eNeighborhoods products and CEO are Recognized for Real Estate Industry Impact by REALTOR® Magazine

Boca Raton, FL (PRWeb) December 12, 2006 -- The December 2006 REALTOR® Magazine includes a number of lists, two of which feature eNeighborhoods. CEO Stu Siegel was named one of 15 who made an impact on the real estate industry in 2006. eNeighborhoods' InstaLead Marketing System for automatic lead generation was also featured on the magazine's list of Top 10 products, based on reader requests.

The magazine noted that Siegel built both an online real estate business and a philanthropic legacy on his belief in the power of community. eNeighborhoods was described as the first and still the largest community-based marketing site that is connecting some 400,000 practitioners to owners and renters with innovations in lead generation software and personalized CMAs.

"The industry recognition is always great to receive," said Siegel. "But it's especially gratifying to see the high level of interest in eNeighborhoods lead generation and real estate marketing tools. Savvy real estate professionals around the nation are staying ahead of the market by renewing their focus on marketing, lead management and fundamental business development activities.

"We'll continue to expand our product offerings in 2007 with new direct mail and marketing tools that busy agents can use every day to win business. Agents looking for the competitive edge will continue to find it with eNeighborhoods."

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has recently expanded its partnership with eNeighborhoods under NAR's REALTOR BenefitsSM Program to include the InstaLeads Marketing System. To introduce the System, a special offer is available on the entire suite of eNeighborhoods products, including up to 58 free leads with no startup costs. The offer includes the full line of eNeighborhoods real estate marketing tools, including CMA, Maps / Aerials, Neighborhood Reports and more.

In October, eNeighborhoods was ranked Number 153 on Deloitte's 2006 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. Rankings are based on the percentage of revenue growth achieved from 2001-2005, in which eNeighborhoods grew 1,240 percent.
