In late August this year CNP was contracted by Scott Williams Systems to support project management for his web properties and help facilitate the launch of a new Santa Barbara Real-estate portal; http://www.primevoyage.com/. The Prime Voyage project was well under way when the project manager had to step down and there was much to be done in a short amount of time. Well... with some changes here in personnel just as we began, I ended up taking this project on personally. Since September it has kept me pretty busy on top of wearing my many other hats. I am pleased to say this has been a great experience and it put me in the mix with some great new talent. In late October, Scott Williams held a successful seminar in Santa Barbara to nearly 200 relators were he released this great portal and his brain child of a unique set of home evaluation tools. It has so far been received with overwhelming enthusiasm.
I wanted to share a recient press release and let you know we are proud of this latest collaboration. There is talk of many great things to come on the 2008 horizon for this project and other Scott Williams web properties.
For Immediate Release |
Santa Barbara, CA, November 22, 2007 - Everyone is curious about how their home stacks up against the neighbors, whether they plan on selling or are just plain nosey (be honest - haven't you ever wondered?). Now, thanks to Scott Williams of Prime Voyage, people in 16 Santa Barbara neighborhoods have a highly reliable way of doing so. Many will point to an online tool called "Zillow" to do this, but even then factors like desirability of the location and condition of the property could only be reflected in the value if the owner wrote a healthy check for a professional assessor to visit. Mr. Williams has masterminded the first automated home valuation tool that provides truly accurate, instant results because it allows the user to factor in relevant variables that directly and heavily impact a home's value.
"An accurate analysis of a property is the ‘holy grail' of real estate sites," says Mr. Williams. "No one else out there is offering this. Most websites are oriented toward people who are shopping for a home, but Prime Voyage is oriented toward the home owner who needs to answer questions about what the market is like today in the neighborhood. Customers and even other real estate agents who have used this tool are amazed at the accuracy of the results."
After taking Santa Barbara resident Michael Russer's (aka Mr. Internet®) Online Dominance program, Mr. Williams decided to focus on the needs of his customers to create a site that went from mostly advertising himself to being interactive and useful for visitors. He applied his personal knowledge of Santa Barbara, gained over 31 years as an agent in the area, and merged it with some nimble programming from Andrew Bidochko of MapBuilder.net, and Kalen Jordan of Sparcksoft.com, to deliver this free to use cutting edge tool that out-Zillows Zillow, which is insensitive to mixed neighborhoods or other fluctuating market conditions.
So, if you are curious about your home's value versus your neighbor's (for whatever reason) visit www. PrimeVoyage.com, email scott@primevoyage.com, or call (805) 563-4031.
