Austin REALTORS® will be able to use the RPR system to view public record data and listing activity, and generate informational reports on the Austin-area housing market to use with clients and consumers. RPR is available exclusively to members of the National Association of REALTORS®.

RPR CEO Dale Ross says the partnership with ABoR speaks to the company’s core purpose.

“Realtors Property Resource was created in 2009 as a national database designed to work in cooperation with MLSs and Associations across the country, for the benefit of their REALTOR® members,” Ross says.

Since 2009, RPR’s product offering has expanded beyond its initial Residential Application– a nationwide database of property listing information– to include Broker Tool Sets, RPR Commercial, investment tools, legislative resources and reports.

United® Real Estate Announces the Opening of Beverly Hills, Pasadena, and Louisville Offices

By

Real Estate Company Brings Disruptive Business Model, Featuring 100 Percent Commission, to 11 States in Six Months

October 2, 2013 (KANSAS CITY, Mo.) –– United® Real Estate, a fast-growing urbancentric
real estate and franchise operation company, today announces three new
franchise openings in Beverly Hills, Calif., Pasadena, Calif., and Louisville, Ky. With the
opening of three new offices, United has doubled the markets it services since the
introduction of its franchise model in April 2013, and is now operating in 11 states in
only six months. The United group of companies has been recognized by the Wall
Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, and AllBusiness.com as a top-performing real
estate organization.

Annie Chen, who has over 25 years of experience in real estate investment,
development, financing, sales, and marketing, has purchased the Pasadena, and
Beverly Hills, Calif. United Real Estate franchise markets. Annie previously worked at
RE/MAX® as an associate while managing her own real estate investment portfolio, and
has been an active member of the Building Industry Association (BIA), serving as a
judge for Urban Design Contests. Ching Wong, who formerly worked with RE/MAX®
and has over 28 years experience in real estate sales and management in the California
markets, will be the managing broker of the Beverly Hills and Pasadena United Real
Estate franchises.

“United Real Estate offers a very liberating agent-centric concept and the key to
prosperity and success for everyone involved,” said Annie Chen. With its ‘Freedom
Model,’ United Real Estate is where the true American dream is made possible for all
real estate agents.”

Veteran relator and former owner of Mays & Associates, Bonnie Mays, has purchased
the franchise rights to the Louisville, Ky. market. This expansion follows a successful
launch of a United Real Estate office in Lexington, Ky. earlier this year.

“United Real Estate is really about giving agents the freedom to be business
entrepreneurs and to be compensated accordingly,” said Bonnie Mays. “I am
overwhelmed by the positive response of our Lexington office, and am very excited
about bringing the opportunity to Louisville agents.”

The speed of sales growth for United is attributed to the rapid increase in the number of
dedicated experienced agents who are attracted to United’s unique full service 100
percent commission strategy. This “Freedom Model” includes an unmatched full-service
solution that provides the latest training, marketing, technology and access to a national
referral network to real estate agents and to owners of real estate companies through a
franchise offering.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce our agent-centric model to California with an
experienced entrepreneur like Annie to lead the way, and to have the expertise of
Bonnie to expand her already successful United operation into Louisville is a win for
everyone.” said Peter Giese, President of United Real Estate. “These new additions
prove that our franchise model is unlike any other in the real estate industry. United is
not only a true franchise business model with a defined process for its owner to follow to
achieve success but one that is backed by a company with an 88 year history of
successfully servicing real estate agents and consumers.”

Also, to help provide ongoing education from the best minds and most successful professionals in the Real Estate.

“When putting the Realty411 Academy Experts together I first thought of the real estate professionals I had met at the numerous workshops and seminars that Really411 Magazine has hosted throughout the country” said Linda Pliagas, Founder of Realty411 Magazine and Realty411 Academy. “One of those companies that was first on my mind was Longhorn Investments. I knew Ryan (Kimura) had moved over there recently and his real estate investment knowledge, along with his connections to other important real estate related services, made me reach out to him to see if he and his new company were interested in contributing to the academy. We were thrilled when they were one of the first to jump on board. Ryan, and Longhorn Investments, really have tons of information from creating the right entity, to tax planning for real estate investor, to hard money loans. Even though most investors know Longhorn as a hard money lender they are really so much more. The absolute wealth of information for real estate investors make Longhorn one company everyone should connect with even if they don’t lend in your market “

Not all hard money lenders are the same. Longhorn III Investments, LLC is your lending partner in real estate investments!

“As we grow and expand our hard money loan product throughout the nation, and locally, building the right relationships that can help spread our hard money loans become paramount,” stated Ryan Kimura, VP of Sales & Business Development at Longhorn III Investments. “Linda and the Realty411 brand puts together fantastic events throughout the country. Many of which I have been able to be a part of as a vendor, sponsor and/or presenter. I would assume that her idea for the Realty411 Academy will be just as great. So, we jumped at the opportunity to get involved.”
