GURU NETworks Inc. this week announced that
10 companies have signed up to use its g3Direct transaction management product
to handle transactions for their Realtor customers.
Current
members of GURUnet's network include Classic Real Estate VA, Deb's Desk, Expert
REVAs, Global Connection Virtual Office, Inet Office VA and 1st Choice.
g3Direct
was designed to keep all the participants, including the Realtor client, aware
of the status of the transaction over the Web.
The service is totally Web-based and requires only an Internet browser to use.
Several
brokers who have used a coordinator "from scratch" have opted to outsource
to a professional Virtual Assistant rather than training another company
employee, according to GURU NETworks. This setup gives the company access
to all the data collected by the virtual assistant during the transaction
in the company's own online database. The company can hire additional in-house
or virtual coordinators as its business grow. The comapny owns all their
own data, action plans and customized documents, GURUNet said.
GURU
NETworks provides Web-based software and services to the residential real
estate industry.
