Real Estate Online Service Listing Book
GREENSBORO, N.C.–Cyberhomes.com, one of North America’s most venerable real estate brands – and at 15, still universally admired as one of the best websites for helping consumers navigate the complex process of buying and selling homes – is being acquired by Listingbook LLC, a leading provider of tools for real estate brokers and agents.
Established in 1995 during the infancy of online real estate, Cyberhomes.com quickly became – and to this day, remains – a go-to site for consumers looking to buy or sell homes in markets throughout the United States. As recently as 2009, the site was named the “Best Real Estate Website” by the National Association of Real Estate Editors as part of its annual real estate journalism competition.
With its acquisition of the acclaimed site, Greensboro, N.C.-based Listingbook is bucking a formidable trend: Despite one of the worst real estate recessions on record, this small but fast-growing company is recording double-digit growth – and that was before its announcement that it was acquiring Cyberhomes.com.
Cyberhomes.com, widely considered one of the industry’s premier real estate buying and selling sites, was one of the first national sites to offer homes for sale nationally some 15 years ago.
“The acquisition of Cyberhomes.com will enable Listingbook to generate more leads for our broker and agent clients and help them generate higher profits,” said Todd John, chief operating officer of Listingbook.
Listingbook has quietly built a solid reputation as the marketing partner of choice for real estate brokers and agents, along the way recording double-digit growth every year it has been in business – this during the worst real estate recession in history. In fact, in just slightly more than two years, the company has expanded its client base from one Multiple Listing Service (MLS) client representing 4,000 agents, to today serving more than 40 MLS clients and in excess of 140,000 agents now have active Listingbook accounts and more than 1 million buyers and sellers.
“To say we’re proud and honored to acquire Cyberhomes is a vast understatement,” John said. “To all of us at Listingbook, it’s truly an ideal fit: Cyberhomes built a solid reputation by providing a great consumer website that drives clients to real estate professionals. Listingbook, meanwhile, is a real estate-centric business model backed by the industry’s leading customer management system that helps brokers and agents gain more leads, sell more homes and, simply put, enjoy greater profits.”
John noted that Cyberhomes.com will play an instrumental role as Listingbook further builds out its comprehensive national and local advertising platform.
