SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Bug! Real Estate, San Francisco`s neoteric real estate brokerage, today unveiled
its new Web site, www.bugrealestate.com, which features user-focused tools and
information to help Bay Area buyers and sellers understand and evaluate real
estate properties. Now home buyers and sellers can get information in a variety
of ways, from having their questions answered by an experienced agent in a live
online chat session to, for the first time, being able to search for homes based
on their desired monthly payment. Bug! Real Estate`s Web site also features the
360 Degree Mash-Up, which provides highly specific local data, including FBI
crime statistics, school information and walk scores.

"It has always been a challenge to get really good local data online and we are
the first in the Bay Area to offer the 360 Degree Mash-Up feature," said Kirk
Gregor, executive director and broker at Bug! Real Estate. "The Bay Area is a
diverse and complicated real estate market and these new features provide users
with the tools and information necessary to make sense of Bay Area communities."

Bug! Real Estate`s free, online tools support buyers and sellers throughout the
entire real estate process and can be accessed on the go with any Smartphone.

* Live online chat: users can receive real-time assistance from a local,
licensed real estate agent with expertise in the neighborhood that they are
interested in
* 360° mash-up: provides information on schools, demographics, local news,
Google sales, walk scores, FBI crime statistics, jobs, price trends and
Zestimates for a particular property and neighborhood

"At Bug!, we are committed to doing business the way people want to do it," said
Chris Siow, owner of Bug! Real Estate. "From cutting edge online tools to
traditional in-person service, we give buyers and sellers the ability to deal
with real estate the way they want to."
