Realhound Now Offers the Fastest Growing Offering Network in North America!
San Clemente, CA – October 29th, 2009
64 Million Square Feet!
Over $4.6 Billion in Properties for Sale!
Covering 33 states and provinces!
More than 1700 Listings!
The Realhound Offering Network is now the fastest growing Commercial Real Estate
property offering network in North America! In just a few weeks the network already
offers more than $4.6 Billion in properties for sale across the United States and
Canada. The great news is that the network joins the portfolio of great tools already
available through Realhound! By changing a single field you can publish a For Sale
offering in your Realhound database to all other Realhound users.
In addition, you can also look up offerings published by others throughout the Realhound
community and instantly import them into your database! With these listings in your
database, you can run buyer's needs against them and work with them just like any
other property! Your database remains as secure as always, as you are in full control
of the publishing. As Realhound users typically set a property to For Sale in their
own database for entering it into other 3rd party listing databases, you will discover
opportunities before non-Realhound users!
Over the coming weeks Realhound will be releasing enhancements to the network, including
publishing For Lease opportunities and sharing of properties.

National Real Estate Investor Magazine: Realhound Hunts for Efficient Tools
San Clemente, CA – February 17th, 2009
Q & A with Josh Fadley, Realhound's vice president of operations
When it comes to commercial real estate software, Realhound, based in San Clemente,
Calif., hopes to be one of the most innovative. Established in 1998 by software
developer Andrew Blount, a former executive with Comps Infosystems, which merged
into CoStar, Realhound has an impressive client list. It counts most large national
commercial real estate service firms among its clients, including Grubb & Ellis,
Marcus & Millichap, Colliers International, ReMax Commercial, CB Richard Ellis
and Sperry Van Ness.
Josh Fadley, Realhound's vice president of operations, spoke with NREI about the
company's latest industry software and the compelling need for commercial real estate
firms to focus on internal efficiencies using the latest tech tools.
NREI: What is RealHound's niche in the commercial real estate technology
world?
FADLEY: Our services include providing deal-tracking and custom-reporting
tools, cold-calling and document management software. We also provide a function
for "auto matching," which gives an agent the ability to automatically match potential
clients to available buildings and spaces just as they come onto the market. Storing
comprehensive property data about your key clients is one thing, but having a powerful
way to actually use that information is even more critical when you're trying to
add value to a real estate business. That is especially true in this economy.
NREI: You have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software
program known as RealHound Live! What does it do?
FADLEY: Over the past few years, our original Realhound IP product
has essentially evolved into the current Realhound Live!, which allows agents to
share information without the typically slow performance that comes from a shared
database environment. Realhound Live! provides automatic synchronization of an individual
or team's Realhound database with just a simple internet connection. There's no
need to use remote-access tools, a virtual private network or other clunky tools.
This brings together teams or also allows individual team members to work seamlessly
whether they're at work, home or on the road.
NREI: Does this work when the Internet is unavailable?
FADLEY: Yes. If you're on the road or anywhere else without an
Internet connection, you can still make any changes you want to your database. The
next time you pick up a connection, all the changes that you made offline will automatically
sync up. Many groups in the Southeast U.S. took full advantage of Realhound Live!
in recent hurricane seasons. A lot of real estate offices had no viable network
following the storms, but Realhound Live! users were able to access and use their
databases by running off a generator.
NREI: You also offer something called the BullsEye! Information
Retrieval tool. What is it?
FADLEY: BullsEye! is a great resource for "look-up," or retrieval,
of company names, postal and email addresses, phone numbers, and other information
about contacts. The tool is a replacement to calling "information" and it allows
for quick identification of the individuals in question and pulling desired information
directly into the program without having to re-key.
NREI: How much do these products and services typically cost?
FADLEY: Realhound has an annual license that includes unlimited
upgrades, unlimited technical support and live training sessions, plus open Q&A
support and access to our online Realhound University of guides and tutorials. The
retail price for Realhound Live! is $695 per year but we offer group and corporate-licensing
discounts.
NREI: How has the ongoing soft market impacted your business?
FADLEY: While we've seen significant attrition in commercial real
estate, our business has continued to grow. Those who plan to survive the economic
downturn are retooling and focusing on ways to build internal efficiencies, which
is something that a lot of real estate companies haven't looked at until recently.
That's translated into steady growth in our client base. We are seeing consistent
renewals by existing clients who have seen the dramatic improvement it's had on
their business.
NREI: What's next for Realhound?
FADLEY: We've steadily built up our corporate relationships to
where we have licensing agreements with most of the largest brokerage firms. With
our integrated approach, the tools we can offer are unlimited. We are also continuing
to make our entire suite of tools more user-friendly.

