New Real Estate Company Hits Boston

Posted on 06/19/2007 19:22:47 | Link | Post Comment

My good friend Anthony Longo is announcing the grand opening of his own real estate company, to be known as Anth | James.

The company's website is at http://anthjames.com

It is a killer website, unlike anything else you'll see in Boston, or in any city, for that matter. The search technology is groundbreaking (it needs a tweak, right now, but when fully functional, will be phenomenal).

The company is offering buyers "a la carte" types of service - from discount, limited service to full-service.

I wish Tony and Nick the best of luck.*

The press release follows, after the break.

Internet Homebuyers Gain Momentum Today:

Anth | James puts a new spin on the way Boston real estate is bought and sold

Boston based real estate firm ANTH | JAMES is bringing the worlds of traditional real estate and tech-savvy real estate into one arena. The firm launched today, catering to the Internet-wise homebuyers who crave what the Boston marketplace has been lacking: Choice.

(PRWEB) June 19, 2007 &8212; Boston based real estate firm ANTH | JAMES is bringing the worlds of traditional real estate and tech-savvy real estate into one arena. The firm launched today, catering to the Internet-wise homebuyers who crave what the Boston marketplace has been lacking: Choice.

Anthony Longo, founder of tech marketing firm condoDomain.com , not only wanted to focus his energies on the downtown Boston marketplace, but also wanted to work more closely with consumers of these luxury condominiums. In his concept comes design & style which he likes to add to all of his ventures, but most importantly he provided usability to a wide range of clients who may engage his firm at a traditional full service level or on a very new shared-model which involves cash back at the closing.

"We are not inventing anything new here. We are just leveraging the technology that has been developed by various entrepreneurs the past few years; taking these cost saving efficiencies the technology has created and passing these savings on to our clients."

ANTH | JAMES offers two levels of service to its buyers and sellers of Boston Real Estate, Full service and Split-Level. Full service brokerage is similar to what traditional brokerages are offering, however, ANTH | JAMES has tuned up and raised the bar in this area adding transparency and more online analytics. Split-Level services allow market or tech savvy buyers or sellers to engage ANTH | JAMES at 50% of the cost or receive 50% back at the closing table, similar to competitors like Redfin.com.

By offering split-level service options in addition to traditional buying and selling options, ANTH | JAMES allows clients to use tools and information on their user-friendly website, anthjames.com, to research, visit, and even make an offer all online. Once the client is ready to make an offer, ANTH | JAMES consultants take over the process. While working with a buyers agent is always free, when using this split-level service option, ANTH | JAMES offers a refund of 50% of their own commission to the buyer.

Similar split-level services are also available for the seller. Rather than taking the full commission, ANTH | JAMES will charge half of the more common 5% seller commission if the seller takes on certain responsibilities.

This new way of buying and selling real estate in Boston allows the client to take ownership of the transaction as well as a large chunk of cash. Anthony's belief of a la carte brokerage services is a play for the future and the ANTH | JAMES brand will be a first for the luxury downtown Boston Real Estate market.

* FULL DISCLOSURE: Of course, I should mention that all of their deals are actually being handled under my own broker's license, for which they're paying me a fee. So, when you buy from them, you're helping me!
