GMAC Real Estate Names Obeo Approved Virtual Tour Vendor

RISMEDIA, August 8, 2007–Obeo, a provider of full-service residential real estate online marketing products, was recently named an approved virtual tours vendor for GMAC Real Estate’s more than 1,000 franchised and company-owned offices throughout the United States and Canada.

“A lot of companies offer virtual tour products. A significant difference with Obeo Tour is that the photography is crisper and less distorted than what you get with other virtual tour companies,” said Lane Barnett, president and CEO of GMAC Real Estate’s franchise operations. “Obeo Tour was also a better value than competitive services.”

“At Obeo, we take pride in offering clients like GMAC Real Estate not just virtual tours, but a suite of premium online marketing products whose metrics and return on investment can be measured, all while costing considerably less than our competitors’ products,” said Glade Jones, Obeo CEO and president.

“Our use of professional photographers combined with Obeo’s proprietary photo-stitching software makes listings pop,” said Jonathan Nicholas, Obeo’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “More importantly, virtual tour is just one of many online marketing solutions Obeo offers that drives prospective buyers to an agent’s online content. That really gives our customers a leg up on their competition.”

“We are delighted that GMAC Real Estate has put its faith in us as a preferred supplier for its 22,000 sales associates,” Nicholas added. “In the ever-increasingly competitive real estate marketplace, we need to give our customers every possible, measurable advantage. Our products do that.”
