(TSX–VENTURE:IEE), a digital imaging innovator, today announced the launch of RealBiz360 its comprehensive self service web portal to address growing demand for the creation, publishing and marketing of virtual tours and by North American real estate agents and brokers. The effort included assembling partnerships with Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA; the purchase of RealBiz360 self-serve real estate marketing portal; the embedding of its patented panoramic software on digital cameras; and supporting a photographer network. “We are well positioned to monetize our investments to see continuing growth with our real estate marketing services,” said Anthony DeCristofaro, iseemedia president and CEO. “RealBiz360’s goal is to drive three recurring revenue streams through real estate agents, partners, and full service photographers serving the real estate sector.” According to surveys the Internet search for a home has risen from a mere two percent in 1995 to over 77 percent 10 years later and virtual tours have become a standard practice in real estate marketing. The massive increase in digital camera use has created enormous opportunities for iseemedia. The growing trend of home buyers and sellers relying on Web-based information has translated into new touch points for realtors and iseemedia’s strategy is designed to introduce its solution to a large base of participants, including other online service providers. iseemedia’s marketing system also ties into www.move.com, the official site of the National Association of Realtors, where realtor marketing collateral featuring virtual tours can be automatically uploaded and where homebuyers view properties via virtual tours more than 120,000 times daily. While majority of the images posted to move.com are low quality, using iseemedia’s patented server technologies, RealBiz360 is able to deliver interactive, high definition virtual tours for viewing in high resolution, providing unparalleled detail. “Few can match the quality, ease of use and immediate access to our web service offering, an ecosystem that is now supported by some of the leading brands in the world,” said Steve Marques, RealBiz360 president. “Our broad support of a broker and agent self-service solution, as well as a service for the real estate photographer network, will greatly advance our penetration of the real estate market and build a greater awareness of our virtual tour services.” About RealBiz360 RealBiz360 Inc. provides the industry’s first self-service model for real estate professionals that seamlessly combine web marketing with virtual tour creation.
