Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions Enhances HomeServices TRIO Web

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Real Estate Solutions division of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. , a Fortune 500 provider of products, services and technology solutions to the financial and real estate industries, announced today the recent addition of the company's "Sell My Home" real estate communication feature to TRIO(TM), an exclusive, user-friendly Web site management suite used by the HomeServices family of companies and supported by Fidelity National Financial. This new communication feature has already gained wide acceptance among real estate professionals who utilize TRIO to manage property listings, agent data and other day-to-day activities.

For real estate agents, the "Sell My Home" feature automates communication with their home selling customers. The foundation of this automation lies in the system's ability to track and share property marketing activities. The "Sell My Home" feature tracks marketing activities such as scheduled showings and open houses, direct mail campaigns and advertising. Other statistical information, such as property Web site activity and length of time on the market can also be accessed through this feature. In addition to obtaining this information online, sellers may also have this information automatically e-mailed to them as soon as it becomes available. All of these enhanced reporting capabilities help to expand agent-level productivity and increase customer satisfaction.

Edina Realty, a Minnesota-based HomeServices of America company, recently launched the "Sell My Home" feature in their TRIO system, which can be accessed by permission at http://www.edinarealty.com/ . Since its introduction several months ago, approximately 3,400 Edina agents have embraced the new functionality as a means of facilitating proactive communication with their seller customers. In addition, more than 4,000 of Edina's seller customers have access to the "Sell My Home" feature to obtain property marketing status information.

"The 'Sell My Home' feature has opened up a whole new channel for keeping customers informed of their property status," said Bob Peltier, President of Edina Realty. "It is an incredible time-saver and our customers are delighted with the instant feedback. It is no surprise that the 'Sell My Home' feature in the TRIO system has been so quickly embraced by our agents and customers, as it facilitates effective and efficient communication in a manner that is unparalleled in our industry."

"We are excited that the 'Sell My Home' feature has been so well received by Edina Realty's agents and their customers in such a short period of time," said Jack Willey, Executive Vice President of Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions. "The success they have experienced truly reflects our vision to enhance the real estate transaction process for everyone involved," said Willey.
