FrontDoor.com Continues to Grow - Web Site Powered by HGTV Now Offers More Than 3 Million Home Listings

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just six months after opening, FrontDoor.com, the real estate Web site powered by HGTV, continues to unlock home ownership information for users – now offering more than 3 million listings of homes for sale across the country. (http://www.frontdoor.com)

After launching in late 2007 with partner listings from Realogy Corporation and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World™, FrontDoor.com has added additional listings partners including Prudential Real Estate and Keller Williams; and has also formed direct relationships with agents and brokers.

“Today it is more imperative than ever for home buyers and sellers to arm themselves with the latest, trustworthy and easy-to-understand information,” explains Vikki Neil, vice president of real estate for Scripps Networks, parent company of FrontDoor.com. “FrontDoor exists to bring the latest listings, breaking industry information and consumer-friendly content together in one place. We heard from HGTV viewers again and again that they were frustrated by having to visit multiple real estate Web sites during the house hunting process, and now we’ve pulled everything together for them with FrontDoor.com tapping into the HGTV expertise they know and trust.”

"Front Door.com 'gets it' when it comes to understanding and recognizing the uniqueness of the role third party providers such as BIRDVIEW Technologies play in delivering real estate listings data to FrontDoor.com on behalf of our broker clients. They have been a key factor in helping us achieve our mutual objectives, and I am confident our clients will benefit greatly as our collaboration continues,” explains Julie Mategrano, Director - MLS Business / Compliance for BIRDVIEW Technologies, Inc. BIRDVIEW just signed an agreement to market clients' property listings on FrontDoor.com.

This month FrontDoor.com is also launching its first blog, “FrontDoor Unlocked,” with bloggers that have real estate experience and know-how to share with both agents and consumers. The site features both original video and text content along with video clips from hit HGTV shows like “Designed to Sell” and “My First Place.”
