Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement amends and restates in its entirety the Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D) filed
by the Reporting Person on August 16, 2006 and is filed in connection with the common stock, par
value $.02 per share (the Common Shares), of Reis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Company),
with its principal executive offices at 535 Madison Avenue, 26th floor, New York, NY
10022. Prior to May 31, 2007, the Company was named Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. On October
11, 2006, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) was entered into by Wellsford
Real Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (Wellsford), Reis, Inc. (Old Reis), a Delaware
corporation, and Reis Services, LLC (Reis Services), a Maryland limited liability company. On
May 30, 2007, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Old Reis was merged
with and into Reis Services (the Merger), with Reis Services surviving the Merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Wellsford. On June 1, 2007, Wellsford changed its name to Reis, Inc.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(a) The statement is filed by Mr. Jeffrey H. Lynford (the Reporting Person).

proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, the Reporting Person was not a party to a civil proceeding of
a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was
or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.
(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States of America and a resident of New
York.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Until May 21, 2007, the Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 1,111,642 Common Shares,
including shares issuable upon the exercise of options. On May 21, 2007, he exercised 17,312
options to purchase Common Shares at $5.81 per share.
Prior to the closing date of the Merger on May 30, 2007, the Reporting Person owned 285,178
shares of common stock of Old Reis, par value $0.01 per share (Old Reis Common Stock) and 33
shares of Series D preferred stock of Old Reis, par value $0.01 per share (Old Reis Series D
Preferred Stock). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, holders of Old
Reis Common Stock were entitled to receive either one Common Share or $8.16 in cash, and holders of
Old Reis Series D Preferred Stock were entitled to receive either 31.06 Common Shares or $253.42 in
cash; provided, however, that the aggregate consideration paid to stockholders of Old Reis in the
Merger was to be comprised of 50% cash and 50% stock. As part of the
total consideration paid to him in the Merger as a stockholder of Old Reis, the Reporting Person
received 143,117 Common Shares of the Company, 17,979 of which are being held in escrow pursuant to
the terms of the Merger Agreement.
On June 6, 2007, the Reporting Person elected to exercise options to purchase 891,949 Common
Shares, at an exercise price of $5.81 per share, in three separate transactions. In the first part
of the first transaction, the Reporting Person exercised options to acquire 134,221 Common Shares;
in the second part of the first transaction, the Reporting Person exercised options to acquire
158,190 Common Shares; in the second transaction, the Reporting Person exercised options to acquire
420,091 Common Shares; and in the third transaction, the Reporting Person exercised options to
acquire 179,447 Common Shares. In satisfaction of the exercise prices, the Reporting Person
constructively tendered 73,086, 86,137, 228,747 and 97,712 Common Shares he previously held in
transactions one through three, respectively. In addition, the Reporting Person made an election
to have the Company withhold a total of 194,197 Common Shares otherwise issuable to him to satisfy
his tax obligations resulting from the three transactions. The net result of the above described
transactions was the increase in the Reporting Persons holdings of Common Shares in the amount of
212,070 Common Shares. Finally, the Reporting Persons exercised options granted him the right to
receive additional options (Reload Options) for the Common Shares he tendered to pay the exercise
price, resulting in his receipt of Reload Options to acquire 243,931 Common Shares at an exercise
price of $10.67 per Common Share and expire December 31, 2007.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
See Item 3 above.

paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13(d). However, the Reporting Person reserves
the right to adopt such plans or proposals in the future.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 637,068 Common Shares (the
Reported Shares), or 5.7% of the 11,228,448 Common Shares issued and outstanding on June 7, 2007,

Keogh account, (iii) 310 Common Shares in his 401(k) account, (iv) 389,273 Common Shares owned
directly. Although all of the foregoing options have vested, the Reporting person has no right to
vote the Common Shares underlying these options until he exercises such options and acquires such
shares.
The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership, and this of (i) 163,787 Common Shares
held in a non-qualified deferred compensation trust with respect to which the Reporting Person has
neither voting or dispositive power until such shares are distributed from the deferred
compensation account, and (ii) 17,956 Common Shares held by the Lynford Family Charitable Trust,
with respect to which the Reporting Person has neither voting or dispositive power.
(b) The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of all of the Reported
