- Description
- Just as an FYI, I am an American ex-pat courtesy of the lovely Great Lake State, Michigan. This is why I'm an agent in Saginaw, my hometown. Can't wait to see the international versions of ActiveRain.
About Zoomf:
Zoomf.com is leading the way for property search in the UK, we are made up of Web 2.0 specialists, not agents. We carry nationwide listings for sales and rentals, and users can search for their perfect property in all sorts of up to the minute ways, even drawing on a map where they'd like to live! We don't get involved in the exchange, we're simply the geeks behind the product that helps buyers find agents. It's free for agents to list their properties, so we offer users a comprehensive view of what's on the market, and we make money through sophisticated advertising programmes.
We want to change the way technology is used in the UK property market, you American's are currently putting old Blighty to shame when it comes to online presence and marketing. We hope to see British agents utilizing the net to completely revitalise our property market, which is currently lagging behind in the technology stakes.
My Background:
My background for the past 2 years has been immersed in the online property space in the UK. Rather than repeat what I use LinkedIn for, here is a link if you wanna see professional background. Otherwise, below is a bad copy/paste job.
Summary -
I've been working in the new media space since the early days of 1995. My current focus is the UK real estate space with a start-up I've helped to found called Zoomf. We are now in the later stages of our development having had market success with our beta London-only search engine. Our UK-wide index of property launched in Q4 '07 and we are aggressively launching new products to serve our consumer and agent market.
Specialties:
12+ yrs in online media (web 2.0, search technology/products, ad-serving, rich media, PPC/bid management), managing products, teams and developing revenue streams. Experienced business professional with a proven track record of performance and execution in the US and UK markets. Strong entrepreneurial spirit with particular expertise in forming and commercializing online products. Superior management, organizational planning and oral/written communication skills.
