Los Angeles, CA, April 22, 2008 - Fidelity Assets is an Authorized Google Adwords Reseller and a specialist in real estate lead generation, and helped 2 Coldwell Banker agents in the Los Angeles Area build and manage their own lead generation programs. The results were phenomenal, and both agents saw a strong return on their investment within 90 days.

“Coldwell Banker gave us two weeks and $650 budgets for each client and said Go!” says Andy Steuer, Fidelity Assets’ CEO, and author the book of “Internet Marketing Secrets for Real Estate Agents and Brokers.” “As we do with all of our clients, we built and launched the online advertising campaigns within 48 hours, implementing our highly targeted traffic generation solutions combined with our proven lead capture and lead management platform. Within hours, both clients were receiving exclusive buyer and seller leads at a cost lower than they can generate in any other medium in the world.”

One of the agents, Jason Squire of Team Squire in Studio City, CA said that they were happily overwhelmed the first few days. “We got 3 to 5 leads per day, not expecting such an instant response. They were so darn good, too. 60-70% had accurate phone numbers. Over 80% had accurate emails addresses.”

The second agent team, Kelley and Todd Miller of Los Angeles saw immediate results as well. “Up to 88% had accurate information.” says Kelley Miller. “The fact the lead notification also included details about what they were looking to buy, how soon they were looking to transact, and how much they were willing to spend was an added bonus.”

“We focused the agents’ online advertising campaign to the geographical areas where the clients work,” says Jack Sekowski, Fidelity Assets’ Senior Account Manager. “If an area wasn’t getting many searches, we replaced it with another area that was. The campaigns were monitored and optimized several times during those two weeks with ever improving results.”

The leads ranged from a $250K condo in Burbank to a $2 million single family home in Westwood, coming from web searchers from as far as Australia, Dubai and the UK. “Our goal was to get them in front of as many searches as possible,” says Andy Steuer. “With the weak dollar, buyers from all over the world are eager to buy homes in the US.”

In those two weeks, Team Squire received 72 leads at an average cost per lead (CPL) of $8.82, and Kelley and Todd Miller received 64 leads at average CPL of $9.89. “Within a month, we were in escrow for a $500K+ home,” says Jason Squire. “We’re currently working with 3 active buyers and have numerous leads in the pipeline. Kelley reveals that “We are actively working with one client who is moving into the area. She and her husband are looking for a multimillion dollar home and are in the process of narrowing down their options within the next two weekends. There are several other good leads in the pipeline as well which we hope to be converting in the months ahead.”

All this is no surprise to Andy Steuer. “We align our business with our clients by helping them build their own lead generation solution using lead generation best practices. This way, agents don’t have to build out the technology themselves, knowing that their exclusive buyer and seller lead costs are typically within the $7-10 range. From my experience, these results are not the exception. Jim Young, a semi-retired real estate agent from Phoenix who has been with us for less than two months and had a limited budget to spend on Google wrote to us the other day saying, I thought you would like to know I opened my second escrow off your leads this morning. Total Commission Earned: $7,452.00 with Total Cost To Date: $ 287.74 ROI – 25 to 1 Hot-Damn!”

Unique Free Service Is the Easiest Way for Real Estate Agents to Publish Information to the Web, Generate Internet Traffic and Capture Leads

LOS ANGELES, CA–(MARKET WIRE)–Mar 28, 2006 — Fidelity Assets, the first company to provide search engine marketing services for real estate professionals, today announced the launch of My Client Builder, the first communications suite built on a blogging platform customized for real estate professionals. My Client Builder is available to real estate agents free of charge at http://www.fidelityassets.com.
“My Client Builder is the blog for real estate agents, designed to help them communicate in real-time with hundreds of prospects at once,” explains Andy Steuer, Fidelity Assets CEO. “Our unique service makes it easy for real estate agents to provide their prospects with the inside track on housing trends in their local market, open house listings, and other local news that will establish them as leaders in their community. Publishing to My Client Builder is as easy as sending an email, yet without the trap of spam filters. Additionally, real estate agents can use this space to leverage their referral network. Prospects will be impressed, and will appreciate knowing that their real estate agent is proactive and knowledgeable about their local market, and partners will reciprocate referrals. Everybody wins.”

My Client Builder is a custom built publishing platform, or blog, that is designed to help real estate professionals grow their sphere of influence by communicating with home buyers and sellers who are actively searching for real estate on the Internet.

In addition to publishing local announcements, real estate agents can showcase their listings by uploading pictures and listing information as frequently as they would like. When a home buyer or seller visits an agent’s blog, they are compelled to enter their contact information, which is then added to the agent’s built-in email list manager. Each time an agent updates their blog, an alert is sent to all subscribers with a link to the new post, helping the agent to generate repeat traffic. With My Client Builder, it has never been easier for real estate agents to increase their visibility to new prospects, while simultaneously maintaining relationships with their existing client base and referral network.

Each agent’s blog in My Client Builder is equipped with an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. When an agent posts a new message, whether it’s a new property listing, article or announcement, it is syndicated in the form of a link to hundreds of other real estate related websites around the Internet, which then display that message as fresh content, creating a “distributed website” effect. When users click these links, they are directed to the agent’s blog, generating free organic web traffic for the agent. When a home buyer or seller arrives on the agent’s blog, lead capture forms and an email subscription form help the real estate agent capture more leads so they can effectively and efficiently build their online community.

Real estate agents will also be able to create Podcasts of their listings, which can be syndicated to iTunes and downloaded onto iPods and other mobile devices, so prospects can carry and view the listings anytime. Furthermore, each real estate agent’s blog on My Client Builder is automatically updated daily with at least 5 real estate news articles focused on the American home buyer and seller.

In addition to all of the free features built into My Client Builder, users can step up their marketing efforts by subscribing to Fidelity Assets’ Traffic Sender service, a customized pay-per-click marketing service. With Traffic Sender, Fidelity Assets builds a customized marketing campaign on the major search engines, which guarantees a pre-determined number of visitors to My Client Builder. Combining My Client Builder and Fidelity Assets’ Traffic Sender service is the most efficient and effective way that real estate agents can generate new leads and build their business online.