Commercial Real Estate CRM Goes High-tech
PHOENIX, AZ- March 24th, 2008
Commercial real estate brokers have long joked that their industry has made so few
advancements in technology that it almost seems as if they were still in the Stone
Age. Despite all the rhetoric, there is now a bright new star on the commercial
real estate industry’s horizon-- RealHound.com®. This California based software
company has developed a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software program,
called RealHound Live!, that is so good it’s nothing short of revolutionary. While
commercial brokers nationwide can rejoice that their long awaited software "White
Knight" has finally arrived, they can also marvel in the knowledge that the technology
developed just for them will transform other unrelated industries as well. Isn’t
life ironic?
RealHound Live! has all of the functionality and tools that a person needs to be
successful in commercial real estate sales and leasing. The program contains many
industry firsts such as seamless integration of contacts to properties, cold calling
tools, marketing campaign reporting, auto-matching of buyer & tenant needs, phone
number lookup capabilities and a document management feature that is nothing short
of brilliant. In fact, the program is significantly better than its closest competitor,
has a very large following within some of the largest commercial brokerage houses
in the country and is extremely easy to use. "Gone are the days of Brokers managing
their contacts and property data with spreadsheets and software that was created
back in the 1980’s. Brokers know that the right software technology can help make
them a ton of money in commercial real estate, but until Realhound Live! ® it just
didn’t exist".
But what really makes RealHound Live! so special is the way that the program communicates
data between shared users. The program does not necessarily need a wired network
to keep data and documents current on each user’s computer. Instead, RealHound Live!
has a technology called ShareAnywhere® which uses the Internet as if it were your
own personal office network, allowing you the freedom to have as many users in as
many different locations as you could dream-up. If your Internet connection goes
down the program still operates normally because it is installed on your local hard
drive; and as soon as your connection to the Internet is reestablished your data
is automatically updated. All this wizardry has another added benefit-- it allows
you to view your contact & property database using a web browser and your internet
capable Smartphone. It is this sort of integration between the desktop computer
and the Internet that is going to bring an entirely new level of convenience to
your real estate business.
What this means to you is that you can now work from your laptop, office computer
or home office computer at anytime and the changes made on one machine are made
on all of the others within seconds. Imagine your ever changing calendar, task list,
contacts, property information and documents being accessible from every computer
that you own. The dream of being able to work from anywhere is finally a reality.

Hybrid Technology Brings the Flexibility of the Internet to Desktop and Server Based
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Applications.
PHOENIX, AZ- May 7th, 2007
Users of desktop, Internet and client/server based Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) software can now deploy a scalable solution that will allow them to automatically
share data with remote users.
RealHound.com, the leader in commercial real estate CRM software, today announced
the availability of its ShareAnywhere® technology for desktop and
server based CRM applications. RealHound.com’s ShareAnywhere® technology
provides, for the first time, the ability for multiple desktop and client/server
based CRM databases to communicate with one another through the Internet using one
fully integrated solution.
"People want to stay in-touch with the office but not be chained to it. This technology
gives them the flexibility that they need to communicate with their peers through
the Internet and alleviates all concerns about getting to their data if the internet
is not available. Our technology is the perfect marriage of the power of the desktop
computer with the flexibility of the Internet."
Andrew Blount, Realhound.com’s Chairman of the Board, added, "Desktop applications
deliver a superior user experience compared to their web-based counterparts. Web-based
applications held an advantage in their ability to distribute data to the masses
using a web browser, but lose that internet connection and you are in real trouble!
Our ShareAnywhere® technology is the Holy Grail to CRM software because
it delivers the best of both worlds."
RealHound.com’s ShareAnywhere® technology addresses these critical
needs in the CRM industry, including:
- Automatic communication between multiple unique databases through the internet.
- The ability to automatically synchronize any combination of SQL and non-SQL databases.
- Remote users have the same power, and can share exactly the same database, as those
users in the office, even while they are on an airplane or disconnected from the
Internet.
- Always-On™ technology automatically synchronizes remote databases as they connect
to the internet.
- Requires negligible bandwidth for even the largest databases.
Currently, RealHound’s ShareAnywhere® technology is only available
on its RealHound Live! commercial real estate software, however, RealHound.com is
in the process of licensing the technology for use in other industries.
