Meanwhile, a la mode has announced several product updates that will tie its products together in a more collaborative fashion.For example, the company offers three website products -- AppraiserXSites for appraisers, MortgageXSites for mortgage brokers, and Agent XSites for real estate agents -- that will now be able to talk to each other more effectively and to push relevant data to mobile products that appraisers use in the field and to aurora, the a la mode appraiser desktop system. This integration will enable real estate agents to share listings and communicate more directly with brokers during the mortgage process, the company said at its first annual Appraiser Convention in Las Vegas. Brokers will also be able to market themselves to both real estate agents and appraisers to get more business. In addition, new listing styles have been added to make the websites easier to read and more user friendly, the company said.
