Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors® simultaneously launches Rapattoni MLS and Secure Logon

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., August 6, 2007 – Rapattoni Corporation announced that the Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors® (WRAR) has completed a successful implementation of both Rapattoni MLS and Rapattoni Secure Logon for its nearly 3,000 real estate professionals. This marks the first time that an association has launched both products simultaneously.

"We're extremely pleased with how smoothly the launch went," said MLS President Susan Lacy. "Every week we've received e-mails from members who are excited about the new features included in Rapattoni MLS."

Jerry Panz, chief executive officer of WRAR added, "The Rapattoni staff has been wonderful to work with, from the implementation team to the support personnel. They're the best with whom I've ever worked during a conversion and deserve recognition."

WRAR Director of Technology Brian Bell added, "The service and support of Rapattoni has honestly floored me. Your team strives for success, and achieves that success in a wonderful and proficient manner. The entire team that came for training were some of the most professional that I have ever met. I could not be more satisfied, and I wish to express my personal and sincere thanks to you and your company for one of the cleanest installs and some of the best customer support that I have ever witnessed."

Rapattoni MLS provides the platform for both the residential and commercial MLSs for WRAR. The two MLSs operate independently, with separate committees, setups and designs. Rapattoni Secure Logon increases data security for WRAR by providing strong, two-factor user authentication during logon. The association is now running the full suite of Rapattoni products, including the Rapattoni Magic Association Management software that they have utilized since 1995.

As part of the deployment of Rapattoni's multiple listing system, the Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors® also installed Rapattoni's Parcel Mapping feature. Parcel Mapping integrates high-quality GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data directly into the MLS system. This allows MLS listing data to be presented side-by-side with property data from the county tax records on a map showing property lines. Multiple layers of data can be overlaid on the parcel map, such as lot dimensions, flood zones, sewer line layouts, and school district boundaries.

"We worked closely with the Wilmington executive team and staff to coordinate the many aspects of this simultaneous two-product, two-MLS rollout, with outstanding results," said Andy Rapattoni. "This project was a real challenge for our implementation team, and they proved to be up to the task. We truly appreciate all the compliments and kind words that we've received from the Wilmington staff and membership."
