Zurple Launches Pipeline Boost: A Social Media Leads Product Offering Real Estate Agents Quick, Steady Growth
Its second product release in two months, Zurple's Pipeline Boost provides timely support for the many real estate professionals in need of a budget-friendly way to get more clients with a steady flow of home buyer leads. HUNT VALLEY, Md., Sept. 5, 2023 -- Zurple, a forward-thinking mainstay in the real estate software industry, today announced the launch of Pipeline Boost, its latest social media leads product. Using targeted Facebook and Instagram ads featuring MLS listings to capture interested prospects, Pipeline Boost connects real estate agents with a high volume of exclusive home buyer leads in their local market each month. Zurple's team of advertising experts work on the agents' behalf to launch, manage, and optimize ad campaigns using Meta's advertising platform. By targeting consumers who have recently searched for real estate listings, Pipeline Boost customers will connect with qualified, motivated prospects who are in the preliminary stages of their home search. Every Pipeline Boost lead is exclusive; they are delivered to a single Pipeline Boost customer rather than being shared with multiple agents. With the combined benefits of done-for-you advertising and automated client generation, Pipeline Boost maximizes return on investment by enabling real estate professionals to achieve quick and steady growth with a high volume of leads, all while saving time and keeping costs to an affordable minimum. Additionally, Zurple's automation platform further enhances Pipeline Boost customers' lead-to-client conversion potential. As the lead expresses genuine interest in moving forward with the home-buying process, Zurple's automated, intelligent system works like a personal assistant that monitors lead activity and sends tailored, timely property updates and email and SMS messages to spark conversations. When a lead makes an inquiry that requires personalized attention, the agent is notified and provided with the lead's accurate contact information as collected via the lead-capture form. Thus, the system works on the agent's behalf to provide prime opportunities for generating not only more leads but also more clients. "We're thrilled to announce the release of Pipeline Boost," said Kerm Foltz, Zurple's Vice President of Revenue Operations. "Since the start, we've been committed to using automated lead nurture technology to help real estate agents build authentic relationships with ready-to-engage leads. We're able to deliver on that promise now more than ever by offering a solution that both drives growth during today's low-inventory market and is priced accessibly for the many agents who are currently facing serious budget constraints." Zurple has been recognized industry-wide for combining lead insights with behavior-based follow-up to effectively convert leads into real estate clients. Most recently, HousingWire included Zurple on its 2023 "Tech100 List," recognizing Zurple as a business that is "changing the home sales process forever" and "leading the way toward a more innovative and efficient housing market." Following the successful launch in June 2023 of Auto Listings, Zurple's seller client generation solution, Pipeline Boost is now the company's third real estate leads product. With budget-friendly packages starting at $300 for a minimum of 30 exclusive leads per month, it is now available to all new and current customers. Learn more about Pipeline Boost on Zurple.com.

NAR Earns Recognition for its National Ad Campaigns Promoting Fair Housing and the Community Impact of Realtors
WASHINGTON (June 29, 2021) -- In addition to its That's Who We R campaign proving overwhelmingly effective with consumers in differentiating and distinguishing Realtors® as members of the National Association of Realtors® who are guided by a code of ethics, NAR's advertising campaign has taken home a multitude of award wins this year. NAR's fair housing campaign work, entitled The Fight for Fair, sought to share with the public the Association's commitment against all forms of discrimination in housing and actions taken, including strengthening member accountability through its code of ethics, expanding training programs with unconscious bias and scenario simulations, in addition to NAR's already robust advocacy work. The campaign's work puts a stake in the ground and celebrates NAR's commitment to fair housing – a core differentiator of working with a Realtor®. The Fight for Fair won Gold in the real estate category at the Shorty Awards, which honors top content creators and producers on social media. It also won two BrandSmart awards from the American Marketing Association, a Gold for Cause Marketing and the Grand Champion Award, recognizing NAR as having the most outstanding entry among all of the individual category winners. In addition, The Fight for Fair won a Gold Stevie Award for Marketing Campaign of the Year in the real estate category from the American Business Awards, and won Silver from the American Advertising Awards Chicago Chapter. "The widespread recognition that NAR's consumer advertising campaign continues to receive is a testament to the work authentically reflecting our members' tireless work in partnership with their clients and consumers across America," said Victoria Gillespie, NAR's chief marketing and communications officer. "Realtors® abide by a strict code of ethics and fair housing is a key tenet of our code. The Fight for Fair acknowledges the unfortunate reality we continue to face in this country as we strive to ensure the American Dream of property ownership is accessible to everyone." The ad campaign was also recognized for The Battle Home, an exhibition in Kansas City's Union Station that contributed to NAR's larger That's Who We R campaign and branding efforts. In constructing the installation, NAR partnered with Havas Chicago and Veterans Community Project, an organization battling veteran homelessness in Kansas City, Missouri that was co-founded by a member of NAR. Built in the footprint of a tiny home, the unique installation used military colors and special building materials to pay homage to veterans and bring the very real issue of homeless veterans to the forefront. Custom bricks were produced using sleeping bags, and QR codes placed around the structure allowed visitors to watch a series of short videos, which told accounts of 11 homeless veterans' journeys from living on the streets to living in the VCP tiny home village. The Battle Home earned a Bronze Cube from the One Club for Creativity's ADC Annual Awards and a Gold award from the American Advertising Awards District level in the category "Out-of-Home & Ambient — Corporate Social Responsibility." It also claimed two Silver awards from the American Advertising Awards Chicago Chapter for "Out-Of-Home & Ambient — Corporate Social Responsibility" and "Out-Of-Home & Ambient — Single Installation." The National Association of Realtors® is America's largest trade association, representing more than 1.4 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

