AUSTIN, TEXAS (January 10, 2011) – Keller Williams Realty announced today that it will launch the real estate industry’s first complete lead-to-close business solution for every agent in the company, eEdge. The first phase of eEdge, voted on and ratified by the company’s Associate Leadership Councils, will officially launch at the company’s annual convention in February 2011.

While many agents spend their day logging into several different systems to manage their business, eEdge will be the first fully-integrated front and back-end platform for real estate professionals. This single platform will enable agents to:

• Funnel and maintain all their contacts, leads and clients into one database
• Create, print and send custom marketing and sales material
• Manage their Web site and their listings

Keller Williams Realty was recently given the title of highest buyer satisfaction in real estate for the third year in a row.

J.D. Power and Associates conducts a yearly study and ranks real estate companies accordingly. Keller Williams company objectives include looking for the “win-win,” seeing a house as more than a house, and focusing in on client’s needs.

“We see this honor as demonstration of our company philosophy that it is the agent’s brand that matters most and no amount of money spent on advertising can replace the influence and reputations our agents have in their local communities. Our associates have earned this on their own, by building relationships in their communities.” – Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams Realty.

Buyers think Keller Williams is pretty great! We tend to agree.

In October’s “this month in real estate,” there are some interesting things going on that will affect the real estate markets. Here is Keller Williams’ update. Have a look!

An article was recently posted in Loveland about real estate. The real estate post articulated the increase in foreclosures for Larimer county.

We’ve been watching Loveland real estate and in the county for years and we found this article insignificant.

The article stated that foreclosure filings in the county rose over July-August from 156 to 169. This is a real estate fact. However, this fact can be attributed to simple variance in the real estate market.

To put things into perspective, there are 5,697 active listings in Larimer county currently advertised for sale in our MLS.* 203 of those are bank owned/REO properties. This equates to just 3.5% of the real estate market for the county.

Loveland is not far off of county numbers with 4.3% bank owned listings. Loveland real estate currently holds 1,372 active listings for sale. This is yet another example showing how Loveland real estate values have
not been depressed as much as other regions of the nation.

It should be noted that not all properties owned by banks are necessarily being listed.
