Listingbook

I ran into this company about a year ago and was blown away but what they are doing. I’m going to urge you to find out if your MLS has it and if it does, jump on it . . . with both feet!

Listingbook enables you to give real time MLS access to your buyers and sellers so that they can search the most accurate and up-to-date information available in the local market. The only way they get access is through the account you give them and they’re reminded of that fact every time they log in.

Ray Gronowski has been named Senior Vice President of Sales & Partnerships at Listingbook. In his role, Gronowski will focus on the growth of broker partnerships, increased agent awareness of Listingbook services and greater adoption. He will also focus on building a sales force to accomplish these goals.

Listingbook was featured in an article from RIS Media, posted online yesterday. In the article, titled “Standing Out, Bringing Business Up,”  it states:  ”Teaming up with Listingbook helps agents to not only automate the stereotypical “busy” work and create an impressive interactive experience for clients, but also enhances their value to buyers and sellers in [...]

“I was paying way too much money for my last website without any leads. As an MLSLI participant, I was able to hook up with LISTINGBOOK. It gives me a free basic website which I was able to upgrade for a fraction of the price of my old website and now I get plenty of leads to keep my business growing. The best part is that my clients are also hooked. I can see them sign in most every day when they receive their daily Morning Reports which are branded with my name, picture and company logo. So now, they get all their real estate information in one place and remember me as the go-to agent to contact when their time is right. I love LISTINGBOOK-it saved my business!”

North Carolina-based Listingbook™ is continuing to expand client-servicing to the California real estate marketplace with the announcement of a signed agreement with MLSListings Inc., based in Sunnyvale, CA. Listingbook, the nation’s leading online service that connects real estate agents and their clients, will be delivered to MLSListings’ members beginning this summer. In partnership with the MLS organization, Listingbook will revolutionize how Northern California homebuyers and sellers receive real estate listing information and communicate with the nearly 20,000 MLS member agents.

An article was published yesterday, June 2, 2009, on The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney website is titled Home Buying Sites Flying Under the Radar.

The article starts out, “Technology has drastically changed the way homes are bought and sold.” That got our attention and we couldn’t agree more. So, where did they do their research for this article? SmartMoney asked real estate industry professionals which lesser-known web sites and services home buyers should use to guide them through the bumpy real estate market. Listingbook is one that stood out.

As Listingbook gains more recognition across the country, the stories and unsolicited customer testimonials are growing as well. We think that they speak for themselves. Listingbook was again featured in The New York Times on Friday, May 15 in an article titled, My New House? I Met It Online.
