In making the announcement, Fred Mercaldo noted: “We know that since Scottsdale.com is the first choice for high end buyers who are relocating to the Valley, and they demand the utmost in professional real estate services, it is important that our choice for our exclusive real estate partnership be professional and responsive. We are extremely happy to announce this alliance, which benefits both local and out-of-state visitors to both sites, by providing a comprehensive tool and resource for their real estate needs.”

Mercaldo added: “The Sundins have established themselves with a reputation for being responsive to the needs of buyers and sellers alike, as well as being the ultimate source of regional information on the many communities that encompass Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix and the vicinity. We are pleased to forge this new partnership as we continue to make our sites true destination places and make available the best resources in the real estate business today.”

Becky Kelley, executive Director of Scottsdale.com and Tempe.com noted: “During our search for a real estate partner on our sites we went through an extensive interview process.  The two most important criteria we were looking for were customer service/response time and internet savvy. When we met the Sundins, we knew we had found the perfect match.  Their customer service is second to none and they are truly internet marketing specialists.“

Brad and Stacy Sundin commented: “Being the exclusive partners and having our properties featured on Scottsdale.com & Tempe.com gives us a great advantage over of our competition.  Because many homebuyers start their search on the internet, our visibility for our listings and also to potential homebuyers just increased exponentially.  We have found that buyers typically Google the city they are interested in moving to. Scottsdale and Tempe are two very well-known cities and research shows they are also two of the highest searched cities in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.  This is why we were so excited to partner with these two city websites and will be a huge advantage for our sellers, because it means their home will receive maximum exposure, which is one of the major criteria for choosing a REALTOR®. Even though this is the most expenisve advertising we have ever done for our business, it was an opportunity that Brad and I could not walk away from because we believe in the power of the internet and hope that this type of exposure will catapult our business to a new level, even in a tough housing market.”

Today’s consumer is internet savvy and demands state-of-the-art technology and navigation to help them make an educated decision. The Sundin Group has put an emphasis on creating robust real estate sections for their customers on both sites, plus three of their own real estate websites. With over 100 pages of real estate information on Scottsdale.com & Tempe.com (including the ability to now search listings in MLS by an advanced mapping tool), their new partnership with Scottsdale.com and Tempe.com will afford valley residents and visitors alike, with the latest and best information to help find the ideal property for them.

ABOUT THE SUNDIN GROUP:
Buying or selling a home is a very personal decision and requires a relationship built on trust and honesty. The Sundins have built their business on these principals, as evidenced by a loyal following of past clients who not only continue to do repeat business with them...but also refer many of their friends and family to them. For Realtors, it can take many years to develop a primarily referral based business, but The Sundins had accomplished this by their second year in real estate and have done exceptionally well ever since. The Sundin Group was started by husband and wife, Brad and Stacy Sundin.
