HawaiiLife.com property search software for sale
HawaiiLife.com began developing its real estate search software (named fastREsearch) back in the summer of 2004. I’m almost ashamed to tell anyone how much time and money we have invested in fastREsearch, but the good news is that you can now purchase the same software that powers HawaiiLife.com for your agent or broker website. And more importantly, it can all be yours at a fraction of our development cost.
We are offering 2 versions of the software (basic and star) in an Agent and Broker package. The fastREsearch software is available nationwide and we will have our real estate software website launched later this month.
If you aren’t familiar with fastREsearch, take a spin over at HawaiiLife.com. I think you will find that the property search is better than anything you can buy on the market currently. Also, our pricing is very competitive for any other map based real estate website. If you have any questions about the pricing below, you can contact us at re@hawaiilife.com.

- Integrating the property search to work with your current site.
- Simple design integration of the current look of your website.

- Fixing errors or bugs that arise.
- Updating the database when changes are made on the Honolulu Board of Realtors side.
- New upgrades as we are constantly working to improve the software that runs the search on your website.

Running all the searches from our central database will be better for 99% of customers.
Unless you already spend hundreds of dollars every month on your server it is unlikely that it can deliver the property information at the highest speed possible.
And speed is one factor that makes this software user-friendly.

Yes, I agree, running fastREsearch from our server will be much faster than running the software from a standard server. I do highly recommend hosting the solution with us (which is why we include hosting in the monthly plan).
However, the choice is yours.
