MRIS to Deliver Real Time System Alerts to Customers

Rockville, MD – September 12, 2011 – Mid-Atlantic real estate professionals can now receive real time updates on the status of the local multiple listing service (MLS) thanks to the new MRIS Text Alerts. Launched today, MRIS Text Alerts keeps MRIS customers informed on system information and enhancement schedules.

MRIS is the leading real estate technology company and the Mid-Atlantic MLS facilitating $100 million in real estate sales a day. As a technology company, MRIS embraces new ways to get in touch with customers faster than ever before.

“MRIS is real estate in real time,” says MRIS Marketing and Communications Director, Marie Still. “We stand behind that brand promise in everything we do, from the products we deliver to our customer communication programs.

MRIS Text Alerts keep real estate professionals informed about planned maintenance announcements as well as temporary system interruptions without having to open an email or check a message board.

Getting key system updates by text is a great resource to keep us effective and efficient.”
