Real Estate Firm Embraces New Technology to Tackle Tough Home Selling Market

Hasson Real Estate and RocketBux Connect Homebuyers and Homes
Using Mobile Phone Technology
BEND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Have you ever driven by a home for sale and wondered how much it
costs or how many bedrooms and baths it has? Now potential buyers can
quickly and easily get the information they need about a home and
decide if they want to obtain more. Using technology from RocketBux,
Portland-based Hasson Real Estate is bringing new innovation to home
selling. Now potential home buyers can simply use their mobile phone
to have home data appears within seconds.

How It Works

By typing in the house-specific code advertised on the real estate
sign in front of a house, potential home buyers instantly get all the
basic information about the house delivered right to their mobile
phones. Consumers can quickly determine if they want to contact the
real estate agent and tour the home. Links to the real estate agent's
phone and email are also provided in the text message, making it easy
for potential home buyers to move to the next step.

"It's a big convenience and benefit to all parties involved:
buyer, seller and realtor," says Bill Berger, Managing Principal
Broker at the Hasson Bend. "It's also a great first step for the
potential home buyer to engage with Hasson in a non-committal way."

"Now there is no need for expensive flyers which will end up in a
landfill," says Brian Tompkins of RocketBux. "Also, unlike a flyer,
our technology enables agents to easily change home data -- such as
price -- in real-time."

Terms of the agreement were not announced. RocketBux also has
mobile technology agreements with retailers, resort operators,
technology companies, mileage programs and card issuers.
