First National Brokerage to Provide Foreclosed Home Listings With Detailed Information for Buyers
EMERYVILLE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/08/08 -- ZipRealty (www.ziprealty.com) (NASDAQ: ZIPR)
today announced it is the first national residential real estate brokerage
to offer foreclosure home data that is compared against local Multiple
Listing Services to omit inaccurate and outdated listings. All foreclosures
listed on ZipRealty.com include the same detailed property information,
including photos that the Company publishes for other MLS-listed
properties.
Homebuyers can now search for foreclosed homes, or omit these homes from
their searches. Foreclosure listings are available in more than 30 major
metropolitan areas on ZipRealty's Web site. The Company is the nation's
largest online-based, full-service real estate brokerage.
"It's tough to turn on the radio or the television these days without
hearing someone hawking 'foreclosure bargains,' but more often than not,
these lists are outdated or inaccurate, including homes where the owner
might have simply missed a few payments or that are already under
contract," explains ZipRealty president and CEO Patrick Lashinsky. "We
wanted to make sure that the data we offer interested buyers matches what's
actually available and has as much information as they need to decide
whether it's a consideration in their home search process."
