We are proud to announce the launch of a new flagship Gutensite website for Alain Pinel, a local Luxury Real Estate Broker with about 1300 agents in the San Francisco Bay Area. We created the first Bay Area Open House Search website, which has integrated live property data from the four independent Multiple Listing Services in the area. This in itself was a Herculean feat, since they all follow separate data standards, so we had to create a shared standard of our own. The new seamlessly integrates this data, and provides additional features such as: map based searches, property mapping, street view, directions, favorites, RSS subscription, email alerts, and open house route planning for multiple properties.

Alain Pinel has created this site as a way to save them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by weaning themselves off weekly print advertising for open house announcements which costs them a fortune. This website can not only save them tremendous amounts of money, but it also gives people the ability to view live results with all the extra features of searching from the convenience of their home whenever and wherever they want. It's a huge improvement for their customers, and we hope it becomes the favored standard for property searching in the Bay Area.

The new APR site used our standard core MLS functionality but we used this opportunity to make a lot of improvements that we've been planning for a while. So in time, our other clients will find many of these same features integrated in the default MLS features that power their site as well.
