Saskatoon, SK and Vancouver, BC – September 26, 2007 – Point2 Technologies Inc. (“Point2”) Chief Operating Officer, Brendan King has been named to the INMAN News Top 100 Most Influential Leaders in Real Estate: 2007 Report, the Company announced today.
The annual special report compiles a list of the top 100 most influential people in real estate, as well as outside figures whose actions influence the home buying and selling business. The executives on the list embrace leadership, innovation, ingenuity, power and persistence.
King is listed in the Technology and Online Real Estate category, which highlights individuals who have made contributions and continue to lead in the areas of technology and the Internet with an online business platform or technology system that has changed the way industry professionals conduct business.
“On behalf of all staff at Point2, without whom industry-changing innovations such as Point2 NLS would have never happened, I’d like to thank INMAN News for its continuous leadership, and for its confidence in Point2’s contributions to the industry,” added King. “I would also like to take this opportunity to re-assert Point2’s relentless commitment to the rapid and visionary development of online marketing technologies focused single mindedly on helping to support and advance the value of organized real estate and the real estate profession.”
The report cites Point2 National Listing Service (Point2 NLS) as one of the company’s key accomplishments in 2007.
The free service was introduced under King’s leadership and breaks traditional MLS geographic listing marketing boundaries that for years have limited real estate professionals’ ability to effectively market listings beyond their local MLS jurisdictions, by now enabling them to automatically cooperate to advertise properties in 85 countries with a single push of a button, and for free.
