Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® Selects Coalmarch Productions As Featured Exhibitor

Cary, N.C. October 16, 2007 — The Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors (RRAR) has selected Coalmarch Productions as one of four select exhibitors at its largest membership meeting to be held October 17, 2007. Coalmarch was selected by the Association as a result of its cutting edge, virtual tour technology.

Recent statistics show that virtual tours have become one of the most important tools for selling a house. The average online listing with a virtual tour receives 40% more views than listings without tours.

The standard virtual tour offered today is limited in scope due to several key problems:

• A lack of true 3D functionality to let the customer view a room not just horizontally, but also vertically;

• Distortion caused by fish-eye lenses and parabolic mirrors that make straight counters and walls look curved;

• “Zooming” that does not address resolution and results in blurred images; and,

• Low resolution formatting that does not take advantage of a computer monitor’s true on-screen capability.

Coalmarch Productions provides the only virtual tours in the Triangle area that feature true panoramic, Hi-Definition, 3D viewing capabilities:

• Coalmarch’s virtual tours are free of distortion and unmatched in clarity and crispness.

• The viewer of these tours is in complete control of their experience and can scroll through each room utilizing our unique 360-degree technology.

• A customer can actually see a distortion free, three-dimensional, high resolution tour that not only lets them enjoy the space created by a property’s vaulted ceiling or follow the path of a circular stairway leading to a gallery, but zoom in with such clarity that he or she feels as if they can touch the flooring and wallpaper.

As an added benefit, Coalmarch’s virtual tours can be customized to match a REALTOR’S® specific Web site and applied to multiple online marketing opportunities.

“We are honored to be selected to present our virtual tour technology to the Triangle’s REALTORS®,” states Jake St. Peter, President of Coalmarch Productions. “This technology is based on the models currently used in Europe and it’s exciting to be able to offer it to the Triangle.”

Caroline Pierce, Member Services Assistant for RRAR, comments, “We are thrilled about this premiere speaker event and greatly looking forward to working with our vendors. Coalmarch Productions is a great addition and resource for our REALTOR® community.”

About Coalmarch Productions: The Triangle Business Journal recently designated Coalmarch Productions as a leading Internet marketing, design, and software development firm. We have utilized our in-house graphic design and programming team to take a vital segment of Real Estate marketing—the virtual tour—to an entirely new level. Coalmarch Productions provides a complete range of new and traditional media solutions including Web site development, graphic design, content management systems, SEO, SEM, IT services, advertising, public relations, and e-commerce.

Jake St. Peter, co-owner of Coalmarch Productions, stated “We are honored to have taken James Scott Farrin’s Web site to the next level. With business increasingly dependent on the Internet for marketing solutions, Coalmarch Productions is proud to have made a real difference.”