NAR's "That's Who We R" Advertising Campaign Highlights How Realtors Open Doors to Opportunity for Their Clients and the Communities They Serve
WASHINGTON (February 16, 2021) – The National Association of Realtors unveiled today the newest iteration of its successful "That's Who We R" national branding campaign. Created in partnership with Havas Chicago, the series of television spots emphasize the positive impact Realtors have on their clients and the communities they serve. The campaign advances NAR's advertising strategy to further distinguish Realtors – members of the National Association of Realtors and guided by the association's Code of Ethics – from non-member agents and listing apps. "Realtors® combine trusted expertise and professionalism with a commitment to service to make a difference in their communities," said NAR President Charlie Oppler, a Realtor® from Franklin Lakes, N.J., and the CEO of Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty. "These ads highlight the value Realtors® bring to the transaction and beyond, and show the trusted partnership they have with their clients to make property ownership a reality." In the new spots, doors serve as a framework and catalyst for realistic stories of human partnership that help unlock future possibilities, rooted in property transactions. The new commercials use an exciting visual technique that provides consumers a peek into a future state where clients are seen living their dreams of buying a home or running a business. Consumers will relate to the human relationships between the Realtor® and their clients, and perhaps even recollect their own "a-ha moment" of when they viewed a property and envisioned a better life for themselves, their family or their business. Attention-grabbing visuals work together with breakthrough scripts to reinforce the value Realtors® bring, as well as the lifestyle benefits and emotions that property ownership can unlock. "Through this work, it was crucial to bring human, emotional storytelling to life through the journey that home buyers and small business owners have with their Realtor®," said John Norman, chief creative officer at Havas Chicago. "The insight is cleverly brought on screen through a time trick technique and distinct narratives that help visualize dreams of buying a home or starting a business. It really puts the buyer in the center of the story." The TV campaign will launch both 15- and 30-second versions, with creative extensions into various media touchpoints, including streaming and terrestrial audio, social media and branded content partnerships. In addition to paid media, NAR will once again launch a full suite of new campaign assets for its members and Realtor® associations to leverage locally. The five "That's Who We R" TV spots feature four storylines, including "Family," "Game Night," "Hair Salon" and "Food Bank": Family (30 seconds) Game Night (15 seconds) Hair Salon (15 seconds) Food Bank (30 seconds) Food Bank (15 seconds) Visit ThatsWhoWeR.realtor for more information on NAR's "That's Who We R" national advertising campaign.

