Affiliated Brokers Continue to Give LeadRouter Rave Reviews

March 12, 2012 // Franchising.com // PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Realogy Corporation, a leading provider of real estate and relocation services, today announced that its proprietary LeadRouterSM online lead management system had a 40% year-over-year increase in the volume of leads delivered directly to brokers and sales associates affiliated with its residential real estate franchise brands – Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker®, ERA®, Sotheby’s International Realty® – including offices owned by its brokerage subsidiary, NRT LLC. In 2011, LeadRouter delivered 1.4 million leads in 2011, up from 1 million in 2010.

"The dramatic success of our LeadRouter system in 2011 speaks volumes not only about the effectiveness of the underlying technology, it clearly validates the comprehensive Web marketing strategies employed by our world-class brands," said Alex Perriello, president and CEO of the Realogy Franchise Group. "With approximately 90% of home buyers initiating their property search on the Web today, LeadRouter is the right product at the right time for our affiliated brokers and agents."

LeadRouter was first launched in 2004 as the first Web-based product of its kind and is still available only to Realogy-affiliated brokers and agents. LeadRouter captures leads from both homebuyers and sellers and forwards them instantly as both voice and text messages to agents' mobile devices, enabling them to respond to consumers within minutes of receiving the request. The LeadRouter platform distributes leads from more than 20,000 offline and online sources, including Realogy's brand Websites and listing distribution partners as well as phone inquiries and walk-ins. LeadRouter is unique in the way that its intelligent routing and customizable business rules enable brokers to manage all of their incoming leads through a single, integrated platform according to their individual management preferences.

Realogy affiliated brokers across the country continue to rave about LeadRouter's business impact:

"LeadRouter is a huge differentiator for our company. Before we joined Better Homes and Gardens we searched everywhere and there is nothing like it in the industry. Response time is the most important factor in converting leads and it is a huge advantage that LeadRouter connects our leads with our agents immediately. Our sellers love it, and we consider it vital to our success."

"With almost 90% of home-buyers beginning their property search online, it is important that leads reach a knowledgeable sales agent quickly and efficiently. We have found LeadRouter to be an excellent tool in accomplishing this for us, while also giving us the opportunity to see which lead sources are most effective for us."
