I love the tools on HAR.com for REALTORS®, but I also
value what we offer to consumers. It enables buyers or sellers to analyze real estate information on subdivisions using
“Subdivision Price Trends,” which contains information on more than 10,000 subdivisions, search more than
130,000 homes sold using “Recent Home Sales,” or learning more about more than 5,000 Texas schools using
“School Finder.” These analytical tools reduce the overall time we spend on a given transaction and focus
more on finding the “right home” for our buyer.

We know the value of technology in the real estate industry to REALTORS® and consumers.
Using our technology we are able to come up with tools such as Golf Course Finder, which integrates property data by offering online consumer
homes on or near a golf course. HAR.com offers the best platform for both, consumers and REALTORS, in conducting a successful user
experience and a great real estate transaction.

With HAR.com, I am able to share knowledge with my clients that would take our office several
hours to compile. Also I stay ahead of the curve by attending business and technology training offered by seven real estate schools around
Houston in a single searchable database through the “HAR Yellow Pages.“ It currently offers more than 4,500 classes, and more
than 40,000 members have registered for classes using this valuable tool. It is incredible!

I know the value of HAR.com as our listing marketer and promoter for all Realtor-listed
properties. Just this year, we will serve more than 67 million listing detail pages to online consumers who will spend more than 504 million
minutes surfing HAR.com. I cannot imagine doing business without this huge promotion from HAR.com. The tools are invaluable for REALTORS.

I’ve never seen a site that offers
as much as HAR.com to consumers and members. Consumers are able
to view more than 14,000 member Web sites enabled with many consumer
tools and more. We are at the top of the industry in offering technology
tools to our members.

The consumers who go to HAR.com come to our office with an idea
of what they want and what they do not want. Using HAR HomeFinder,
more than 50,000 consumers have set 46,000 saved searches, and
have bookmarked 37,000 properties. It cuts down significantly on
the overall time that is spent on driving from property to property.

Just when we thought we had it all, we get “Interactive
Mapping.” What a great way of integrating information such
as surrounding properties, schools, golf courses, restaurants,
shopping centers and much more directly into the property map.
In fact, we are expecting to capture more than 33 million map draws
based on our current statistics.

HAR.com and all those member productivity

Every time a member or consumer tells
me something wonderful about HAR.com, I feel a strong sense of
accomplishment that we have been able to make the technology they
need available. Our focus is to offer more of such unique tools,
for example Highrise Finder, which gives consumers access to a
wide-ranging list of features and services, as well as contemporary
media, such as photo galleries, virtual tours, and more for residential
highrise buildings within the Houston area.

Every time I speak to a new agent, I remind them that they have
access to a wealth of information on HAR.com and they can do a
better job for their clients because of it. It is good to learn
that agents have downloaded more than 400,000 forms using Form
Manager and I highly encourage our agents to take advantage of
all of the other productivity tools as well.

Our clients tell us that HAR.com is so easy to use that it’s the first
place they look for a home and search for a REALTOR to help them buy or sell that home. Using Member Finder, they were
able to search more than 20,000 agents or search among 2,816 multi-lingual members, speaking 82 languages.

I must thank
HAR for designing such an excellent LeadCall system. As soon
as a prospective buyer punches the button on our listings to
speak with the agent, the computerized notification enables me
to call my prospective clients back in two minutes. They are
so impressed!
Thank you again. You guys did an excellent job providing this
invaluable service to your members.

I have an MBA with a speciality in eCommerce, and during the course of
study in graduate school we vetted many websites and analyzed their effectiveness for their business niche as part of
our curriculum ... this one is world class!
I genuinely hope that the realty community appreciates how lucky they are to be a realtor in Houston, Texas and have
online tools like these --- and I absolutely hope the people who created this product are roundly applauded and
rewarded for the scope of their vision --- and the meticulous execution of that vision. Well done!

As a recent newcomer
to Houston, I want to reiterate my commendation for the HAR website.
I use the website on a weekly basis and find it to be a valuable
resource in our quest to purchase a home in Houston. When we first
moved to Houston, we needed to find a school for our two children,
we were able to do so using the website. We then wanted to locate
a neighborhood and we were able to do so on the website. We now
are looking for a home using the website and find it very beneficial
to view a home and the homes in the same vicinity with just one
click. In my profession, moving is a way of life. Your website
makes life easier. Thank you!

It was great. The part I loved best is when she signed me up with my profile
and I would get e-mails with the various houses in my range. I loved getting those and the fact that you can view inside the home.
That saved me and the Realtor a ton of time because there were a lot I did not care for after reviewing the pictures. GREAT TOOL.
I also loved being able to e-mail others showing them what I was looking at. Several friends in other cities/states said
they were not aware something like that was available and to their knowledge did not have such a local web site. Is HAR thinking
about expanding into other cities?

HAR helped us get our house sold almost immediately! We put our house on the market on a Friday evening and by early afternoon
the NEXT DAY we had an offer from a couple who had been looking at HAR. com for the prevoius 3 months and had been waiting for
the "right" home. Our house was sold in less than 24 hours thanks to HAR.

I have been using HAR.com off and on for many years. It is an easy-to-use site with a great search engine!
One piece is missing, though. When searching single family homes it would be so helpful to be able to include criteria for the lot size. This would be particularly helpful for example, inside the loop where many lots are now being split. technically these are single family homes, but they have a more townhome or gardenhome feel. It would be so nice to be able to exclude or include properties within certain square foot lot size ranges.

Yes, the quick call back is a very nice feature and impressed me. With what I do I have a special interest in seeing applications that work and add real value. I recently moved here from Los Angeles and must say the HAR.com site is the best site real estate I have ever seen.

I wanted to let you know how useful the HAR website was in narrowing down my home search. My job was relocated, and we made the decision to move to Houston. I started to search websites for houses. While searching the Houston real estate websites I found your website www.har.com. It was easy to find and very easy to use. I was pleased to find your website has expanded search criteria far beyond any other site I visited. With the help of the HAR website and our experienced realtor, we have found exactly what we are looking for. I can't thank you enough.
