RE/MAX Southern Advantage Announces Technology Initiative

Pitttsboro, NC, January 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- SAVVI to Help Customers and Brokers Alike.

RE/MAX Southern Advantage announced the launch of its SAVVI (pronounced Savvy) initiative. SAVVI stands for Southern Advantage Vision Venture Initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to take advantage of opportunities in this new real-estate market and look for technological solutions and processes to take advantage of those opportunities.

Barrett Powell, Owner and ex-Tech Executive with both Hewlett-Packard (HP) and IBM says “This initiative is a marriage between cutting edge technologies and good old fashioned sales and marketing techniques to create a real value proposition for our customers and our brokers. We look for ways to make the customer experience second to none by providing services and resources they won’t find anywhere else. In addition, we aim to provide our brokers with the latest and best in technologies to help them serve their clients better. One of our first undertakings was to become a full fledged approved software development partner with the Triangle MLS through our web development firm Strategic Advantage. That commitment allowed us to provide one off custom solutions for our company websites that enhance the customer experience and are found only with us. Most other firms rely on 3rd party vendors for their MLS IDX search and listing capabilities, and it shows. You go to one site of our competitors and you pretty much have seen them all. Ours is different.”

Look for additional press releases outlining new initiative components as they are released.
