RealBiz Media Group, Inc. Provides Leading Technology for Modern Real Estate Agents
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) January 30, 2015 -- RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RBIZ) today announced, based on industry research, its recently launched products provide the technology that real estate agents need to enhance their businesses.
RealBiz Media’s suite of products capitalizes on current real estate market trends, which suggest mobile applications and video content are becoming most important to agents and homeowning customers alike.
According to research conducted by the National Association of Realtors, in 2013, 92 percent of homebuyers used the Internet in their search, with over half saying that going online was the first step in the home buying process. Additionally, 45 percent of home owner customers used a mobile website or application to search for a home in 2013, with 22 percent of mobile searchers reporting they found the home they ultimately purchased with a mobile application. It is also anticipated that these percentages will continue to rise in coming years.
Another study, the Google & Compete Home Shopper Survey, 2011, reported home shoppers use video content to find out more about a specific community (86%), tour the inside of a home (70%), obtain general information (54%) and more. Video is being used by homeowning customers to satisfy multiple research needs.
From an agent’s position, video marketing is proving to be one of the most effective ways to increase SEO, lead generation and build brand identity, resulting in a collective hike in profits by 40 percent from video marketing alone.
Given these statistics, RealBiz Media is poised to provide the technology and products agents need to thrive in the real estate market. The Ezflix mobile app is the only app to automatically display an agent’s listings pulled from his or her local MLS. Agents can also create unique video content for home listings, right from their own mobile device and share it instantly with clients, his or her preferred websites and social pages as well as the company’s consumer portal, NestBuilder.com. Moreover, Exflix allows agents to create and store local video-based stories and cameos to introduce listings, which can then be attached and sent to clients at a touch of a button.
In addition, agents can manage their video content and notify home owner customers of new or criteria-matching listings through RealBiz’s agent platform known as NestBuilder Agent. The NestBuilder online platform makes the home owning process more efficient for both the customer and agent.
The recently launched Home and Away Club, a unique rewards program for real estate agents, and the completion and availability of RealBiz Media’s products across the majority of mobile operating systems have allowed the company to align with many of the larger companies in the industry. The acceptance of the company’s technology within the industry is occurring at a rapid rate. RealBiz Media expects its suite of products and advanced technology, in tandem with industry trends, to lead the company to over $10 million in recurring revenue in 2015, with faster growth during 2016.
