The company, known for developing innovative tools, will demonstrate its Agent XSites with new aerial mapping and podcasting technologies at booth 2237

For Immediate Release

SAN FRANCISCO, CA   -- a la mode, a leading developer of desktop, mobile and Web tools for real estate professionals, for the third straight year will give away a new car — a convertible Porsche Boxster — to one lucky real estate professional during the National Association of REALTORS® Conference and Expo in San Francisco Oct. 28-31.

a la mode, which has been developing real estate technology tools for the past 20 years, began offering its Agent XSites ( www.AgentXSites.com) — customizable websites currently used by thousands of real estate agents throughout the United States — in 2003.

Since that time, agents have not only found XSites to be the most technologically advanced and easiest to use, but also the industry’s best value. For instance, Agent XSites come with 24/7 customer support, a risk free 100-day money back guarantee, and they include free upgrades each month that alone would cost thousands of dollars for agents to implement on their own.

“Over the last 20 years our customers have told us that they want ongoing innovation that makes sense, that sets them apart, and we provide cutting edge technologies before anyone else,” said Rusty Lindquist, a la mode’s Vice President of Agent Products. “We were first movers with multimedia listings, integrated aerial mapping, and podcasting listing technology.  These are just a few examples of kind of innovations our customers are confident they'll receive regularly.”

In addition to entering to win the Porsche, agents at the NAR Conference can see firsthand two of the recent technology updates that are made available to XSite users at no cost: Google Earth™ aerial mapping technology and podcasting. These tools help agents win more listings, differentiate their services and gain more business.

Like the Porsche it is giving away, a la mode’s Agent XSites deliver an impressive image and powerful performance with features like pre-built content pages, multilingual content and lead capture tools, all at one low price.

Registering for a chance to win the Porsche takes just a few minutes, Lindquist noted, and real estate professionals can do so either at a la mode’s booth #2237, or online prior to the conference at www.AgentXSites.com.
