The best vacation rental system just got even better! The CHRIS online rentals system now interfaces seemlessly with the Magnolia Software rentals accounting system. Magnolia Software has a long-standing reputation for being the best in vacation rentals accounting software. Now your real estate business can have the best of all  worlds for your rentals business:

• User friendly, real-time online search system for your customers
• Real-time, online reporting of bookings for muliple realtors
• Online management of your rentals from anywhere
• Seemless interface with a complete, feature-rich in-house accounting system for convenience and security!

No special software required to access and use CHRIS. The entire system runs on any Internet-ready PC running either Netscape 4.7 or later, or MS Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Now you can run CHRIS from the office, at home, or on the road- anytime, anywhere. You can even run the system on someone else's PC at their location!

- The system is cost-effective. One flat monthly rate allows agents unlimited access to add, update, search and run reports on vacation rental listings as often as you wish.

- The system is powerful. CHRIS is run on Microsoft's most powerful database- SQL Server, running on HAL Systems' own Internet server. This dynamic and powerful database allows agents and customers to be able to perform listing searches based on price, location, availability, features, and amenities. CHRIS will find just what the customer wants- fast and easy. Reports based on various criteria are built right into the system.

- CHRIS runs in real time. Any changes in any listings are updated instantly! If a listing has just been taken, your agents know immediately. Whether it's a new listing from another realtor, a change in the listing information, or a week has just been taken, agents AND customers see the changes immediately. (Customers will only see your listings when they are at your web site- the system's "front-end").

- CHRIS helps you book listings. The agents AND customers can view any or all or YOUR vacation rental listings. Now the agent can discuss the rental with the customer while he/she is on the phone, and they can see what you are recommending.

- CHRIS includes multi-realtor network reporting. Owners often list their rental properties with several realtors. This has traditionally caused many problems with the realtors having to continually contact the other realtors to inform them of when listings has been taken, and to check to see the current status of shared listings. The CHRIS system allows all realtors sharing a listing the ability to instantly view the current real-time booking status of that listing!

- CHRIS is secure. Running the system on Microsoft's Windows NT Server allows for excellent security for the system. Logons and passwords are supplied to each agent and office. No agent can change any listing that belongs to another. There are also administrative logons for the office manager to allow them to add/delete agents from the system and control other functions.

- CHRIS is fast. The system runs on our high speed Internet server which is connected to a T1 telecom line. This means that many people can access the system simultaneously.

- CHRIS eliminates the wait for listings to be posted. With a digital camera, it's fast and easy to take the picture of the property and upload it to the system. You control how to present the listing to your customers. Digital photos are easy and fun to touch up to make your listing look great!

- CHRIS is versatile and expandable. CHRIS is designed to meet the needs of realtors today and for years to come. Whether you need custom reports for your application or would like special features to help boost your vacation rental business, CHRIS works for you!

CHRIS is affordable. Our low monthly fee includes hosting or your realty's web site and email accounts! Pricing on CHRIS is as follows (does not include the Magnolia accounting software):