Homesnap Launches Homesnap Concierge
Homesnap Concierge, a brand-new product from Homesnap, is a fully managed advertising platform and lead qualification service that delivers better leads at a lower cost than Zillow Premier Agent and realtor.com. What makes Concierge different? Highly trafficked sites like Facebook, Google, and Instagram are ideal for generating large volumes of high-quality leads cost-effectively. The problem is, finding and qualifying those leads is a difficult and labor-intensive process. If you've run campaigns on these sites before, you know the frustrations all too well, and you may have turned to expensive alternatives like Zillow Premier Agent and realtor.com to save yourself time and aggravation. Homesnap set out to solve this problem. After more than a year of research and development, our digital marketing experts worked out the best combination of networks, ad types, designs, and content types to serve hyper-targeted and personalized ads to relevant buyers and sellers. The result is a product that gives agents access to more high-quality leads than Zillow and realtor.com without the hassle — or the premium price tag. With Homesnap Concierge, agents no longer have to choose between their time and their money. How does it work? Each month, our dedicated and experienced Concierge marketing team will optimize and run your advertising campaigns for an unlimited number of listings on Facebook, Google, and Instagram. We'll target the most-likely-to-transact leads on those platforms with hyper-targeted and personalized ads and qualify them for you. Then, we'll send you the qualified, hot leads right away, and continue to nurture the rest until they are ready to convert. You'll have full transparency into the process. We'll share key metrics — number of leads processed, lead contact information, qualification details, all leads acquired, and more — so you can follow us every step of the way. Just watch the leads roll in and get back to what's important: working with your clients. Why Concierge? Highly Qualified Leads Concierge collects hundreds of leads and takes care of the hardest part: separating those who are ready to buy or sell from those who need to be nurtured. We'll send you the qualified leads right away, and continue to nurture the rest. No work on your end. Better and Cheaper Results Zillow's Premier Agent runs in at an average cost of $1,200 a month for a one-year, locked-in contract — a nearly $15,000-a-year commitment. Homesnap Concierge starts at a fraction of the monthly price and requires no long-term contract. Agents can commit to Concierge for as short as one month. Promotes Your Brand First Have you advertised on Zillow or realtor.com only to feel like those companies are primarily interested in promoting their brand, not yours? At Homesnap, that will never be the case. We succeed when agents succeed, and all your advertisements will feature you — and only you. Access to a best-in-class lead qualification team, digital marketing experts and machine learning Homesnap's digital marketing experts run thousands of campaigns at any given time, and they are constantly iterating on what works and what does not. Concierge gives agents access to this experienced, best-in-class marketing team, and campaigns are managed by real humans who are experts in the digital advertising space. Additionally, our digital marketing experts are supported by our in-house machine learning algorithms, built upon thousands of real estate industry data points. Using this technology, actual artificial intelligence, we look for signals — signs that a buyer or seller is ready to transact — that a human being might miss. Fully Managed Campaigns for Unlimited Listings Concierge gives agents all the benefits of professionally tested advertising techniques, customization, and automation, so they never have to worry about tedium or timing again — all that's required is a two-minute setup. Co-Market with Lenders By co-marketing with Concierge, agents can strengthen their relationship with a preferred lender and save on advertising costs while doing it. Concierge allows you to split your monthly advertising costs with the lender of your choice. Only lenders an agent co-markets with will be advertised with the agent or listings.

Homesnap Introduces 'Coming Soon' Ads for Listings
Agents can now use Homesnap Pro Ads to put advertising dollars behind listings in "coming soon" status in their MLS*. Homesnap Pro Ads for Coming Soon Listings are available on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Waze. Why does this matter? As the real estate market has slowed in the wake of COVID-19 and social distancing has made open houses and in-person visits difficult, many would-be buyers and sellers have postponed—but not canceled—their plans to enter the market. Coming Soon Ads are an effective way to give your soon-to-hit-the-market listings broader exposure and generate increased interest among these on-hold buyers. When the market eases back to normalcy, and you're ready to make your listing active, you'll have a waiting list of interested parties already eager to transact. Additionally, Coming Soon Ads are a useful tool in gauging current market demand. Many sellers, worried about a lack of interest, maybe hesitant to market their homes. Agents can use Coming Soon Ads' campaign results to gain deeper insights into market activity levels to advise clients on when is the right time to list and for what price. The perfect time to advertise Because of social distancing and stay-at-home orders, consumers are using social networks, particularly Facebook and Instagram, to stay connected. However, many businesses, instinctually pulling back spending, are not marketing to them. This combination of skyrocketing traffic and a dramatic drop in advertising spend has resulted in advertising costs on Facebook and Instagram falling considerably. We published a whitepaper on the subject, but the main takeaway is: Agents who are able to invest one these networks can expect a higher ROI and many more leads, to the tune of up to 40% more clicks for every dollar. With Coming Soon Ads, you can market your "coming soon" listing to these large social audiences at a price far less expensive than ever before. Or, in other words, you'll generate increased demand—at a fraction of the price. Ready to get started?

Adwerx Receives Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces 2019 Award
Adwerx once again nationally recognized for company culture, employee development and engagement DURHAM, N.C., May 16, 2019 -- Adwerx has been named one of Inc. magazine's "Best Workplaces" for the second year in a row. This is the fourth annual ranking in the fast-growing private company sector. The list is a measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits. Collecting data on nearly 2,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 346 finalists. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Omaha's Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Employers were then ranked using a composite score of survey results. The strongest scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. According to the Adwerx's survey results, 92% of Adwerx employees feel strongly engaged with their work.

