SARATOGA, CA - Alain Pinel Realtors (APR) today announces it is joining forces with the popular neighborhood social network Nextdoor as well as real estate digital marketing leader Adwerx. These two partnerships will allow APR and its agents to better engage homebuyers and sellers within certain neighborhoods through Nextdoor, while also reaching homebuyers and sellers through a targeted social and display ad campaign.
“Nextdoor is well-known within neighborhoods across the U.S., and we are excited this partnership will get neighbors talking about APR listings, as word of mouth is key to any property marketing campaign,” said APR President Mike Hulme. “At the same time, Adwerx is bringing new technology to APR that will allow us to launch sophisticated digital advertising campaigns that target clients geographically. These partnerships not only bring tremendous value to our agents, but also to homebuyers and sellers.”
A key social connector in more than 80 percent of neighborhoods nationwide, Nextdoor will feature APR listings in the private digital community of that listing. Similar to the traditional “just listed” postcards received in the mail, neighbors will now be able to view listings instantly through Nextdoor, and be aware of these listings before the general public. These neighborhood listings will automatically appear to all members of the social network within the listed home’s neighborhood, making them the first to know about a sale that could affect their own home’s value. APR agents will also be able to connect with neighbors through their own Nextdoor Business Pages, which will include the agent’s profile, contact information and testimonials. A major influence on purchasing decisions, these types of interactions give buyers and sellers the opportunity to get to know APR agents.
APR’s partnership with Adwerx takes the client experience a step beyond the competition in Northern California’s real estate market as well. Unlike more traditional property listing platforms, APR’s sellers will now have their homes automatically enrolled in a targeted social and display ad campaign. As such, their homes will be presented to prospective buyers at their earliest sign of interest via Facebook and Instagram, as well as key media websites like CNN and The New York Times. This targeted digital marketing technology will give those working with APR a competitive advantage over those listing with other Realtors in the Bay Area.
With these two partnerships, APR continues to bring valuable, market leading resources to its home buyers and sellers.
