LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 21, 2005 -- RealtyTrac (http://www.realtytrac.com), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, today announced the launch of the RealtyTrac(R) Asset Management System (RAMS) -- the most efficient way for asset managers and real estate agents to post, market, manage and sell real estate properties. It is available as an on-demand service or as licensed software. RealtyTrac is the fastest-growing real estate site online with nearly two million unique monthly visitors, and is the exclusive foreclosure data provider to AOL Real Estate, MSN House & Home, Yahoo! Real Estate and HomeGain.

As real estate prices flatten, interest rates rise and default rates climb, the industry is beginning to see an increasing inventory of pre-foreclosure, foreclosure and REO properties. Traditional proprietary asset management systems have been expensive to purchase and complicated to implement. As a result, many mortgage companies have been unable to deploy these proprietary systems, while others have held out for a more cost-effective solution. With the growing number of properties to manage and market, mortgage servicers are beginning to scramble for a solution.

"We set out to create a low-cost, end-to-end, scalable solution with a comprehensive suite of asset management, marketing and offer management tools," said James Saccacio, RealtyTrac Chief Executive Officer. "And our customers get something that no other software company can offer: guaranteed placement for their properties on RealtyTrac, one of the top five real estate sites online."

RealtyTrac Asset Management System

The RealtyTrac Asset Management System (RAMS) is an end-to-end solution that enables asset managers and agents to work together seamlessly, and expose foreclosure properties to the largest, most active audience online. Agents can post properties, proactively market them, and take offers from pre-qualified buyers, while asset managers benefit from the easy tracking and management of properties to assign agents, calculate ROI, initiate and monitor tasks, run reports, and manage every step of the real estate sales process.

RAMS is integrated into both RealtyTrac and its REO property-focused website, Bank Homes Direct (http://www.bankhomesdirect.com), enabling asset managers to proactively market properties to nearly 2 million monthly unique visitors, and allowing online offers to be made, countered and accepted.

RAMS is based on a proven software product that's been used by successful asset management companies for over ten years. RealtyTrac's new version is built on the Microsoft .NET platform, and is easily integrated into most existing IT networks. The software is available as a hosted web service or via traditional licensing.

Key features include:

* Complete property management -- Property tracking, task queue and reporting features make it easy to manage inventory and activity
