Marie Aiello
Marie Aiello of Page-Taft Real Estate has secured one of the very limited Featured Homes positions on the Internet’s No. 1 real estate Web site, Realtor.com, the official Web site of the National Association of Realtors.
Through the Realtor.com marketing system’s Featured Homes program, when potential homebuyers and sellers search for homes on the Connecticut shoreline, they will see featured properties prominently displayed at the top of the page with color photographs and pricing details. Statistics show that on average, such prominence could provide Aiello’s listings with 20 times more exposure than other listings. Additionally, her clients’ properties will benefit from the more than 6.1 million individuals per months who, on average, spend 86 percent of the time they search for a home online on Realtor.com.
“I want to ensure that both the properties I market and the communities I represent enjoy optimum positioning online,” Aiello said. “Displaying my listings as Featured Homes will give them a competitive edge over other properties on the market.”
Aiello added that Featured Homes is just one of the many ways she is using the Realtor.com marketing system to help her clients on the Connecticut shoreline.
Page-Taft Real Estate is one of the foremost independently owned and managed real estate firms in its area. With offices in Essex, Guilford, Madison and Old Lyme, Page-Taft is in the position to represent properties along the Connecticut shoreline and in the river towns of the lower Connecticut Valley. Since opening its doors in 1980, the company has grown to include 55 full-time agents and a staff of 12.
