Prudential Spencer-Hughes Real Estate to take part in YAHOO! Real Estate's New Online Listings
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire – Prudential Spencer-Hughes Real Estate announced that it will participate in Yahoo! Real Estate’s new, online property listings program. The agreement will enable Prudential Spencer-Hughes to market their full catalog of property listings on Yahoo! Real Estate, and to capitalize on leading interactive marketing services.
“Technology has always differentiated Prudential Spencer-Hughes and this enhances our online position and makes for a better experience for our customers,” said Robert Hughes, broker/owner, Prudential Spencer-Hughes. “This helps to diversify our Web partnerships, maximize our search exposure and multiply functionality and services for our sales professionals.”
Yahoo! Real Estate’s online property listings program includes interactive marketing services such as featured home listings and display advertising. Under the new agreement, all of Prudential Spencer-Hughes’ listings will appear as featured listings on Yahoo! Real Estate later in 2008. These services will support Prudential Real Estate’s popular Online Advantage program, which delivers online homebuyer and seller leads to affiliates.
Prudential Real Estate also will run strategically placed advertisements throughout Yahoo! Real Estate to attract even more home shoppers to its Online Advantage platform. Ads will be embedded within the Yahoo! Real Estate site, customized to shoppers’ respective target markets.
“We’ve had a wonderful partnership with Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. since 2001 and we are excited to have the company participate in our new listings program,” said Michael Yang, vice president and general manager of Yahoo! Real Estate. “Each year, a growing number of users turn to the Internet and Yahoo! Real Estate as their first stop for real estate information and listings. In working with Prudential Real Estate, we can offer a national footprint of listings offered through interactive, content-rich services.”
