Andy Hodes - Chattanooga Real Estate Internet Marketing Expert

2008 Nov 20th

Andy Hodes of Keller Williams Realty Recognized for Internet Marketing Excellence

Chattanooga, TN October 2008 — Nationally renowned real estate marketing and technology speaker and REALTOR.com Vice President, Max Pigman, has presented to Andy Hodes of Keller Williams Realty the “real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence”.  The Award of Excellence recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing services on behalf of their buyers and sellers.

“There are always some real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other agents by doing a little more for their sellers.  In particular; when the home they are selling is placed on a well trafficked site such as the 1st ranked REALTOR.com, even simple efforts like having more photos displayed, crafting better descriptions or adding a full motion video, can make a home stand out from competing properties,” says Max Pigman, Vice President of Realtor.com.

The excellence award was presented to Andy Hodes at a recent real estate marketing and technology seminar that demonstrated cutting edge techniques for leveraging the Internet and technology in real estate marketing.

“The extra steps agents like Andy Hodes are taking on behalf of their clients is the reason we thought it worthwhile to call out the effort we have seen these agents make online and to recognize them for providing theses added value services, say Mr. Pigman.

REALTOR.com is just one of the many ways Andy Hodes is leveraging recent trends in home buyer online behavior to his clients benefit.

Home sellers interested in finding out how to have their home marketed on REALTOR.com should contact Andy Hodes at 423-664-1818 or email Andy@AndyHodes.com.
