Gig Harbor, WA (June 14, 2010) - ePropertyData, the commercial MLS and information exchange solutions provider owned by the National Association of
REALTORS® (NAR), has been selected as the Multiple Listing Service provider for the Commercial Alliance of Realtors®.
CAR membership currently covers an eight-county region in West Michigan (Calhoun, Ingham, Ionia, Kalamazoo, Kent, Muskegon, Ottawa, and Van Buren) and
continues to expand.
Members of CAR now have a property centric technology platform with resources and tools to enhance their commercial practice in the West Michigan
market. "The cooperation and collaboration that West Michigan commercial practitioners value is highlighted in this exclusively commercial multiple
listing service. www.carwm.com is the source for the most complete and accurate inventory of available
commercial properties in this area ," said Shari Veldman, executive vice president, Commercial Alliance of Realtors.
With the new MLS, members of CAR automatically gain additional marketing of their properties on CommercialSource.com, the national commercial real
estate listing platform and marketplace hosted by the NAR and powered by ePropertyData. This extra exposure comes with REALTORS only having to list
their properties once in their MLS, as ePD distributes to CommercialSource, Realtor.com and other websites.

for the commercial real estate industry," said Connie Capone, CEO of ePropertyData. ePropertyData is the leader in commercial MLS and information
exchange technology with an in-depth knowledge of the industry coupled with a wide range of products that power the commercial real estate marketplace.
