Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 24, 2010

Homekeys announced today the launch of its Pay As You Go – Flat Fee MLS listing service. The program allows property owners to list their homes for sale and pay for services as they use them. The charge for the Flat Fee MLS listing service is only $ 9.95 per month and can be terminated by the homeowner at any time without penalty. While listed under Homekeys, homeowners may also receive assistance with negotiation and closing their transaction for a flat fee of $ 499.

The decision to offer these cost effective services was driven by a survey conducted over the past 120 days on the Homekeys.com website. In this recessionary environment, seller respondents overwhelmingly expressed their desire to have their basic needs met in a less restrictive and more cost effective manner. More specifically, they identified three areas of immediate need: (1) exposure of their properties to as many potential buyers as possible, (2) assistance with negotiating and closing their transactions and (3) freedom to address their selling needs without entering into long term listing agreements.

?Our Pay As You Go – Flat Fee MLS listing program was designed to address the major concerns expressed by many of our customers trying to make the most out of the equity they have left in their homes?, said Manuel J. Iraola, President and CEO of Homekeys. He explained tht the last couple of years have been difficult for sellers of Florida real estate. Values have plummeted and many have seen their life time equity being wiped out in declining home values. ?This economic crisis has not spared anyone. It does not matter if your home is worth $ 200,000 or $ 5 million. You are feeling the pinch. And 6% commission can really take a big chunk out of whatever equity is left. Now, more than ever, every penny counts!? Iraola added.

Homekeys provides unparalleled marketing exposure to homeowners thinking about selling. In addition to listing their property on the MLS and on its own powerful florida real estate search, Homekeys exposes its listings on all of the major real estate search sites on the Web, including a showcase listing with expanded description on Realtor.com. Homekeys clients also have free access to research links for estimating home values, to comparable sales and county records data, and to its weekly real estate Market Updates newsletter.

?Homeowners understand that it is not economically feasible for us to provide a full service listing for only $ 9.95 per month, but they also understand and appreciate that savings of up to 4% of the selling price are possible if they adopt a more active role in the process?, said Iraola. The new Pay As You Go program provides the tools and services that will enable sellers to save up to $ 40,000 on a $ 1 million home or $ 4,000 on a $ 100,000 condo. ?They just do the math and many decide they are willing to show their own homes to potential buyers and purchase only the services they feel they need?, he added.

?Our Board of Directors is clearly supportive of our position to be as socially responsible as we can be during this difficult operating environment. This is about doing the right thing for the long term benefits of the communities and the people we serve?, said Iraola. ?As Realtors, we are in a position to help many people in the community that need help now. Yes, this Program will reduce our short term profitability but hopefully those that we will help will remember us when things get back to normal?, he added.

Since its founding in 2004, Homekeys has prided itself on its consumer advocacy and on offering buyers and sellers full transparency and the widest and most comprehensive range of options for transacting residential Florida real estate. Along with this new offering, they will continue to offer full service and support for buyers and sellers that desire assistance with every step of the real estate transaction.

Milwaukee (PRWEB) February 5, 2004

While it’s a good idea to plant flowers to add curb appeal when selling your home, it’s not easy digging into the soil in the middle of February. A better idea? Have Shorewest plant a sign in your yard. (New TV spots are available for viewing at http://www.meyerwallis.com/whatsnew).

Meyer & Wallis is launching a new 2004 campaign for Shorewest Realtors this month that puts a comedic spin on home selling tips. The ads are meant to communicate that while there are many tips on selling a home, Shorewest is the only tip that buyers and sellers need.

“With our knowledgeable associates, aggressive marketing, and dominant market share, the only tip you need is having the Shorewest team behind you,” said John Paul Horning, Executive Vice President of Shorewest Realtors.

“We are excited about Shorewest’s new campaign and we are delighted to help with their continued growth and success,” said Scott Rackham, President of Meyer & Wallis. “Last year was a record year for them. We hope to help make 2004 even better.”

“The campaign has the aura of leadership that only Shorewest can claim. It reaffirms their dominance in the marketplace,” said Tom Dixon, Vice President and Creative Director at Meyer & Wallis who conceptualized the ads.

