CENTURY 21 ONLINE LISTING DISTRIBUTION UPDATE

I know from talking with many of you that we have more listings coming online in the next few weeks as people look are looking to the Stimulus Package in Washington to bring more buyers back into the market.

Now, more than ever, marketing matters.

Toward that end, I wanted to remind you that Century21.com distributes your listings automatically to Google, Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo! Real Estate, Homefinder, AOL Real Estate, Homes.com, OpenHouses.com, and listings above $500,000 are picked up on WallStreetJournal.com.

Of course, we also have IDX agreements that allow your listings to be promoted on the sites of competing brokerages as long as they abide by IDX guidelines.

Just a few years ago, many agents had to manually upload their properties onto many of these sites. Today, thanks to CENTURY 21, your listings are spread far and wide as soon as they are entered into the CREST system.

Please make sure your clients know that no one can do more to promote their homes online than CENTURY 21. Now more than ever, the brand matters.
