SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Top Agent Network, Inc.

Top Agent Network CEO/Founder David Faudman says of the new arrangement, "I have great respect for Alexander as a true real estate entrepreneur. We are excited to bring his insight and expertise into Top Agent Network."

Mr. Clark, currently a real estate agent at Paragon Real Estate Group and an active member of Top Agent Network's San Francisco chapter, founded PocketListings.net in 2010. While switching his brokerage affiliation, Mr. Clark became acutely aware of how fragmented non-MLS networking was between brokerages. To help solve this problem, he started PocketListings.net, a brokerage independent non-MLS listing exchange service.

As a top-producing broker in Marin County, California, David Faudman had recognized similar needs in his own real estate sales business. He developed Top Agent Network in the mid-1990s, originally as a simple email list-serve for local high producing agents, then as the online application in 2009. Top Agent Network allows members to exchange pre-MLS and non-MLS information across all brokerages. This exchange includes: Listings, Buyer Needs, Service Provider Recommendations and Industry Discussion.

"Restricting membership to verified high-ranking professionals makes for a highly trusted, productive online exchange," notes Mr. Faudman. "Our members use TAN enthusiastically in the markets we have launched so far." Top Agent Network currently has 30 chapters nationwide and has attracted a broad roster of some of the highest producing agents throughout the country.

"That's what interested me in joining TAN," said Mr. Clark. "Technologically, the real estate industry is a step or two behind. But TAN members here in San Francisco use Top Agent Network religiously. TAN is a cutting edge real estate company that is changing the way top agents conduct their business. I am excited to bring my knowledge and experience to Top Agent Network."

Top Agent Network is a paid membership available to qualified top producers in local chapters by invitation only. For more information, view TopAgentNetwork.com or contact Membership Director Suzanne Crawford at Email.
