RISMEDIA, August 1, 2007—Leading Real Estate Companies of the World™ (LeadingRE) unveiled a new version of RELOHomeSearch.com this month to provide the 77% of consumers who begin their home search online with a portal to a superior home buying experience. Providing property listings, in-depth local market statistics, cost-of-living analyses, and market-specific user-generated intelligence used to streamline the search process, RELOHomeSearch.com connects home buyers and sellers with real estate experts in thousands of cities and towns of all sizes in the United States and abroad.
 
“Not only does RELOHomeSearch.com provide home buyers and sellers with comprehensive community snapshots along with available homes,” said Pam O’Connor, president/CEO of LeadingRE, “but also, the site then connects them to LeadingRE’s local real estate experts, who sell more real estate than any other real estate group and have been providing a ‘managed care’ service for relocating homeowners for over 40 years.  This gives consumers the best of both the online and offline worlds.” 

Unlike most other home search sites, RELOHomeSearch.com offers global as well as domestic properties and information on small and mid-size markets as well as major metropolitan areas by using the exclusive resources of the extensive and highly-regarded LeadingRE network.  The Web site orders its listings based upon the popularity of each property and utilizes data gathered about the search efforts and choices of prior users.

RELOHomeSearch.com features community overviews, including historical and cultural information, school and demographic data, homes for sale, resident profiles and more at the granular community level.  No registration is required to search the site, and there is no banner advertising.

RELOHomeSearch.com’s neighborhood content and informative insight into communities are written by real estate experts and provide local detail aimed at the out-of-town researcher.  This content creates a compelling real estate consumer experience by integrating local market statistics and narrative content, and guiding consumers to local real estate professionals who have demonstrated their expertise through the knowledge on display.

LeadingRE’s cost-of-living analyses tool on RELOHomeSearch.com calculates differences between the standards of living in two or more destinations. Side-by-side result comparisons of transportation, health care, insurance, housing, education, and other costs provide consumers with immediate and detailed assessments of each location.
