RISMEDIA, October 25, 2006?William Raveis, Chairman and CEO of William Raveis Real Estate & Home Services, recently announced several sophisticated updates to the company?s award-winning Web site raveis.com. With over 3.5 million visits per year, and an estimated 600 million hits per year, raveis.com is a popular site for home buyers and sellers in New England and beyond.

?When a seller lists their home with William Raveis, they immediately receive vast online benefits,? stated Raveis. ?Their home becomes an ?enhanced listing,? larger than all other MLS listings on the site, is surrounded by an eye-catching blue frame, and can include over 20 photos with descriptions on each, and more.?

?Being an independent real estate company with a strong focus on entrepreneurial past, present and future, we?re always looking to take our company to the next level,? said Raveis. ?Soon we will begin providing access to all properties on the MLS to mobile phones with Internet access, and raveis.com will feature various Podcasts available for download to MP3 players and computers,? he continued. Podcasting is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically on their MP3 player or computer.

The enhanced listing capabilities also include interactive contact information, neighborhood mapping of nearby amenities, a slideshow of property photos, and so much more. Once a consumer clicks on a William Raveis enhanced listing, they are treated to an abundance of information on the property, including a printable brochure with descriptive thumbnail picture tags, an ?online business card? complete with the listing agent?s photo and contact information, and more.

The Web site has also been upgraded to allow the company?s 1,700 sales associates to better service their clients with a variety of new options, including more access for consumers to directly connect to their personal William Raveis Web site, including several interactive options. ?I am very proud of the success raveis.com has experienced, and especially pleased that the public has been so receptive to the site, utilizing its benefits so completely,? he continued.
