Boomerang Leads Creates Innovative Partnership with Inkscale Realty
Home buyers in the D.C. area can access real estate websites to get in touch with an Inkscale agent.
Online, August 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A few months ago, Boomerang Leads (a Utah-based online marketing company) established a partnership with B.J. Hooker, a real estate agent of Inkscale Realty, a premier real estate brokerage in Washington, D.C. Boomerang created an innovative website for Inkscale, which will allow home buyers a simple opportunity to find homes, and for real estate agents the opportunity to work with those consumers.
DCHomesforSale.com offers a state-of-the-art home listing display and search that home buyers can browse and inspect online. Another unique feature also allows them to take "virtual tours" of any property. The listings include standard single-family homes of all price ranges, but also include luxury homes, townhouses and condos.
Kirk Salisbury, the lead project manager for the website, said that the ultimate object of Boomerang Leads is "to create a win-win situation for home buyers and real estate agencies." The website, he said, "is optimized and user-friendly. It's easy for anyone to go on the website, narrow their search to the kind of property and price range that they're looking for, then start browsing."
Salisbury continues, "It's all about creating an online venue where home buyers and real estate agents can help one another in understanding needs and making the home purchase process smooth - all the way from finding the home, to the day the keys are turned over to the new owner."
Once a potential home buyer finds a property (or properties) that they're interested in, the website prompts them to leave contact information. A phone team from Boomerang calls the potential buyer to verify their information, and then forwards the buyer info straight to the realtor.
The realtor is then able to follow-up with the potential buyer. The goal then, according to Salisbury, is to translate the lead into a home sale. "Of course, like any referral in real estate, not all leads translate into home sales," he said. "But we have a high success rate, and many of our realtors are able to sell many, many homes a year from the online leads alone."
"Ultimately," he added, "this creates that powerful win-win-win situation for first the buyer, for B.J. Hooker, and for us."
According to Salisbury, "online home listings are the future of the real estate market. We are excited about what we have been doing in Washington, D.C., and continue to look forward to helping others achieve this same visibility."
