Brokers eagerly embrace technology solutions that enable them to run their offices more efficiently while providing more value to their agents.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 13, 2006 -- Brokers eagerly embrace technology solutions that enable them to run their offices more efficiently while providing more value to their agents.

“Real estate brokers are using more sophisticated lead assignment systems to track and report lead activity,” said Dave Sidwell, President of Katabat, a company that creates best-in-class software solutions for real estate brokers. “Technology now provides brokers with the ability to save time by reducing lead data entry so they can concentrate on increasing conversion rates with their agents.”

Pipeline Manager is seamlessly used with Homes.com broker websites to efficiently distribute and track leads from the first communication all the way through to the close of a sale.

“Homes.com is constantly seeking ways to help our real estate agents and brokers manage and grow their business more effectively,“ said Jamie Clymer, Vice President and General Manager of Homes.com, “We're excited about the partnership with Katabat and eager to include Pipeline Manager in our product offering to brokers."