National Association of Realtors Unveils "That's Who We R," a Campaign to Distinguish Realtors from Other Real Estate Agents
Content seeks to educate consumers on the value of a Realtor®, who abides by a Code of Ethics, practices advocacy and is backed by the nation’s largest trade association. WASHINGTON (February 25, 2019) – While many people know that a Realtor® helps buy and sell homes, what they may not know is that only a Realtor® is a member of the National Association of Realtors® and subscribes to its Code of Ethics. It's the Realtor® Code of Ethics that inspired the association's powerful new "That's Who We R®" campaign, which launched today. The campaign aims to reinforce the value of Realtors® as advocates for property owners, engaged community members and trusted advisors with in-depth knowledge of the industry. "Our story is a century in the making as we began to set NAR members apart from the rest by establishing a Code of Ethics in 1913. This code is as relevant now as it was one hundred years ago; it's our pledge of honesty, integrity, professionalism and community service as a true partner for buying or selling a home, or property," said John Smaby, 2019 President, NAR. "'That's Who We R®' reinforces that partnering with a Realtor®, delivers the peace of mind that can only come from working with a real person who is committed to their clients' futures and neighborhoods just as much as they are." "That's Who We R®" serves as a reminder of what NAR has always stood for, while signaling where the organization is heading. For Realtors®, the campaign is a rallying cry that instills pride in their everyday actions. For consumers, it's an education about the Realtor® difference. The integrated marketing campaign from Havas features a cinematic world inspired by the Realtor® mark that serves as a beacon throughout. Everything from the larger than life "R" at the beginning, to the angles and geometry used as transitional elements and across the numerous sets was inspired by the mark that sets Realtors® apart. The agency partnered with Director X, known for his visually distinctive style, to create something distinct and modern. "That's Who We R®" features compelling stories about humans helping humans find homes and property, build communities and turn business dreams into realities. "Our society has created trusted symbols from 'Verified' Instagram accounts to the Good Housekeeping Seal," said Karen Goodman, Group Creative Director at Havas Chicago. "As we dug into this brand, we knew Realtors® were the real deal and needed to find a way to telegraph that to everyone. We needed to turn the 'R' into the trusted symbol you should look for when buying and selling property." The campaign content will be brought to life through strategic partnerships reflecting the modern ways in which our target audience consumes media, including linear and online video, streaming and terrestrial audio, social media, branded partnerships with multi-channel content makers such as VICE, Apartment Therapy, The Atlantic, HULU and more. The :30 "That's Who We R®" TV spot can be viewed below, and more information about NAR is available at www.nar.realtor.

Moxi Works Launches Facebook Ads Feature for Agents
Advertise Your Listing Allows Agents to Create Facebook Listing Ads in Under Five Minutes June 19, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Real estate technology company, Moxi Works, is set to launch a new product next month, changing the game for agents' marketing tactics. Advertise Your Listing allows agents to create a Facebook ad for listings in under five minutes. Not only that, but it sends reports directly to their clients with the click of a button. Social media advertising has become a major player in real estate marketing. With over 1.94 billion active users on Facebook, it's a channel that consumers expect agents to capitalize on. The problem is, there's a big barrier to entry. Since the system was built for digital marketers, a significant number of agents find it intimidating and cumbersome, and therefore never get around to trying it. Making matters even worse, agents already have a hard time finding extra hours in the day. This means that although they are expected to be doing great and consistent social media marketing, rarely does it fit into their busy schedules. That’s why Moxi Works stepped in. Greg Sundberg, VP of Marketing, said, "It's important to be a digital savvy agent to compete and win business. Facebook is an obvious choice for us to help agents to do that. We believe this is the absolute easiest way to advertise online." By simplifying the process, Moxi Works was able to create a product that gives agents the ability to create top tier ads, in a short amount of time. “We have high quality brokers as our clients and they get a disproportionate share of listings, but in an ever-competitive environment it’s critical that they demonstrate value to their sellers. Advertise Your Listing helps them do that, while also being a big agent convenience,” said York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works. “The Moxi Cloud already has all of the info we need - listing info, brokerage info and brand, agent info, photos and a landing page, all of which are automatically created in the Moxi Cloud - so literally with the click of a button and a credit card, an agent can deliver value back to their seller.” Homeowners want to know that agents are taking a competitive approach and actively reaching new prospects. Advertise Your Listing helps agents show clients that they are willing to go the extra mile for them, and can be another cause for referral and repeat business. Moxi also took into account that many professionals are hesitant to use their personal Facebook profile. Agents do not need a Facebook account to use Advertise Your Listing.

Using Facebook Ads to Fill Your Pipeline [FREE WEBINAR]
  Research from the National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers has shown that buyers consistently cite honesty, responsiveness, knowledge of the real estate market, and communication skills as being very important qualities a real estate agent should have. Today's real estate consumers want to work with a professional who knows their local area extremely well and can provide relevant market information that will assist in the home buying or selling process. What if you could predict when these specific consumers might be preparing to buy or sell a home, and you could target them online? Using life event triggers frequently tied to a home sale/purchase you can do so with Facebook's ad targeting. According to a study from the Pew Research Center, as opposed to simply reading or viewing content, 65% of Facebook users frequently or sometimes share, post, and comment on Facebook, making it a great place to reach consumers where they are already engaged. With the ability to target ads based on a number of demographics and "life events" such as people who have recently gotten engaged or married, started a new job, or moved, you can more effectively zoom in on people who are more likely to be in the market to buy or sell. It's time to start using this information to target those hot prospects! Join us on Thursday, September 29 as we explore the use of Facebook ads for lead. We'll walk through how you can use specific life events to target potential buyers and sellers and build a network of "future leads" to fill your pipeline and nurture until they're ready to start the real estate process. Here's a quick sneak peek of what the webinar will cover: Click here to register for this free webinar on Thursday, 9/29 and learn how you can start leveraging Facebook ads like a PRO!

