Ms. Spiegelman said the site has wireless applications that allow access to sales information on cell phones and personal digital assistants such as a Palm Pilot.

Patients can use the portal for inquiries and information about coverage and benefits.
The web portal is expected to be available to physicians this year. Meanwhile, say publicists, Reelestates is expanding operations to 30 cities nationwide.
