Nothnagle Leads the Industry in Delivering One Stop Shopping Option

Over 850 top real estate brokers, managers, relocation professionals, sponsors and guests from the U.S. and eight countries around the world recently gathered in Las Vegas at the 2010 Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) conference. Participating brokerages represented one-third of the entire U.S. real estate market, with annual sales production of over $280 billion.

Among the featured speakers at the conference, Armand D'Alfonso, President and CEO of Nothnagle Realtors, presented information on One Stop Shopping. Nothnagle Realtors is consistently recognized as an industry leader in many respects, from our innovative marketing strategies, our award-winning website and now for our Home Services offering, which provides customers with over 100 options and a Home Services Coordinator that is personally assigned to every client to coordinate the services - before, during and after the move.

How do our clients feel about this service? They love it! Recently a client who moved to Rochester from out of state emailed Armand about their experiences with Nothnagle Home Services:

"It is now eight months since I moved, and I am using Janet Beechey every time I need to have something done to my house. In addition to the electrician and plumber, I have found a house cleaning service, carpet & rug cleaners, a design expert and an incredible painter all through your service. Every one of them has been top notch. Janet Beechey always responds to my requests quickly, and always checks back to make sure that I have been satisfied with the work done. I wanted to make sure that you know just how valuable this service is for people moving into the community."

A survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors in 2008 indicates that consumer interest in one stop shopping for real estate services is growing - 75% of survey respondents indicated they would consider a brokerage that offers a multitude of services to make their home buying and selling experience smoother and more convenient. Use of one stop shopping has increased by 45% since 2002, when the last survey of this type was conducted.

The annual LeadingRE Conference is an opportunity for industry leaders from around the globe to get together to share success stories and discuss a wide range of topics impacting the real estate industry. Especially in this market, it is critical for brokers to continue to innovative and provide consumers with expanded services. One Stop Shopping and Nothnagle's Home Services offering are just one more way our customers Get More!
