SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc., a
subsidiary of News Corp [NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA] [ASX: NWS, NWSLV],
announced today an agreement with zipLogix™ to integrate the
zipForm® Plus and zipForm® Mobile digital library of transaction
documents into the Reesio transaction management platform. The
agreement enables real estate professionals to streamline and
simplify the paperwork process for customers, and move more
efficiently through the transaction process with the confidence and
security of a trusted industry solution. The agreement follows
Move's September 2015 acquisition of
Reesio.
Used by more than 650,000 real estate professionals across the
country, zipLogix™ licenses real estate forms from more than 280
associations and brokers and is the official forms software of the
National Association of REALTORS®.
ZipForm® software automates the repetitive and complex steps of
the real estate transaction by digitally populating information
into each form. Its integration directly into the Reesio platform
will create a seamless interface and easy to manage workflow
matched with stringent data security and protection protocols along
the entire transaction.
"This agreement is a perfect convergence of two fundamentally
aligned platforms built by real estate professionals, for real
estate professionals, to help make the process easier and more
efficient for our customers and for consumers," said Luke Glass, executive vice president of industry
platforms for Move. "As more and more of the real estate
process takes place online, working with trusted providers is
absolutely critical. The integration of zipForm® into the Reesio
platform offers ease of use as well as ease of mind for real estate
professionals, and helps them deliver a vital service in the
transaction as expert managers of this complex process."
The integration between Reesio and zipForm® strengthens Move's
role as the industry's leading provider of end-to-end tools for
brokers and agents to manage their clients and their business –
from the first connection with a consumer through closing, and
post-transaction to increase repeat and referral business.
Move recently integrated Reesio and Top Producer, Move's
industry-leading marketing and client management system, and
launched an integration with property information from nearly 600
multiple listing services (MLSs) across the country. The MLS
integration allows Reesio's customers to initiate a transaction by
easily importing the property information from the MLS.
The addition of zipForm® will empower brokers and agents
who use all three products to work seamlessly between Reesio
transaction management software, Top Producer CRM software, and
zipLogix™ zipForm® software for completing forms.
"ZipLogix™ is excited to synchronize product offerings with Move
to improve the business process and help increase productivity and
efficiency for our real estate brokers and agent customers," said
zipLogix™ Chairman of the Board Mark Peterson. "We are
especially enthusiastic to be working closely with a company such
as Move that shares the vision that great technology serves the
purpose of better connecting agents with consumers, strengthening
their collaboration and solidifying the agent's role in the
transaction."