“Executionally, we are tapping into home selling tips that people can identify with and using humorous scenarios as a springboard to deliver Shorewest’s leadership message,” said Dixon. With three times more listings in Metro Milwaukee than the nearest competitor, Shorewest holds the position as Wisconsin’s largest home seller.

Shorewest Realtors’ new home tips campaign will be introduced in a media blitz. The campaign includes billboard, television, and radio creative. Part of the television strategy is using 15-second “book end” concepts that will double the messages that can be conveyed and double the number of impressions. “The creative concepts are simple and concise enough for us to do that,” said Dixon. Television spots will open and close scheduled commercial pods on all major stations in the Milwaukee DMA.

Shorewest Realtors, Wisconsin’s largest home seller every year since 1951, is a nationally recognized, family owned realtor. With 18 offices and 900 sales associates, they are committed to unsurpassed customer service in Southeastern Wisconsin. Shorewest provides closing, title, mortgage, and relocation services and closed nearly $ 2.3 billion in sales in 2003. They are Wisconsin’s exclusive affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates for the area’s finest properties. To learn more about Shorewest, visit http://www.shorewest.com.

Meyer & Wallis, a proud member of the Shorewest team for almost 30 years, is a full-service advertising agency with experience in consumer, business-to-business, and retail advertising and marketing. The agency, which bills approximately $ 43 million annually, has offices in Milwaukee and Indianapolis.

Current Meyer & Wallis clients include the American Heart Association Midwest Affiliate, Batteries Plus, The Blood Center of Southeastern Wisconsin, Cardinal Stritch University, Columbia St. Mary’s, Flexsteel Industries, Guerbet LLC, Independent Physicians Network, LoBill Supermarkets, Marsh Supermarkets Inc., O’Malia’s, Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin, Quad Tech, Quad/Graphics, Vectren Energy, Village Pantry, and the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.

OwnMAX For Sale by Owner (http://www.ownmax.com), a premier FSBO (For Sale By Owner) website targeted for those interested in buying and selling property directly from home owners (irrespective of where they are based in the US), launches a nationwide program tailored to Real Estate and Mortgage professionals allowing them to benefit from their growing nationwide For Sale by Owner (FSBO) home owner customer base. With the demonstrated OwnMAX affiliate model creating recurring business, the entrepreneurial opportunities prove lucrative whether it is a buyers or sellers market.

The philosophy at OwnMAX is to give their customers the best service at the lowest price, while staying committed to providing individual assistance. Since the local real estate markets are better served by a local professional, OwnMAX is looking for real estate, mortgage professionals, or entrepreneurs to exclusively manage each of their 200+ markets across the United States. Since OwnMAX does not charge commissions, home sellers pay a fixed price for the service provided (i.e. listing their home) which is made payable to the affiliate automatically. The OwnMAX marketing program allows customers to keep more of the equity in their home, in effect allowing them more money to purchase a new home. Using this concept, OwnMAX is strategically changing the way real estate is bought and sold today.

With the launch of their new FSBO (For Sale By Owner) affiliate program, Realtors, Mortgage Brokers or entrepreneurs can tap into the FSBO listings marketplace through a website provided by OwnMAX (example: http://www.ownmax.com/milwaukee). Along with a website, OwnMAX FSBO affiliates also receive a web based CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system that aids in turning OwnMAX home buyers and home sellers into customers of their own. The CRM system acts as a “virtual office” enabling the OwnMAX affiliate to manage their FSBO home buyers, sellers and leads from one main control panel. New FSBO home seller leads are delivered into this system daily to ensure the OwnMAX affiliate’s success. With a click of a button, OwnMAX affiliates can turn a For Sale by Owner lead into a customer automatically.

For Sale by Owner property buyers on the other hand have access to thousands of homeowner property listings across the nation. Using sophisticated live map technology, home buyers can search for FSBO property listings by location (city, state, size, and zip code) as well as price range, radius or metropolitan area. OwnMAX buyers can also view property valuations on almost every home listed with OwnMAX and order “virtual appraisals” to help them determine fair market values. In addition, OwnMAX For Sale by Owner features a comprehensive set of tools to make its customers FSBO experience be as smooth as possible such as moving, inspection, home warranty, insurance, and credit check, to name a few – all services that home owners will need at some stage during the home selling or buying process.