New real estate recruiting and retention tool for brokers
  What would you do if a thousand people asked you for the same thing? That's what happened to us here at Adwerx. Nearly a thousand real estate brokers asked us for help with a specific part of their business: recruiting. It wasn't surprising once we looked at the data. According to NAR's 2016 report, one-third of real estate agents started at a new firm last year — that's up by 67% from the year before. And the success of a brokerage is absolutely dependent on the agents. That's why NAR also reports that 44% of brokers are actively recruiting right now. Finally, a tool that makes real estate recruiting simple. We looked at our automated digital ad platform and saw a unique opportunity to help. That's how we came to develop our newest tool, Digital Ads for Recruiting. Now brokers can create a list of the exact agents they want to recruit. Maybe these are the top producers in the area. Or maybe they're new agents entering the market. Either way, they're the exact agents the broker wants to work with. Next, the brokers upload an ad with the messaging that best captures why the agency is the right place for their talents. Then Adwerx finds those agents where they are online, across thousands of premium web sites, on Facebook, and on mobile devices. "These targeted ads make it more likely the agents I want to work with will answer when I call," said broker Tiffany Kjellander of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate PorchLight Properties in New Jersey. And she's right: data from Officevibe shows that candidates with brand exposure are twice as likely to respond. Do you want to work with just any agent? Top Florida broker Samantha DeBianchi is building up her team and knows exactly the kind of agent she wants. "I don't just need agents on my team," she said. "I'm looking for superstars." But here's the challenge: recruiting the right agents takes time and effort. Many real estate brokers hold networking events. They buy print ads and do direct mail. All to build up that broker brand awareness with local agents in hopes of enticing them to make a move. And all the while running a busy real estate business. But do you know where most agents are, when not working directly with a client? They're online. And their mobile devices are never far. You're hiring, but so are they. There's a flip side to all this recruiting. Because all the while you're looking to lure away top agents, someone else is trying to lure yours. So the same tool that helps you recruit can help you retain your best agents as well. "My agents need to know how much they mean to the brokerage's success," said Joe Schutt of UNIT Realty Group in Boston. A retention campaign can remind real estate agents their broker is still their biggest fan. It reinforces that loyalty for agents who, in turn, can become evangelists for their broker. Recruiting will always be a top priority for brokers. But hopefully, with digital ads, it can be more about the right message to the right agents at the right time.

Adwerx partners with Giveback Homes
  Blake Andrews, the Founder of Giveback Homes, had a lightbulb moment during his own house hunt about three years ago. He thought of families who couldn't afford a home and decided to create a real estate business that would help improve lives. "What if we built a community of real estate professionals who want to be a part of social change?" And thus, Giveback Homes was born. The Giveback Homes team provides a cause marketing service to their Members, helping them easily make giving part of their business, donate directly to those in need, and get hands on with the building process. The organization is fueled by the passion of real estate professionals across the country and is growing every day. The agents and brokers who are part of Giveback Homes feel that philanthropy is more than doing good for good's sake; it's a way to differentiate themselves in the real estate market. Members get a digital toolkit that includes logos, social graphics, and custom marketing material so that home buyers and sellers understand the good their home purchase is doing for someone else. And the real estate pros have the confidence in knowing 100% of their donation goes to building a home. It's brilliantly simple. And since Adwerx understands things that are brilliantly simple, we needed to be part of the program. Working with Giveback Homes Co-Founder Caroline Pinal, we found a way to do even more. Adwerx customers who join the Giveback Homes community will receive custom "Agent for Change" graphics for their Adwerx ads. For each "Agent for Change" graphic placed, Giveback Homes will make a contribution to help build a home for a deserving family in need. "The Giveback Homes ads not only help the agents," said Pinal, "they spread the message of giving in real estate, raise the social profile of the industry for the better, and each one will help build homes."

Adwerx Delivers on Real Estate's Biggest Need: Marketing to an Agent's Sphere of Influence
  DURHAM, N.C., February 10, 2016 — Adwerx, the leading provider of localized digital advertising for over 25,000 real estate agents, today announced a new product that delivers digital ads to an agent's sphere of influence. The real estate agent is able to choose exactly who to target online by uploading a list of emails or phone numbers. The Agent's ads show to their sphere about once a day, representing a passive, always-on, marketing engine.  This new product represents the next frontier in advertising technology as a highly targeted, affordable and effective means for staying top of mind. According to the most recent National Association Realtors data, more than 65 percent of real estate business comes from an agent's sphere of influence (friends, family, past clients, personal network, etc). Therefore, staying top of mind with those connections is a powerful way to drive referral and repeat business. Sphere advertising from Adwerx is a perfect, everyday compliment to traditional campaigns like postcard mailings, personal notes, or gifts. "Few people actually understand the ads they are seeing are hyper-targeted," said Jed Carlson, chief executive officer at Adwerx. "The advertising industry has evolved from being able to target specific websites, to being able to target specific people.. We are thrilled Adwerx can bring this cutting edge ad technology to the individual real estate agent at such an affordable price." Adwerx sphere ads start at $99 per month for up to 2,500 ad views. Contacts in an agent's sphere will see the ads about once per day on Facebook, websites all over the Internet as well as in mobile apps. All contact information is encrypted and personal information is used only to show ads to the designated people. Because ads are shown on sites that people already visit, the experience is passive, non-intrusive and an effective way of reminding an agent's sphere that they are an active agent.

