NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwired - May 5, 2014) - RSI Homes^sm, a company that has redefined homebuilding through its Precision-Built^sm construction process, announced the launch of its Accredited Real Estate Agent (AREA) Program and the selection of its first two agents. These qualified residential real estate agents have been engaged by RSI Homes to locate properties in key geographic markets where the company is interested in buying older and/or dilapidated homes and replacing it with a new RSI home.

"RSI Homes spent a considerable amount of time searching for real estate agents who are mavericks in the industry and leaders in the markets they serve," said Peter Boutros, president and COO of RSI Homes. "Entrusting these agents with this opportunity is pivotal at this time as we continue to actively build throughout Orange County and now the San Fernando Valley. Their efforts will allow RSI Homes to further demonstrate its innovative construction process which allows for a brand new home to be built in 45 calendar days or less from the start of vertical construction."

Through RSI's Program, AREA representatives will identify older, dilapidated properties throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties suitable for RSI Homes to purchase and replace with a brand new, high-quality energy efficient home. In addition, these agents will promote proprietary programs which will transform the home-buying and selling process.

Real estate agents will represent RSI Homes in key geographic markets where the company actively builds including: Orange and Los Angeles counties. The company envisions that these agents will become an integrated part of RSI's model for expansion throughout Southern California and nationwide.

"While we continue our search for agents that embody the vision and passion for representing RSI Homes in regions where we actively build, we are pleased to announce the appointment of our first two agents," Boutros said. "Both are highly dynamic real estate professionals with an impressive track-record of success and understanding of the markets they serve."
