REALTORS® Reach More Consumers with New NAR Strategic Alliance

WASHINGTON, March 05, 2008 - The National Association of Realtors® has established a strategic alliance that will help Realtors® identify potential home buyers and sellers more efficiently. infoUSA Inc. joins NAR’s roster of REALTOR Benefits® partners as a leading provider of sales leads, mailing lists and database marketing tools. 

According to the NAR 2007 Member Profile, Realtors® receive a median of 25 percent of their business from previous customers and clients, which means that three out of every four clients come from new leads. The new alliance offers NAR members an exclusive discount with Salesgenie.com™ and Salesgenie.com/Lite™, two Internet-based subscription services available from infoUSA. Those services provide access to extensive consumer demographics and business data, allowing agents to target their marketing efforts to customers most likely to need or want their services.

“The real estate market is competitive, and NAR aims to enhance our members’ business success with the addition of Salesgenie to the REALTOR Benefits® Program,” said Bob Goldberg, NAR senior vice president of marketing, business development and commercial services. “Realtors® build communities one client at a time, and infoUSA’s products will help our members connect with buyers, sellers and commercial investors who need their help.”

infoUSA powers Salesgenie.com™’s 12 databases, which contain comprehensive information on 14 million U.S. businesses and 210 million consumers. Salesgenie.com/Lite™ provides access to a limited use subscription at a lower price.

Tom McSweeney, executive vice president of Salesgenie.com, said, “We are very pleased to join forces with NAR. Real estate professionals need a continual source of information to effectively build their business, and in today’s competitive market, Salesgenie.com is an especially valuable tool. With Salesgenie.com, NAR members can get all the sales leads they need, when they need them.