Realtor.com® "House Wrap" Shows You Can't Find Your Dream Home When It's Not There
AUSTIN, Texas, November 12, 2015 — Realtor.com®, a leading online real estate destination operated by News Corp subsidiary Move, Inc., today wrapped a for-sale home in Austin, Texas, visibly removing it from the residential block to vividly illustrate that you might be missing out on your dream home if you only search on Zillow.com. The experiential advertisement is a part of realtor.com®'s comparative advertising campaign that shows how realtor.com® lists many more MLS-listed, for-sale homes than its chief competitor. The advertising campaign is based on realtor.com®'s statistical analysis conducted in October 2015, which estimates that realtor.com® has approximately 20 percent – or an estimated 300,000 – more MLS-listed, for-sale homes nationwide than Zillow.com. The gap is wider in certain markets, increasing to 109 percent in Salt Lake City, for example. "Buying a home is one of the biggest commitments many of us will ever make, so it's not a decision we enter into lightly," said Nate Johnson, chief marketing officer for realtor.com®. "How confident would you feel about your decision if you knew 20 percent or more of your choices in MLS-listed homes for sale were missing from the real estate site you were using? This advertising campaign draws attention to the fact that, unlike our competitors, realtor.com® provides the most comprehensive view of MLS-listed, for-sale homes. It's why realtor.com® is the best – and truest – provider of real estate information and services for buyers and sellers in the nation." To illustrate the extent to which consumers may be missing out on homes for sale when using the competition, realtor.com®'s new experiential advertisement consists of fully wrapping a home that is currently on the market, located at 8600 Dulcet Drive in Austin, Texas 78745 and brokered by GoodLife Realty. The all-black covering is emblazoned with, "Searching for a home to buy on Zillow? You're missing out on thousands like this," and provides a visual representation of the seriousness of competitor gaps in MLS-listed, for-sale homes. The house will be wrapped until Nov. 14, and on Nov. 15, GoodLife Realty will host an open house in the home from 1-4 p.m. Based on internal analysis conducted in October, realtor.com® provides at least 20 percent more – or an estimated 300,000 more – MLS-listed homes among its for-sale listings nationwide than Zillow.com. This realtor.com® listings advantage is even greater in some local markets including: Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)* Realtor.com® Listings Advantage(compared to Zillow.com) Austin 33 percent Denver 30 percent Memphis, Tenn. 42 percent Miami 52 percent New Orleans 67 percent Salt Lake City 109 percent San Diego 48 percent * Results based on comparing MLS-listed homes for sale in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") for the cities indicated; except for Miami, where the comparison was for OMB's Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall Metro Division of its MSA for Miami. Results shown are as of approximately late October 2015, and are not necessarily representative of other metro areas or locales. The national campaign also includes different variations of animated banner advertising that display the amount of homes currently for sale in hot housing markets as listed on realtor.com® versus Zillow.com. Specific markets featured in these ads include Austin, San Diego, Miami, Denver and New Orleans. Additionally, static digital ads appear on major online news and consumer websites such as Google, Curbed, and Yahoo!, as well as entertainment and social media platforms including Spotify, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The ads feature headlines such as: "There are more homes for sale than Zillow's showing you. Realtor.com® – search more homes for sale," "If you're looking to buy your perfect home, Zillow might not have it. Realtor.com® – search more homes for sale," and "More homes on realtor.com® means more homes that could be yours. Realtor.com® – search more homes for sale." The campaign was developed with the help of Pereira & O'Dell New York, realtor.com®'s advertising agency of record. About Move, Inc. and realtor.com® Move, Inc. operates the realtor.com® website and mobile experiences, which provide buyers, sellers and renters of homes with the information, tools and professional expertise they need to discover and create their perfect home.

