John L. Scott Real Estate Chairman and CEO, J. Lennox Scott, announced the company’s purchase of Real Tech LLC, a web-based technology solutions company. 

Real Tech has been John L. Scott’s technology partner collectively for five years and has been responsible for providing the development behind some of John L. Scott’s most notable web-related achievements, including the launch of Microsoft Virtual Earth, Neighborhood Wizard with Microsoft’s polygon drawing tool, and the integration of comparable sold home information with Microsoft’s interactive mapping system. 

Real Tech’s nine team members will now operate within John L. Scott’s marketing and eStrategies department which is headed by Pat Giles, Vice President of Marketing and eStrategies.

Interestingly, Real Tech is also the website vendor for Coldwell Banker Bain in the Seattle area.  No word on whether CBBain is a co-owner or not, and if not, what impact it will have on the CBBain website.  Haven't heard anything from CBBain agents so it probably won't have much of an effect.
