Missoula, January 22, 2008 – Montana home shoppers no longer have to brave cold weather to gather information on for-sale properties, at least the ones listed by Windermere agents.  Windermere Real Estate, of Missoula Montana, today announced it will launch Goomzee's text-message marketing solution, Realty Connect, to reach consumers on the go for up to 400 of its property listings.  Prospective home buyers can now interact, at the point-of-interest, right on their mobile phones.

Windermere is among the growing number of partners nationwide to provide this valuable marketing and sales tool to its agents and offer them the competitive advantage they need in today's challenging marketplace.  Using Realty Connect, sales professionals place a text code at the property, in their ads, and on their marketing flyers to generate buyer interest.  Prospective buyers send this code as a text message to Goomzee's nationwide text-in number, 44133, and instantly receive relevant property information (including photos) at the point-of-interest.  At the same time, a high quality lead is delivered to the sales professional (and their team) via email and / or text message for follow up.

"This is a timely solution that provides our team with a unique and cost-effective tool to market their properties and generate excellent opportunities to sell.  In our analysis of mobile solutions, it was clear that Goomzee delivered the best experience for the broker, the sales professional and prospective buyers," said John Brauer – Broker/Manager of Windermere Missoula.  He went on to say, "Realty Connect helps us advance our core philosophy of recruit the best people, give them the best tools and create a professional buyer and seller experience."

"Our marketing platform (Realty Connect) helps sales professionals generate high quality sales opportunities and relationships with prospective buyers.  Windermere's sales professionals and Western Montana buyers will benefit from the use of our exclusive Mobile Virtual Tour (MVT) and Auto Attendant functionality.  MVT creates an optimal buyer experience by sending photos directly to the cell phone in a single, animated slideshow format.  Auto Attendant allows the sales professional to automate a timely and personalized follow up to buyer inquiries and thus the likelihood of a relationship," said Jordan Lind, VP of Business Development at Goomzee.
