CMGI @Ventures Introduces domania.com - America's First-Stop for Real Estate Information and Learning

BOSTON, April 11, 2000 - Domania.com, a CMGI @Ventures investment formerly known as INPHO/HomePriceCheck, launches today, putting American home buyers, sellers and owners in control of their single largest assets - their homes. Domania.com saves consumers time and money by providing vital tools and information to all types of home transactors-from those buying their second and third homes to frightened newcomers.

As an independent site, Domania.com is the first-stop resource guide for smart home owners, buyers and sellers. The site offers a new release of the already-popular Internet tool Home Price Check (a tool that provides records of actual home sales prices), Value Check (a tool that estimates home values based on historic trends), and Property Tax Tools (providing property tax estimates, rates and more). In addition, Domania.com boasts its very own columnist - The Domaniac-who promises to bring a sense of humor to the real estate process.

Domania educates consumers by providing information that is relevant to their unique real estate experience. My Domania archives users' searches and tracks the equity of their homes. DomaniaGrams, a personalized e-mail service, delivers recent neighborhood sales and real estate market information, news and offers.

"We found that no real estate site out there empowered consumers," said Domania.com President Steven Kropper. "Our goal is to be the agent of real estate education and research for American consumers. Years of experience working with real estate professionals and lenders strongly suggest that all parties benefit when the home buyers and sellers come to the process with a better understanding of the market."

"Domania teaches the reality that homes are assets, and like all assets, investors must take an active role in their management," Kropper added. "Domania's solution is to give consumers a free destination that becomes that management tool."

"Domania has taken their popular Home Price Check service and supercharged it. They are now well-positioned to emerge as a dominant source of information in the consumer real estate space," said Guy Bradley, general partner, CMGI @Ventures. "Given consumer appetite for self-directed learning, Domania is positioned for success."
