House.com Ranks as the Real Estate Sector's Second Most Visited Web Site With Over 1 Million Unique Weekly Visitors for the Week Ending September 26th

Ten Thousand Broker/Agents Have Now Registered on House.com Since September 2003 Launch

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite interest rates creeping upward, consumers still look to home ownership as a safe investment. "Regardless of the slight escalation of interest rates, we are seeing extraordinarily active web traffic at House.com," said Dan Parisi, president of House.com, the nationwide leader in connecting consumers to qualified real estate agents, and one of the real estate industries' most popular sites. House.com announces the site has had 1.286 million visitors for the week ending September 26th 2004 according to comScore Media Metrix, and has secured an additional 1,500 qualified agents registered to the site over the past few months.

"Since the modest up tick in interest rates began, we are seeing ever-increasing web traffic on House.com and about 20% more volume in consumers seeking qualified sales agents," said Dan Parisi. "With the economy gradually rebounding, corporations are beginning to hire and interest rates still remain very, very low historically. People put more faith in homeownership than the stock market and as such, I expect the market for buying and selling homes will remain very active."

Due to explosive consumer demand to secure qualified real estate broker/agent representation, House.com seeks to register an additional 2,500 agents by year's end.

"Consumers are happy, and so are the brokers," adds Parisi. "Unlike other lead generating companies that take hefty percentage of the agent's transaction, House.com leads are priced at only $30.00 each. While our competitors take a back end 30% commission out of each and every deal, House.com offers vetted leads from qualified buyers at very reasonable price. We offer the broker/agent community valuable consumer leads that have been evaluated by our customer service team."

Parisi founded House.com in September 2003 and today the site ranks as one of the most visited sites in the residential real estate sector. Over 10,000 registered real estate agents have joined the House.com network representing every state in the Union. Parisi, who has worked in the residential real estate space for the past two decades, became a registered broker in 1984 as well as a builder. "I launched House.com because the residential real estate sector is in dire need of a change," adds Parisi. "House.com utilizes a sophisticated, custom-built management system that matches customers with pre- qualified realtors in their area. By filling out one simple form a prospective house buyer or seller is able to receive better service. Our approach provides a more customized experience to a buyer and seller accomplished by working with only qualified and knowledgeable realtors."
