NEW YORK, July 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reis, Inc. (Nasdaq:REIS) ("Reis" or the "Company"), a leading provider of commercial real estate market information and analytical tools, today announced the completion of the systematic release of Reis Subscriber Edition 2.0 across its subscriber base. Reis SE 2.0 is a major upgrade of the Company's industry leading flagship product. The significant enhancements solidify Reis SE 2.0 as the must-have utility for any bank, investment firm, government institution, or broker that is engaged in commercial real estate activity in the United States, deepening Reis's entrenchment among its base of renewable clients, and strengthening its appeal among prospects. Reis SE 2.0 is the centerpiece of the Company's 2012 and long-term growth strategy—it bolsters Reis's ability to provide unparalleled service to the hundreds of thousands of professionals engaged in U.S. commercial real estate.
"In Reis SE 2.0 we have added a host of features requested by our clients," said Reis's Chief Operating Officer, Bill Sander. "For example, we are now presenting all three property comparables—rent, sales, and new construction—on a single map interface and within a single report. By typing in a single address, an executive or an analyst can get a complete picture of the local competitive landscape. Users never have to re-key property addresses and they receive email alerts when we update local market information or discover nearby sales and construction activity."
Other key features of the new release include fully customizable report contents, the ability to upload a corporate logo or picture for private labeling purposes, saved report templates and searches, and easy map-based navigation in up to 200 markets and over 6,300 market segments among the five property types that Reis currently covers.
Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Lynford sees the release as a continuation of the Company's consistent track record of product enhancements. "We have long been determined to ensure that our clients are the best informed parties at any negotiating table, or when making any investment decision," Mr. Lynford said. "Since the introduction of Reis SE in 2001, we have consistently increased our geographic and property type coverage and added sales transactions, cap rate trending data and discounted cash flow functionality to our already impressive roster of market and submarket reports. Reis SE 2.0 wraps all of this indispensable information in an impressive, easy-to-use, interface with industry-leading functionality."
