520			_aFollowing several missed launch dates, the troubled property investment data exchange Propex is being partly taken over by PrimePitch.com, the online investment marketing service. Article discusses the rationale behind PrimePitch's investment, and suggests that the services are complementary with PrimePitch aimed at the private investor and Propex aimed at the institutional market. Argues that Propex is not trying to eliminate the agent's role, but is designed to facilitate information exchange and requires participation from agents to succeed. Concludes that Propex will still have a hard time ahead, especially with other websites entering the investment market. Includes business models for PrimePitch and Propex. Charts.
