Focused Firm Couples Latest Technology and Personalized Service,
        Provides Attractive Alternative for Buyers and Sellers
NASHUA, N.H.--(Business Wire)--
i-Abode Real Estate, LLC (www.i-abode.com) announced today the
official launch of the boutique firm, founded to answer the public's
call for attentive and highly personalized service, maximum exposure
for their property and/or greater visibility into the properties on
the market in Southern New Hampshire. By applying the latest
technologies, i-Abode provides prospective home buyers and sellers
access to the industry's most advanced search and listing capabilities
and gives them greater control over the buying and selling processes.

   Even in today's market, it is a good time to buy or sell a home or
investment property; interest rates are reasonably low, the Southern
New Hampshire market offers attractive job opportunities, Baby Boomers
are downsizing and generations X and Y are getting married and seeking
homes to accommodate their growing families. Even if not in the market
now to buy or sell a home, it is advantageous to "plug into" market
developments and opportunities in order to be more knowledgeable six
to twelve months down the road. i-Abode can help.

   "Before working with Rachel McMeen the sale of our home was
floundering, immediately upon engaging with her, we soared--the
property sold in four short weeks right in the middle of a market
downturn," said Nancy Mulligan. "Rachel re-energized the process, she
proposed innovative marketing ideas and gave us frank and constructive
advice about what would make our home most attractive to buyers; she
even brought in a professional stager at her own expense. Rachel's use
of Internet advertising and colorful sales packages really captured
the personality and highlights of our home and gave it maximum
exposure."

   i-Abode is where "technology meets tradition." The firm's founders
come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a distinct technology-driven,
yet collaborative approach to the real-estate market. Through
technology and its expertise, i-Abode has its finger on the pulse of
Southern New Hampshire and can quickly respond to changes in the
market. At the same time, the firm provides the full range of
traditional services and is dedicated to teaming up with buyers or
sellers and working with them at their desired pace.

   "Many buyers and sellers are looking for alternatives when
selecting a real-estate agency--often they feel unplugged from the
process and want greater visibility into property marketing and their
search efforts," said Rachel McMeen, principal broker, i-Abode Real
Estate, LLC. "i-Abode is uniquely qualified to serve as a
one-stop-shop for buyers and sellers, empowering them with the
information and resources they need to capture market opportunities,
maximize their returns and ultimately, meet their real-estate goals."

   The firm offers a choice of marketing plans with highly
competitive and flexible fee structures that give sellers the level of
control they are individually seeking and provide them with a clear
understanding of how their money is spent. i-Abode leverages its
resources to create the highest level of exposure for a property by
placing listings on more than 300 high-traffic websites and portals,
including Google, Trulia, Yahoo, MLS.com, Zillow. Unlike many agencies
today, i-Abode represents a buyer, as their Buyers Agent at no charge
to the consumer. The firm also offers special relocation assistance
for buyers coming to the area from a distance.

   Additionally, i-Abode is dedicated to serving as a trusted source
of information to the Southern New Hampshire community. Its founders
have designed the firm's Website as an informational tool, offering
search capabilities, neighborhood information, answers to frequently
asked questions, recommendations and links to other resources.

   Further executing on this commitment, the firm will kick off a
purely educational "Lunch and Learn" Program next month. i-Abode will
be joined by Wells Fargo and HomeCheck Professional Home Inspections
in walking through "The Fundamentals of Buying a Home." The first of a
series, the session will give prospective buyers an understanding of
the pre-approval process, legal documentation and inspection
considerations they need in order to proceed with confidence. Details
regarding the inaugural event and other future sessions will be
available at http://www.i-Abode.com.
