         information and services on the Net, and in a matter of days
         secured several million dollars worth in financing from
         investors around the country to personally acquire and revamp
         REALTOR.com(R), the official site of the NAR. Today Wolff has
         grown Homestore.com(TM) into the Internet's leading network
         of real estate sites. Wolff is a founding member of TechNet
         LA, a network of CEOs and senior executives from Southern
         California's leading high-tech, entertainment, financial and
