This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
When you think of a realtor … it's probably not rentals that come to mind. Realtors are seen as the solution to housing in the sense of getting property moving. However, Rebecca Jensen realized this was leaving an important part of the property equation out. Already operating one of the most successful MLS sites in the west, Rebecca and her team launched a brand new site to serve the rental market … Property Pond.
Property Pond is open for anyone who has property to offer. It has become the ‘go to' site for anyone looking for rental properties....And it's so simple — anyone can submit rental inventory, which the employees carefully monitor. And the best part is the service is free...
Property Pond includes other helpful features, including the ability to search for properties within a favored school district or zip code. This is a service clients love and isn't something you'll find anywhere else. You can see the site's success in the amount of traffic. In the last 30 days it's had over 68,000 page views and 323,000 unique visitors with an average time on the site of 12 + minutes.
While the majority of the listings on Property Pond come from property managers and other sources, the site does include features specifically for realtors. They wanted to give quality rental information to professional real estate agents who could then help consumers with their housing needs.
Property Pond is designed so they can add in products and services as it makes sense. They've already got several in the works with more to come. Property Pond is there for realtors and others so they have the advantage of viewing themselves as the professional's solution to all property needs and empower them to be successful... It's one more way realtors can diversify, to become an essential part of the property equation...
