Word On The Street

Peter Drucker once said “quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the customer gets out of it." I’m an evangelist for Union Street Media, and the real estate industry. I work day in and out to make sure we’re creating a product that prioritizes our client's needs. By understanding a realtor’s day-to-day, I can help design efficiencies around it through our software. On top of that I have an extensive background in marketing campaign and strategy management. If I can save a client time and money - while growing their business with successful digital campaigns - we’ve done something important.

Recent Real Estate Website Launches

We’ve had the privilege at Union Street Media of launching several new real estate websites.

http://www.asheville4seasons.com[/caption%5D	Asheville 4 Seasons Asheville 4 Seasons Realty is located in Asheville, NC. This firm is brokered by two women with four additional agents. The team went out on their own because they wanted to control their brand and customer service. They wanted a website that integrated the Asheville MLS directly into their website. The new site will help promote their brand and give them the ability to rank better in search engines.
http://www.theobergteam.com[/caption%5D	The Oberg Team The Oberg Team is part of the Coldwell Banker Carlson real estate office in Stowe, Vermont. This team has branched out of their office website and developed a unique and personally branded website. Their new site will allow them to grow over time without having to worry about limitations. They wanted a professional website that was easy to use and update. The team site will allow them to be more aggressive with internet marketing and content creation to help capture more market share in the Stowe, Vermont real estate market.
http://www.lakedunmorevtrealestate.com[/caption%5D	At Home Team The At Home Team is part of the Century 21 Jack Associates office. They are based in Middlebury, Vermont and focus on the lake Dunmore area. This team of three agents wanted a site that would allow them to grow over time and increase performance in their market. Their new site allows them to focus on creating resources for potential clients about the surrounding area. The web based content management system is easy to use and gives them control over their website. With a professional design, they can be confident that site visitors will be happy and find what they are looking for.
http://www.sandyburkenbush.com[/caption%5D	Sandy Berkenbush – Agent Sandy Berkenbush is an owner at Stone Ridge Properties, another Union Street Media site. As one of the top producers at her firm, she needed a website that would reflect that and her market. Sandy needed a website that would be easy for her to update, add pages and testimonials. The site also features local community videos and allows users to sign up for her newsletter easily. One of the advantages to her new Union Street Media website is that it has integrated MLS data so Sandy doesn’t have to input it herself.
http://www.sharoncarrollrealtor.com[/caption%5D	Sharon Carroll – Agent Sharon Carroll is a Keller Williams agent who specializes in real estate in and around the south shore of Boston. Sharon has access to the latest technology that will allow her clients to easily search properties from her website.
http://www.ludlowokemorealestate.com[/caption%5D	Ellison Properties Ellison Properties is a small office located in Ludlow, Vermont. They’ve been around for a long time and focus on residential properties. Ellison Properties needed a more robust website for their team. They wanted to be able to integrate their MLS listings to enhance their SEO efforts. The site is also beneficial as it is easy to update and edit which will help them spend more time selling. At the end of the day they wanted a well designed, reliable website that represented them online and helped differentiate them from their competitors.
