New Search and Mapping Features From ZipRealty Help Home-Buyers Identify Preferred School Districts and Neighborhoods

EMERYVILLE, CA, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
ZipRealty (NASDAQ: ZIPR) (www.ZipRealty.com), the first national real
estate brokerage to allow home shoppers to post ratings of MLS-listed
homes and agent service, now allows buyers to scout for homes in specific
school districts within the 36 markets the company serves.

The new school district mapping feature -- which shows the explicit school
district boundaries pertaining to a selected home listing -- is part of
ZipRealty's latest release of advanced search tools allowing home-buyers
to personalize their home hunt even further. Users can also now see
boundaries for specific city neighborhoods in the mapping and satellite
view.

In addition to the new school district and neighborhood information,
ZipRealty added a keyword search feature allowing clients to look for
homes with specific or unique features, such as granite countertops or a
waterfront lot. These new search tools add to existing site features
including client satisfaction ratings of agents, foreclosed home search,
and Price Track, a reduced price search tool, creating an even more robust
home shopping experience for buyers.

"We've been dedicated to providing buyers more information about homes for
sale for the last ten years. We continue to add more and more innovative
features, and important local details like school district and
neighborhood boundaries are a natural evolution of that process," said
ZipRealty President and CEO Patrick Lashinsky. "Buyers can already see
photos and many different types of maps, including StreetView, on our
site. Now they can look for really local information like neighborhood
names, too."
