Avectra Adds New Integrations and Features to Industry’s Fastest Growing REALTOR® Association Management Software

Additional NRDS integrations, MLS and Lockbox Support and Education Credit Tracking make it easier for REALTOR® Association staff to manage data and service members

MCLEAN, VA (SaaS Newswire) December 13, 2010Avectra, the industry’s leading web-based association management software (AMS) provider, announced today a suite of new integrations and enhancements for netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations – the company’s, proven solution designed for the unique needs of REALTOR® associations and boards.

With more than 50 organizations using Avectra’s game-changing association management software, netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations is the fastest growing AMS in the industry. Now, with these new features and integrations available free of charge to all current and future customers, REALTOR® associations can focus on customer service rather than tracking credits and other data in third party databases.

The new features improve data integration and staff efficiency and include:

  • Individual Lookup & Transfer – Giving staff members an efficient tool to verify a REALTOR’s status and NAR ID before adding them to the AMS
  • MLS and Lockbox Data Extraction Tools – MLS and Lockbox data fields can be extracted from netFORUM using new options for easy transfer to MLS and Lockbox vendors. This enables staff to manage MLS and Lockbox access from one database – ensuring not only accurate data but also delivering greater staff efficiency.
  • Education Credits and Realtor Designation Transfers – netFORUM now supports Education Credit and REALTOR® designation transfers with NRDS. Data can be pulled in from NRDS or pushed out from netFORUM for individual REALTORS®. In addition, designations will be pulled in from NRDS to netFORUM.

“Avectra’s innovation and understanding of the unique needs of REALTOR® associations is the key to our continued growth and success among REALTOR® associations and boards,” said Patrick Dorsey, vice president of marketing for Avectra. “With this update, we now have even more integrations and connections with third-party REALTOR® applications and vendors as well as NRDS – ensuring that REALTOR® board staff can focus on the business of running their organization instead of managing data and operating multiple databases. The result is a strong ROI driven by a established system already hard at work for a number of successful organizations.”

“Since we switched to Avectra’s AMS for REALTOR associations, our member satisfaction has skyrocketed thanks to online payments and member self-service,” said Michael Barr, CAE, e-PRO, chief executive officer for the Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association.

Introduced just over a year ago, netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations – Avectra’s 100% web-based REALTOR® association software – has become a dominant industry force. Avectra’s impressive customer roster includes state and local REALTOR® associations and boards who recognize Avectra’s ability to successfully deliver a proven, web-based association management system that allows them to meets the distinct needs of REALTOR® associations as well as tap into aspects of traditional association management — e-Marketing, meeting management and registrations, online individual profiles, e-Commerce and more — all within one solution.

“netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations has streamlined our reporting and management,” said Dana Holben RCE, chief executive officer for the Dearborn Area Board of REALTORS®. “We have also been very successful with the events module which has made registration data readily available to our staff and vendors – saving time and enabling better service at events.”

netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations is powerful web-based association software designed for the unique needs of REALTOR® associations. It features not only NRDS integration for data transfer but also the ability to use the National Association of REALTORS® e-Commerce site as the payment processor, REALTOR® specific data fields, dues collection and automatic distribution among several real estate associations and bank accounts, and REALTOR® association specific reports.

Avectra is participating in the 2010 ASAE Technology Conference and Exposition on December 14 and 15 in Washington, D.C. Visit booth #215 for information regarding netFORUM Pro for Real Estate Associations and all Avectra solutions.