Real Estate Book and Homes & Land Under One Roof
Real Estate Media Holdings, LLC, a Lion Equity company, has broadened its investment in the real estate marketing space by adding Homes & Land, a leading real estate media brand, to its portfolio, along with the additional brands Estates & Homes, Rental Guide and Home Guide. The group purchased NewPoint Media Group, publishers of The Real Estate Book, in June of 2012. Both The Real Estate Book and Homes & Land publish local real estate magazines in hundreds of markets across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean through a network of independent business owners. In addition, both brands power high traffic consumer websites, RealEstateBook.com and HomesandLand.com, with millions of homes listed for sale, as well as mobile, social, and direct mail marketing tools for real estate professionals. "Real estate marketing, and specifically, locally distributed print advertising, is a very strong business model," said Ari Silverman, Co-founder and partner in Lion Equity Partners. "Reaching local buyers and sellers is paramount to an agent's business, and hyper local offline advertising does that very effectively. We've experienced this with The Real Estate Book and feel that adding Homes & Land will strengthen our investment in the industry and further build the return to our investors." A recent study conducted by Borrell Associates on the marketing spending habits of agents, brokers, and builders indicates that they have not abandoned their commitment to local print as part of an integrated marketing strategy. In fact, the forecast suggests spending will increase. The category represents nearly 650 million in spending and is expected to continue to grow 8% over the next 5 years. "Many would have you believe consumers shop for homes exclusively using the web," said Scott Dixon, President of NewPoint Media Group, publishers of The Real Estate Book. "Our experience is that when a consumer is in the zone, in terms of shopping for a home, any and all information regarding the most important financial investment in their lives is deemed relevant and useful. Local real estate magazines offer a useful reference point for shoppers and a way for top real estate agents to distinguish themselves from others in the market who rely solely on their company's website and Zillow or Trulia." "Zillow and Trulia, who announced their consolidation earlier this week have effectively become a public MLS system, while our offering is targeted to showcase those premier agents who offer their clients marketing services above and beyond simple web exposure," Dixon added. Homes & Land and The Real Estate Book are the tools top agents use to stand out in their local market," added Allen Harrod, President of Homes & Land. "A website does not sit on the coffee table like a high quality magazine. When searching for their most valuable asset, consumers demonstrate a higher level of credibility and confidence in an agent who also advertises in print. They realize that this agent is a professional who makes a conscious decision to invest in quality advertising, a step above just anyone who puts their photo and phone number online." Jim Levitas, Co-founder and partner in Lion Equity Partners summed up their commitment to each brand. "Both Homes and Land and The Real Estate Book have been in business for over 30 years, and while, they, like most media, took hits during the downturn, it's been exciting to watch the steady return of advertisers to this highly relevant media." "These brands have been and will remain wise investments for their advertisers, independent business owners, and for us," Levitas said. "We knew the opportunity to combine both under one holding company would benefit all. Both management teams are leaders in the industry and we're excited about the future."

Realtor.com® Champions Accuracy for Consumers with Integrated Advertising Campaign
SAN JOSE, CA, May 12, 2014 -- Accuracy in residential listings is so vital to home buyers that premier online listing service realtor.com® today is launching a national advertising campaign, Accuracy Matters, to educate consumers about the importance of relying on realtor.com® to provide them the most accurate U.S. residential listings. Realtor.com® is operated by Move, Inc. Created by Pereira & O'Dell New York and directed by Uber Content's Daniel Strange, the new campaign features two 30-second commercials: "Mom" and "Doghouse Architects." These advertisements entertainingly show what happens when home buyers look for homes using inaccurate real estate search applications versus the realtor.com® mobile apps. Strange's lighthearted approach brings warmth to the realtor.com® accuracy message, while highlighting the growing conversation around out-of-date listings on competitor apps and websites. Set to broadcast nationally through 2014, Accuracy Matters uses an integrated-marketing approach including television and digital advertisements, contests and social media focused on the hashtag #AccuracyMatters. Additionally, realtor.com® and the National Association of REALTORS® are collaborating to educate consumers about how accurate residential listings ensure a faster and less stressful search for the perfect home. The second stage of Accuracy Matters will launch when the NAR debuts new creative later this year. "There's nothing more irritating than finding a home you love during your search and learning that it has recently been taken off the market or that the price provided is very different from what is actually the case," said Barbara O'Connor, chief marketing officer for Move, Inc. "Accuracy Matters provides us with an opportunity to remind home buyers that the frustration of inaccurate listings is completely avoidable. Using realtor.com® mobile apps or its website gives buyers a leg up on the competition and helps them avoid wasting their time viewing incorrect listings." Since the inception of its first advertising campaign, realtor.com® has held steadfast to its unique brand personality and tone that differentiates it from competitors in the real estate marketplace. Building on the humorous personality launched in last year's award-winning Find it First campaign, Accuracy Matters goes further to emotionally engage consumers through situational and visual humor. "Coming from a real estate family, I've seen my share of formulaic advertising in the category," said Dave Arnold, executive creative director at Pereira & O'Dell. "Our goal with Accuracy Matters is to not only connect realtor.com® to a singular product message it can rightfully own, but to also have some fun with inaccurate listing information." The accuracy of realtor.com® is based on its unique, direct relationships with more than 800 multiple listing services that provide consumers with 98 percent of all for-sale properties listed in the U.S. The powerful combination of comprehensive information persistently updated every 15 minutes ensures that consumers using realtor.com® can make smart home buying and selling decisions. Realtor.com® launched its first mobile application in January 2010. By January 2013, the number of its residential listings viewed on mobile devices overtook those searched with desktop computers. By March 2014, nearly 60 percent of all realtor.com® residential listings viewed each month were on mobile applications. The application is available on Android, iPad as well as iPhone and includes image galleries, an open house locator and various search functionalities including search by school district. Additionally, the application's GPS capability will pull nearby listings in real time as buyers physically scout neighborhoods.

