USA Home Search available
now on Ebby Halliday web site
The Ebby Halliday,
Realtors web site, ebby.com,
has launched USA Home
Search to help consumers find
a new residence anywhere in
the United States.
In addition to 40,000 homes
listed by Ebby Halliday,
Realtors and the NTREIS
(North Texas Real Estate
Information Service) multiple
listing service, ebby.com fea-
tures approximately 100,000
homes through the USA
Home Search.
‘This national home search
is a wonderful new service for
area clients,” says Petey
Parker, director of Ebby
Relocation Services. “All that
is required for a national
home search is going to the
Ebby web site, clicking on
‘USA Home Search’ and
answering a few simple ques-
tions, such as city and state,
number of bedrooms and a
price range.
“Another click brings view-
ers thumbnail photos of hous-
es, descriptions and links to
email the listing agent. And
this is for cities throughout
the country. USA Home
Search is a bona fide treasure
trove for corporate transfer-
ees as well.”
Too often, consumers mov-
ing to another area select a
real estate professional arbi-
trarily, rather than obtaining a
reliable recommendation.
“By helping local con-
sumers begin their search at
home, we can provide valu-
able early information to a
qualified real estate company
and associate at the destina-
tion, a service that can make a
significant positive difference
in the entire relocation experi-
ence. It’s a decision that’s too
important to leave to chance,”
says Parker.
‘This process provides a
level of accountability and cus-
tomer advocacy that is often
missing in our business,” she
adds. “By assisting area home
buyers who are moving to
other areas or looking to pur-
chase vacation homes in other
areas, we can facilitate that
experience from start to fin-
ish.
“And through our RELO
affiliation, we are able to
engage the assistance of the
top real estate firms across
the country to work on behalf
of our outbound customers.”
Ebby Haliday Relocation
Services consistently receives
recognition and nominations
from professional relocation
organizations such as RELO.
The RELO/USA Home
Search staff includes: Merry
Shuck, Outgoing Referral
Coordinator;
Dennis
Coleman, Incoming Referral
Coordinator; and Pamela
Young, E-Commerce
Coordinator.
