Movoto.com Expands Real Estate Search to Arizona

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Movoto.com (www.movoto.com), today announced the expansion of its innovative, turnkey, online home buying solution to include property listings in the state of Arizona, including the greater Phoenix metro area. Movoto.com provides first time and experienced home buyers with the Internet's most comprehensive "start to finish" home buying solution with over 37,000 Arizona homes for sale listings live and available. Movoto's tools make home buying easy with access to an unrivaled quantity of homes for sale listings, statistics and proprietary real estate information and an extensive network of hand-picked and trustworthy independent real estate agents with local market expertise.

San Francisco Bay Area-based Movoto.com's expansion into Phoenix enables local home buyers to take control of their real estate buying experience with complete access to the best online real estate search technology and the industry's top real estate agents. In addition to providing comprehensive home for sale listings for more than 37,000 homes for sale listed in Arizona, Movoto has partnered with local top real estate agents. When a Movoto user is ready to visit homes or make an offer they can meet one of Movoto's local partner agents - an agent handpicked according to their intimate understanding of local housing markets and experience in the home buying process.

Henry Shao, CEO of Movoto.com, said: "In today's dynamic home market, 1^st time buyers have the opportunity to purchase homes for sale at rock bottom prices. However, the entry level market today is mostly short sales, foreclosures and bank-owned properties and it's a huge advantage to have an experienced agent help navigate this unusual market. Movoto takes the guess work out of finding homes for sale and out of finding a talented, ethical real estate agent."

One of Movoto's first hand-picked real estate agents is Coldwell Banker Biltmore's local agent Toni Coursey. Toni, an experienced Phoenix area real estate agent said, "I am excited about working with Movoto's Phoenix real estate buyers. As a recipient of the Coldwell Banker Sterling Club Award, I focus strongly on professionalism, knowledge, and first-rate service. I look forward to combining Movoto's state of the art website and my 8 years of service to make buying or selling in Phoenix a great experience!"

Using Movoto's advanced search platform with patent-pending technologies, the company's website is a powerful online "homes for sale hunter" that actively scans thousands of homes for sale listings in local real estate databases and mines other data resources related to housing neighborhoods. With Movoto, homebuyers are able to gather data on neighborhoods and homes that closely match their search criteria, including detailed house specifications as well as local neighborhood demographics, crime statistics, local market housing data, school evaluations - all customized for the Phoenix metropolitan region.

Movoto is available free of charge to consumers, with no obligation to use agents certified by the service.
