(April 28, 2003) Huntington Beach, CA - HouseHunt, Inc. has augmented its Total Internet Marketing (TIM) for Brokers program with a new recruiting module. This exclusive program provides offices with a comprehensive, fully customized package that systematizes recruiting and allows offices to target specific agents in specific markets.
A recent survey of real estate managers compiled by real estate consultant Steven Friedman showed that while 96% believe that recruiting is a critical task, 79% perceive recruiting as an overwhelming challenge they cannot fix, control or manage. And 86% cannot easily present why their organization is different or what value they offer agents. “For years, most brokerages have taken a ‘shotgun approach’ to recruiting,” said Mike Bearden, President of HouseHunt, Inc. “TIM for Brokers gives them an opportunity to target productive experienced agents and up-and-coming new agents rather than just filling desks. With the tight margins of today’s industry, per agent productivity is becoming even more critical.” TIM for Brokers was designed to provide offices with a complete array of systems and tools including leads management, client contact and follow-up, prospecting and relocation services. The new recruiting element adds to the value of the Internet-based program. “The recruiting element is the only targeted, custom-designed Internet based program that allows real estate managers to target specific agents in a specific marketplace that fit a specific profile,” Bearden said. “It gives users the ability to deliver custom messages in an exclusive space via e-mail. It was designed to augment existing programs, not replace them.” TIM for Brokers provides multiple-office firms with an exclusive recruiting solution and allows the firm to clearly differentiate itself from the competition. The program also provides relocation departments with the ability to enhance customer satisfaction and build area recognition. TIM allows users to send electronic flyers on new listings, Just Listed and Just Sold property brochures and Open House invitations. It's also the solution for staying in touch with past and current clients because it allows the firm and its agents to quickly and efficiently deliver a wide variety of electronic greeting cards and messages from a library of professionally designed marketing items and to schedule delivery months in advance. And since TIM is an e-mail based program, it can save thousands of dollars annually in postage and labor costs. HouseHunt, Inc. -- a leading provider of Internet-based lead generation, productivity and follow-up systems for both agents and brokers - has been producing tremendous results for real estate agents since 1995 through its exclusive lead-generation websites: HouseHunt.com and HomeValueHunt.com. The secret to the company’s success is simple: HouseHunt, Inc. provides consumers with easy access to the real estate information they want and its agent members with unmatched lead-generation systems, exclusivity and a proven repetitive contact system to help agent turned Internet leads into closed transactions.