Pleasanton, CA--SmartZip Analytics, Inc., a leader in analytics-powered targeted marketing for real estate businesses, today announced the release of SmartTargeting ads for Facebook, the first pre-targeted ads to allow real estate agents and brokers to place their brand right on the Facebook pages of their best homeowner prospects, as identified by SmartZip's proven predictive models. SmartTargeting brings big data, predictive analytics, and marketing automation together to help real estate agents identify and connect with the best seller prospects. With the launch of pre-targeted ads for Facebook, customers now have the power of SmartTargeting immersed within the realm of social media. "By extending our targeted online platform to social, we are creating a more robust system for agents to build their brand and generate demand simultaneously from multiple marketing channels," said president and CEO, Avi Gupta.

With the addition of targeted Facebook ads, SmartZip clients now have their brand appearing from all angles – when a prospect is shopping online, browsing on Facebook, and even checking their mail box. How does it work? When an agent signs on with SmartZip, they define a neighborhood they want to farm. Once that area is defined, SmartZip runs predictive modeling to identify the best listing prospects, and ranks those homeowners by their likelihood to sell. Now agents have a targeted group of homeowners to focus their sales and marketing efforts. Behind the scenes, SmartZip has a fully automated marketing platform that runs branded campaigns directly to these prospects, on behalf of the agent, via online ads, email, direct mail, and Facebook. "There has never been a more complete marketing system that gets agents in front of the most likely sellers in such a direct way," said Michael Tritthart, technology instructor at Keller Williams Realty. "I conduct technology workshops all over the US and one of the constants I hear in class are success stories from SmartZip clients." The targeted Facebook ads culminate a year of product innovations for SmartZip's seller targeting platform, which have included mobile apps for high-tech farming, Facebook CMA (comparative market analysis) app for agents, automated handwritten letters, agent-branded lead capture websites, new marketing offers, and a host of other marketing tools. "Winning listings is the toughest problem in the industry, requiring deep insights on homes and their owners, consistent and relevant marketing, and a high degree of relationship building," noted Rajeev Kalavar, SmartZip's vice president of products. "Our goal with SmartTargeting is to help our clients maximize the impact of every marketing dollar and personal time they invest into prospecting for listings." The SmartZip marketing platform is composed of three precisely targeted online ad channels: SmartZip Online Display Ad Targeting – Agent-branded ads are proactively served to targeted home seller prospects while they browse across thousands of top internet sites.

Craigslist Display Ads are back, Imprev solves real estate’s Craigslist display ad dilemma
Tuesday, January 14, 2014 – New York – Imprev announced today a new solution for real estate agents who lost the ability to post display ads on Craigslist when the online classified advertising giant changed its site specifications. Imprev, which provides marketing technologies to franchises and brokerages, developed a new Craigslist display ad format that works with Craigslist's new requirements. "Real estate agents were left hanging when Craigslist effectively pulled the plug on display ads," explained Renwick Congdon, CEO of Imprev. "Agents who use the Imprev platform can once again create engaging, high-quality display ads for Craigslist," he added. Congdon, who is attending this week's Real Estate Connect CEO Summit in New York City, notes that the flexibility of the Imprev marketing platform allows his team to quickly create new products as technologies evolve. "Technology change is constant and rapid. Brokerages that adopt flexible solutions avoid product obsolescence, which today can happen on the turn of a dime. The new Imprev platform is exceptionally adaptive." Craigslist has been a perennial favorite of many real estate agents. Its traffic is massive: More than 50 billion page views per month, 60 million-plus users in the U.S. and 700 sites in 70 countries. Prior to the change, real estate agents had been generating thousands of ads to market their properties daily to this worldwide base of potential homebuyers and sellers. Internal Imprev data shows Craigslist ads were one of the top six product types agents used to market homes in 2013. Late last year, Craigslist made changes that eliminated an agent's ability to create enhanced listings and forced them to revert back to using plain text and fixed photos. The new Craigslist display ad product from Imprev enable agents to once again leverage the reach of Craigslist by displaying property images, custom text, logo, a team or personal photo, as well as their brand identity. An agent can also use these new designs to create a display ad for self-promotion of the services they offer to homebuyers and sellers. About Imprev Imprev, Inc. provides real estate companies with custom Marketing Centers and digital apps built on the industry's most advanced platform. The fully integrated marketing tools allow agents to self-publish print, multimedia, video, online, and email advertising and communications in one place. Established in 2000, Imprev is headquartered in Bellevue, Wash., with more information at www.imprev.com.
