Jones Lang LaSalle Teams with SecondSpace to Promote Over 700 Recreational Land Properties on LandWatch.com
Leading site for land and rural retreats enables national land brokerage network to reach broad range of consumers across the Web.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Jones Lang LaSalle, the leading provider of commercial real estate services in the U.S. and 50 countries abroad, and SecondSpace, Inc., a leading Web services company that powers LandWatch.com, ResortScape.com and other lifestyle-oriented websites, today announced that they have entered into a strategic agreement to leverage SecondSpace's Internet marketing platform to better help buyers discover select recreational properties and rural homesites across the U.S.
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world currently use LandWatch.com and ResortScape.com each month to find and discover their ideal acreage, ranch, homesite or recreational retreat. Now, they can leverage LandWatch.com to browse over 700 properties listed by Jones Lang LaSalle and connect with the firm's nationwide network of over 60 premier land brokers.
"Across the country and even across borders, buyers cast a very wide net when searching for their ideal parcel of land, be it a large recreational acreage or a homesite on which to build their dream home in the country," said John Vick, Managing Director of the recreational land program within Jones Lang LaSalle. "By listing our properties on LandWatch.com, we allow consumers to search and discover properties according to type, location, even area activities--enabling our network of specialized land brokers to match customers with the property that best suits their lifestyle needs."
The partnership enables Jones Lang LaSalle to leverage SecondSpace's online customer relationship marketing platform to reach highly qualified and motivated property buyers. Visitors to LandWatch.com are able to easily search for their ideal property through a semantic, natural-language search engine; navigate land listings based on geography, activity, price range, property type or parcel size; and filter searches based on a wide range of attributes, so they can "zero in" on search results without clicking through hundreds of pages of listings. Through this powerful search engine, ability to save searches, and receive email notifications of new listings, LandWatch.com helps consumers find the property that is right for them.
"Jones Lang LaSalle is a worldwide leader in real estate services and their recreational land program offers some of the most beautiful recreational properties in the country," said Satbir Khanuja, Vice President of Marketing for SecondSpace. "We are thrilled to be partnering with them to help consumers find their perfect rural retreat and to help brokers reach the broadest range of U.S. buyers and those investing in the U.S. from abroad."
