Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel Extensively Upgrades Its Full-Service Consumer Website
Birmingham, Michigan, May 28, 2009 Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel (CBWM) announced today the new version of its website at www.weirmanuel.com. The site has a fresh, new design and a host of new features to make it the most user-friendly real estate search site in Southeast Michigan.
"We undertook an exhaustive study to find out what consumers wanted - especially those in their 20's and 30's, who use the internet as their primary information source," stated Kelly Sweeney, CEO of CBWM. "We're excited to offer them a fully-evolved one-stop real estate site with more than 60,000 local properties, and hundreds of thousands of national properties."
The Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel website has always been the "go-to" real estate site for consumers, with features like "live chat", virtual tours, mortgage calculation tools, and more. Now, a number of new features have been added, such as:
- an intuitive home search
- a "what's my home worth?" tool
- large photos of homes in slideshow view
- upgraded mapping to locate homes
- a front page news scroller updated with the latest real estate information
- a new feature called "My Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel" where visitors can create their own portfolio of homes and information
The site also offers how-to articles; e.g. first-time buyer tools, foreclosure advice, advantages of buying versus renting. Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel's property management division is also featured on the site, for those who plan to lease their homes, or want to lease one.
"The website is continuously evolving," said Sweeney. "We're adding a feature soon where web visitors will be able to rate the service of agents and rate the homes they see.
"Our goal was to build a site where consumers could find everything they needed to make their real estate search absolutely turnkey." said Sweeney. "The experience of buying or selling your home shouldn't be overwhelming: it should be enjoyable - even fun -- and that was our goal in redeveloping our site. I think we've accomplished that."
