MLSListings of California Chooses Instanet Solutions
MLS to deploy Document Management Solution to Bay Area REALTORS®
SUNNYVALE, CA and AUSTIN, TX - November 8, 2008 - MLSListings® and Instanet Solutions announced today that MLSListings will offer Instanet Solution’s DocBox™ document management system and other integrated paperless technologies to MLSListings’s nearly 20,000 subscribers.
DocBox is an online digital document storage and management platform. Brokers and their associates will be able to take their businesses “paperless”, managing all of their transaction files online and accessing transaction files from virtually any internet-connected PC in the world. Brokers and their associates will also be able to grant their clients 24-hour-a-day access to specific transaction documents by enabling the system’s broker- and agent-branded Customer Service Portal.
The system will be tightly integrated with MLSListings’s MLS system, giving users the ability to import data into forms and into the transaction file using both MLS content and public records. Users will be able to link DocBox documents, such as property disclosures, to MLSListings for easy file-sharing via the MLS.
“With its headquarters located right in the heart of the Silicon Valley, MLSListings’ subscribers and their clients demand the best online tools,“ said Joe Kazzoun, vice president of business and product development at Instanet Solutions. “DocBox and its included, branded Customer Service Portal make it a perfect fit.”
“DocBox’s versatility is key to our brokers and agents,” said Jim Harrison, President and Chief Executive Officer of MLSListings. “You can use whatever technology is available to load docs into the system: fax, scanner, create links to websites, or upload files from your computer. It adapts to each situation.”
