The deal with FrontDoor.com centers on two Terabitz components: A beta version of the company's iPhone home search application and Neighborhood Explorer, which delivers rich local data in an elegant map interface. FrontDoor's new iPhone application, which can be accessed at http://m.frontdoor.com, enables users to search for homes based on several criteria. The Terabitz Neighborhood Explorer allows FrontDoor's iPhone users to view a wide array of services and amenities around any given home listing. Schools, places of worship, restaurants, banks, ATM machines, coffee houses, grocery stores and much more can be displayed with one click.
"FrontDoor delivers an experience that is richer and more compelling than
that found on any other site in the real estate category, and we're proud to
be part of it," said Terabitz CEO
"FrontDoor exists to give people deep home-related content when and how
they want it, and the Terabitz Neighborhood Explorer and iPhone application
fit the bill," said
Terabitz has quickly emerged as a leading real estate technology provider since its launch last year. The company's technology has been adopted by leading real estate brokerages around the country, including Intero Real Estate Services (CA), Metro Brokers (CO), Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty (AZ), Century 21 Bowman (TX), Real Estate One (MI), Century 21 Abrams, Hutchinson and Associates (NJ), Tomlinson Real Estate (ID), RE/MAX Commonwealth (NC) and Century 21 Money World (NV).
"This relationship means our content and tools and will reach millions of new users, and that's a great thing for Terabitz," concluded Terabitz' Munshi.
