Real estate listings score Yellow Pages content

DonationChannel Inc. and InfoUSA Inc. today announced the addition of InfoUSA’s Yellow Pages content to the Enhanced RealBird Aerial Maps Viewer, a personalized GIS (Geographical Information Systems) tool for real estate agents.

The Enhanced RealBird Viewer includes manual linking to property listings, embedded schools database with automatic Google links to school information, embedded USGS landmarks database and full-color aerial maps.

“Having yellow pages capability in our Enhanced Viewer takes its usefulness for home buyers one step further” said Gabriel Gross, president of DonationChannel Inc. “When you are looking for a home, it is of course very useful to get a feel for the neighborhood and what commerce facilities are available in the vicinity.”

Also part of the agreement is an affiliation allowing DonationChannel to resell InfoUSA sales leads lists to its Realbird member agents.

RealBird was created by DonationChannel in mid-February as a way to link up real estate agents and home-buying parents of school-aged children, said Gabriel Gross, founder of DonationChannel. DonationChannel, a Redwood City, Calif.-based company founded in May 2003, solicits charitable donations for elementary schools.
