I have been involved with real estate internet advertising for about 10 years.
I first got involved with internet advertising at Citysearch.com. My first exposure to the real estate industry was working to develop a section of the site totally devoted to real estate. It was here my passion for real estate first began. At Citysearch I held positions in Sales, Sales Management and Training.
Later on, Citysearch figured out we needed to have listing content if we were going to have a sticky site, so Citysearch partnered with the company that prints The Real Estate Book. Home in this magazine appear on www.realestatebook.com, as well as many other popular real estate websites. This partnership turned into me working as National Sales Manager of E-Business for The Real Estate Book, and other titles the company prints including The New Home Finder, Unique Homes and the Apartment Finder. It was very rewarding to teach real estate professionals how to merge what they were doing in print on to the web.
After working there for five years, it was time to get back into the true dot com environment, where my heart really belongs. I believe Zillow is leading the charge in the online space today and am so excited to be working with the real estate industry as a Zillow employee. I work out of Chicago, IL in Industy Relations for the company, working among Real Estate Professionals to evangelize Zillow.
