Tucson, AZ, February 02, 2011 -- Long Realty Company announced today that Tucson’s ZipRealty agents and management will join the firm as a group. The move will allow the group to build off their existing success and website systems by tapping into the expansive technology resources, leading market presence and consumer focused services of Long Realty Company. The group will operate out of Long Realty's Foothills branch office, managed by Laura Mance and located at 4051 E Sunrise Drive, Suite 101 in Tucson.
In 2010, the Tucson ZipRealty operation produced approximately 260 closed unit sales with its 35 sales agents.
Group leader Dea Venne Jones explained the move, saying, “We are pleased and excited about our new affiliation with Long Realty. Our group is technology savvy and consumer focused, so the decision to come to Long Realty made perfect sense. This new relationship will also expand on our ability to effectively market properties for sellers. This relationship will definitely take our business to the next level!"
Rosey Koberlein, CEO of Long Companies, also explained the matchup will benefit ZipRealty clients and sales agents alike. “They will have a smooth integration into our company culture, technology platforms, international marketing reach and custom buyer and seller services. If there ever was an example of synergy and performance, this is it. Long Realty Company continues to create opportunities for real estate professionals who want to grow their business.”
