MiRealSource and Moby® form alliance to promote safety for real estate professionals

VANCOUVER, BC — June 9, 2011 — MiRealSource, Michigan’s largest broker-owned MLS, has become the latest real estate organization to join the Moby community to promote personal safety to its members. The endorsement of Moby’s personal safety app by MiRealSource is another indication of the desire by the leading industry service providers to examine smartphone technologies to enhance the productivity and security of real estate professionals.

“Despite the recent tragic incidents in Ohio and Iowa, safety has always been a concern our organization has strived to address for our members,” says David DeRees, CEO of MiRealSource. “Traditional classroom training is certainly effective, but the time required may not always work for our members. Moby is a tool we can put in their hands right away to ensure they are thinking proactively about their safety and security.”

Moby was designed for the needs of real estate professionals, whether hosting open houses, visiting vacant properties, or just working late at night. A free app for BlackBerry® and iPhone® smartphones , Moby alerts a user’s chosen contacts via email and text with a request for assistance, and provides an interactive map to the user’s location. Alerts can be triggered by a single button, or set-up in advance using the Check-in and Tracking features.

Alerts can be monitored 24x7 by Moby’s security monitoring center for a small monthly fee. Moby can even be used to privately and securely share a user’s location with chosen colleagues or friends for additional peace of mind.

“Although there is no perfect solution to the safety problem for real estate agents, there are small steps we all can take when working in unfamiliar environments,” says Conal Campbell, Director of Alliances for Moby. “Having the power to let your key contacts know where you are, even when you are unable to get to your phone, not only creates a powerful network of guardians, but also eases the worries of those that care about you.”

Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, MiRealSource and its 7,000 members can download Moby for free from
BlackBerry App WorldTM, iPhone App Store, and the Moby website (www.mymoby.com/get), with pre-registration available for Android here: www.mymoby.com/product/android.
