VARealtor.com Launches, NFi Studios molds the partnership with REALTOR Associations

Orlando, FL (February 23, 2010)  - NFi Studios is pleased to announce the launch of the Virginia Association of REALTORS new website & online community on VARealtor.com.   The launch took place this last week during the 2010 Legislative Conference in Richmond, where members got their first experience with the new site, and filled out their community profile to start networking.

Based on the due diligence of the prolific Ben Martin, VAR did their research on innovative companies that could take the goals and ideas of the VAR staff and create a reality to them. Scott Brunner, CAE, Chief Executive Officer of VAR summed it up, 

Our team evaluated every major online community vendor in the association space, and NFi’s RealWeb product was hands-down the best option for us.  The biggest benefit of selecting RealWeb is that we leverage NFi’s tremendous experience integrating back office databases with the most cutting-edge online social networking features.  They have thought of everything so we don’t have to.

With the RealWeb platform, VAR along with other REALTOR associations are able to enhance association benefits and empower members to succeed. The website component allows association staff to easily migrate content from their old site in a matter of minutes, and have the flexibility to update on a daily basis.  The valuable features create an engaging user experience, while the Platform holds the power of integrating databases and supporting open architecture.  The third component is pulling it all together to create the Network. Members using RealWeb will have access to a wide network of association resources, from within VAR and horizontally across other REALTOR® associations.

We are honored to be working with Virginia Association of REALTORS. Their organization is comprised of some of the most innovative thought-leaders in the association industry. Complemented by their extraordinary culture, the team at VAR brings a refreshing approach to servicing their membership, Sterling Raphael, President/CEO of NFi Studios.
