    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, and OAK BROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2005--TOP PRODUCER(R) Systems today announced the release of two new versions of its TOP PRODUCER 7i sales productivity system designed specifically for GMAC Real Estate sales associates, as well as brokers and office managers.

These materials, which are available to all brokers system-wide, include large libraries of follow-up letters and emails that highlight the benefits of working with GMAC Real Estate; address different aspects of the recruitment process; provide encouragement to existing associates; and recognize and reward top producers.
    "We are proud to offer our network of sales associates and brokers their own powerful productivity system," said Rick Gregory, senior vice president of GMAC Home Services, parent company of GMAC Real Estate. "With TOP PRODUCER, our associates and brokers have access to custom GMAC Real Estate marketing content that reinforces their brands and images in their local markets."
