and sellers, provides immediate access to wealth of information
SOMERSET, NJ (June 29, 2005) - Recognizing the rapidly evolving needs of homebuyers and sellers in today’s real estate market, Prudential New Jersey Properties has launched an innovative, new Website. The online address remains www.PruNewJersey.com.
The new Website offers access to more than 14,000 available property listings throughout New Jersey, truly making the Website a one-stop resource.
“Today’s real estate clients are looking for direct access to information on the real estate market, available properties and communities, and our new Website offers all of this,” says Chris Brown, co-president of Prudential New Jersey Properties. “From the site’s ease of navigation to the enhanced virtual tours, both sellers and buyers will be impressed by the range of services employed to achieve their real estate goals.”
One of the primary benefits of the site is the “Property Watch” feature, which provides instant notifications to buyers when properties that meet their specific criteria become available. Buyers can make the criteria as general or particular as they like, and can choose to opt in or out of the feature at any time.
“Our technology team has worked tremendously hard to develop a site that meets the needs of our technologically-savvy consumers,” says William O. Keleher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Prudential New Jersey Properties. “In addition to being a great tool and resource, it is visually appealing and uncluttered, making it extremely easy to quickly access information.”
Visitors to www.PruNewJersey.com can also receive reports on local school districts and view profiles of New Jersey counties and towns.
The popular 360-degree virtual tours have become more interactive, allowing visitors to print brochures or e-mail listing information to a friend or family member. Buyers can also maintain an online file of favorite listings.
Prudential New Jersey Properties newspaper and magazine advertising, as well as direct mail pieces, brochures, and all other promotional materials, are fully integrated with the Website. Listing numbers, which can be entered online, appear on most promotional resources, letting consumers gain immediate access to all of the property’s detailed information and images.
