Today iHOUSE Web Solutions™, a division of CIS Data Systems™, Inc., announced the approval of iHOUSE ConnecTel, a toll-free property hotline service for the RE/MAX International Approved Supplier Program. In addition, RE/MAX has approved including iHOUSE's LocalNet Web Registration Service as an advanced feature of the iHOUSE Website Program, which has been an Approved Supplier since 2005.

"The RE/MAX Approved Supplier Program is comprised of the most elite group of vendors in the industry," says Sarah Blankman, Account Executive, Supplier Programs at RE/MAX International. "We looked at a number of both toll-free hotline and online directory listing services and selected a very small percent of the applicants. ConnecTel was chosen because our affiliates recommended iHOUSE products and services. We found them to be unparalleled in ease of use, practical pricing, and quality of service. iHOUSE has been a pioneer in providing many other forms of real estate marketing solutions, and we are proud to offer their services to our Affiliates."

ConnecTel offers real estate agents the ability to give prospective buyers 24/7 access to listing details over the phone via a pre-recorded toll-free hotline while simultaneously capturing each caller's contact information. It also allows real estate agents to be instantly notified when a call is made. ConnecTel is currently being offered at a competitive price point compared to other, similar services.
