Terabitz said today that the company has signed a deal under which FrontDoor.com, a real estate Web site, will adopt two of Terabitz’s products.

 

“FrontDoor delivers an experience that is richer and more compelling than that found on any other site in the real estate category, and we’re proud to be part of it,” said Ashfaq Munshi, chief executive officer at Terabitz. “We believe online real estate is much more than just home search, it’s about finding a place to live, and FrontDoor gets that. This relationship means our content and tools and will reach millions of new users, and that’s a great thing for Terabitz. But the real winners here are the consumers seeking places to live and the real estate agents and brokers who have partnered with FrontDoor to make those aspirations a reality.”

 

The agreement deals mainly with two of the products supplied by Terabitz, company officials say.

 

The first one is a beta application that has been developed by Terabitz for the iPhone (News - Alert). The iPhone-compatible application provides search functionality for iPhone users. The search can be based upon numerous factors, according to the company.

 

The second application is the Neighborhood Explorer, an application designed to supply a user with data relevant to particular surrounding. The data is comprehensive and current, and it is presented in a user-friendly interface, officials say. The information given out includes data about ATM machines, or banks in the vicinity. Important places like schools, places of worship as well as hospitals are detailed well in this application.

 

Terabitz is a technology provider whose products are mainly meant for real estate firms, according to the company. Their solutions are aimed facilitating the property purchase process for people online, company officials say. FrontDoor.com is a site dealing with real estate related information, including listings, videos and a varied assortment of tools and content.

 

“FrontDoor exists to give people deep home-related content when and how they want it, and the Terabitz Neighborhood Explorer and iPhone application fit the bill,” said Vikki Neil, vice president of real estate, Scripps Networks, FrontDoor.com’s parent company. “Our users with iPhones can now take the FrontDoor experience with them wherever they go, and every listing on the site is now placed in a context of comprehensive neighborhood information.”
