Realtors / Real Estate Agents

Become a Household Name as the Exclusive HOA Website Sponsor

That's right, exclusivity. Since you are paying the bill - You Own The Neighborhood - or at least the neighborhood website.

Obviously, a neighborhood will only have one official website, so when you become the exclusive sponsor, you will have a tremendous advantage over competing real estate agents. Although, other agents can market to "your" neighborhood with postcards and other mailings, you will stand out because you have something out of their reach. You are the one and only agent on the HOA website.

Your information (picture, contact info, link to your website, etc.) will be highly visible on the HOA website. Current and prospective residents WILL know who you are!

According to the Community Associations Institute:

An estimated 50 million Americans live in association-governed communities. Some 1.25 million people serve on community association boards, with another 300,000-plus serving as committee members.
About 6,000 to 8,000 new community associations are formed every year. This includes condominiums, cooperatives and planned communities. It is estimated that more than four in five housing starts during the past 5-8 years have been built as part of an association-governed community.
The estimated real estate value of the homes in all community associations is about $2 trillion, approximately 15 percent of the value of all U.S. residential real estate.

Cost Savings

Timely manual distribution of meeting minutes, HOA documents, and newsletters are a driving cost factor. While printed newsletters have been the norm (and local printers thank you), the web offers a wonderful alternative to publish newsletters on-line and eliminate printing, mailing, labeling, and postage costs.
