“The new website provides homebuyers with a suite of tools to help them get the most for their money in these uncertain economic times. It also helps homebuyers find resources for loans, news about the housing market as it relates to foreclosures and featured articles on some of the best deals on foreclosures available today,” said Carol Flammer, managing partner of mRELEVANCE.

Additionally, there is information about preferred lenders, a library of press releases, information about rental opportunities through WEGO Property Management, video home tours through YouTube and a portal to a full directory of online listings. All of this is tied together with social media functionality through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more.

Georgia Home Foreclosures has been pleased with the development of the site, which has proved to be an effective tool for delivering relevant information to homebuyers. “We saw tremendous traffic the first month the site launched,” said Tara White, Sales Manager for Rialto Capital Management.

The new site is a highly sophisticated, multi-category blog providing an intuitive and user-friendly experience. The website is fully integrated with every aspect of the web that visitors expect to find online with features such as multiple blogs, RSS syndication, social media, video and more. By using the new Find-a-Pro search tool, site visitors can connect to with hundreds of builders, remodelers and their associates in the Greater Springfield area. Furthermore, the website was built to be easily modified, updated and augmented, and is also future-proofed to easily undergo changes to accommodate tomorrow’s technology.

“mRELEVANCE held my hand through a top-to-bottom overhaul of the HBA site,” Matt Morrow, CEO of the Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield, said. “The new site is more flexible and will allow for changes and updates without another costly overhaul or substantial additional contracting as our needs inevitably change in the future.”

Both mRELEVANCE and Morrow believe this interactive website is the direction that trade associations should head in when they design or re-design their web presences. “Every HBA in the country should be considering this approach to their web presence moving forward,” Morrow said.

The Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield is the voice and advocate for construction professionals leading the way to protect and promote housing, and preserve the American dream of home ownership. The HBA is a professional trade association whose members are committed to ethical business practices, the highest construction standards, the education of our members and the community, and serve as the political voice of the industry.
