MADISON, N.J., May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ERA Real Estate, a
global franchising leader, today announced a relationship with
HomeAdvisor, a leading digital marketplace evolving the way
homeowners connect with service professionals. The collaboration
allows clients to access HomeAdvisor's network of top-rated and
reviewed service professionals in their area through a self-service
website or a dedicated call center.
ERA is one of the first
real estate companies to do this network-wide, creating a concierge
experience that includes an innovative self-service website for all
affiliated brokers connected to ERA's Zap® platform.
ERA is the first real estate partner to comprehensively
integrate a HomeAdvisor concierge experience to all participating
brokers.
HomeAdvisor has hundreds of thousands of professionals in their
network and can be found across the
United States. Whether a client is in need of a painter,
landscaper, or contractor, they can access professionals through
the concierge sites with no additional cost to them. Brokers and
their independent agents could receive a referral fee every time a
client makes an appointment through the concierge site.
"Our objective is to help the agent maintain their relationship
with the client beyond the transaction, and put the agent at the
center of the home ownership lifecycle," said Simon Chen, CEO of ERA Real Estate. "Agents have
always made local recommendations to clients on services and
products, but now we can funnel all of that client activity through
a website that allows the broker and agent to stay valuable and
visible years after the transaction. These connections could
translate into more referrals, more ancillary income, and most
importantly more repeat business."
The collaboration with HomeAdvisor is just one component of
ERA® Beyond, a community of national and local
companies committed to providing the ERA® network of
affiliated brokers and agents with products and services focused on
productivity, profitability, and delivering value for consumers.
ERA is leveraging the size and scale of its brand to deliver value
and one-stop convenience so agents and brokers can better provide
comprehensive service.
