Real Estate Agents Tout Success With HomeGain’s BuyerLink™ Marketing Program

HomeGain Member and Realtor® Mitch Ribak of The eHomes Realty Network in Florida on track to sell 350 homes this year with the help of HomeGain marketing program, BuyerLink™

Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) July 20, 2009 — HomeGain®, a leading website that connects real estate professionals with home buyers and sellers, today announced, in anticipation of the HomeGain Live Nation Real Estate Forum on August 3rd in San Francisco numerous successes of its agent and broker members across the U.S. using HomeGain’s BuyerLink™ per-per-visit marketing program.

“HomeGain’s success is tied to our agents’ success,” stated Louis Cammarosano, General Manager at HomeGain. “As part of our semi-annual review of customer satisfaction, loyalty and performance, we are delighted to announce the achievements of our agents.”

Mitch Ribak of The eHomes Realty Network and Tropical Realty of Suntree in Florida exemplifies HomeGain member success with BuyerLink. Mr. Ribak is on track to sell 350 homes in 2009 with the help of the BuyerLink marketing program. The Mitch Ribak Real Estate Team sells over $40 million in real estate annually and is ranked as the #1 Buyer Brokerage in Brevard County.

“BuyerLink has helped me increase my business revenues year after year – it brings in over $110,000 per month,” said Mitch Ribak. “We get double the click-to-lead conversion rate using HomeGain versus Yahoo! and Google. We sold 280 homes last year and have already passed our home sales goal from last July. We expect to earn over one million dollars in commissions coming from BuyerLink this year. My ROI with BuyerLink is higher than any other marketing program I’ve tried and it has exceeded my expectations.”

Additional BuyerLink agent members also reported their success:

Debra Gravelle with RE/MAX Home Team Realty in Washington State noted: “I just calculated that I am now over $50,000 in commission from BuyerLink! That’s amazing considering a $600 a month budget.”

Steve Forbes of Exit Realty in Florida said: “I get two to three deals per month on average from BuyerLink and I usually see a return of $8,000-$10,000 on a $1,500 per month budget – that’s a huge ROI!”

Rosemary Mancuso of Keller Williams in Massachusetts reported: “Since September of 2008 I have spent $5,400 and have made back $72,355 in income just from BuyerLink. Plus, I have 24 home sales pending. HomeGain’s leads are very high quality and I rely on the traffic they send me.”

Ron Petzel of Realty Executives in Florida stated: “I get a 5-1 return on my dollar, which is why I continue to partner with HomeGain to reach new clients. I have gotten over 3300 leads from HomeGain over the past year, 1200 of which are still active. That shows it brings me business now and business for the future.”

HomeGain also recently inducted 17 members into its Diamond Club for AgentEvaluator®, recognizing HomeGain members who have earned more than $500,000 in lifetime commissions from using that product.
