Excited and thrilled about the launch of my new Prudential website - 02/17/09 10:49 PM
With many thanks to my broker, Prudential New Jersey Properties, I FINALLY have a fully functional IDX, search engine optimized, lead capture enabled, personal website as well as a cutting-edge contact management system and the ability to host my very own blog (although I won't give up AR)!  The marketing of our listings on our new platform are second to none and consumers can create a free account so they can save their New Jersey property searches and favorite properties and sign-up for email alerts on price and status changes, new listings and open houses.  
I'm very excited about our new platform and my new website … (0 comments)
