EMERYVILLE, CA--(Marketwire - June 11, 2008) - TurnHere,
Inc., the leading online video
solutions platform, today announced
an agreement with Weichert,
Realtors, one of the nation's largest privately held real estate
brokerages. Through the agreement, TurnHere will produce a new series of
broadcast-quality online videos that offer prospective buyers an inside
look at Weichert's most sought-after properties in the NY-metro area.
"Our partnership with TurnHere and their talented network of filmmakers allows us to
optimize the Weichert home-searching experience and reach out to a wider
range of potential home buyers," said Michael Montsko, president of
Weichert Lead Network. "Online video brings a new dimension to our
marketing efforts and enhances our ability to showcase Weichert properties,
their surrounding neighborhoods and the expertise of our sales associates."
The initial series of TurnHere videos will be shown on Weichert.com, with plans to expand
distribution to The New York Times, Cablevision's Real Estate channel and
YouTube. The partnership will enable Weichert sales associates to harness
the dynamic and engaging nature of online video, and will provide
prospective buyers with in-depth looks at top property listings that move
well beyond traditional photos. TurnHere has significant experience in the
real estate vertical and has worked with several major real estate
agencies, including the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
"Weichert is one of America's premier real estate brokerages and we look
forward to providing their sales associates with an innovative means of
showcasing their homes to prospective buyers," said Morgan Brown, director
of marketing for TurnHere. "Video is an ideal medium for real estate --
unlike traditional photographs or virtual tours, it gives potential buyers
a comprehensive look at different properties and enables associates to
fully capture their listings with compelling and engaging value-added
content."
TurnHere's founder and CEO, Bradley Inman, has a deep real estate
background. An accomplished entrepreneur, Inman previously founded Inman
News, a leading source of independent real estate news, as well as
