Zephyr Real Estate Is Number One Brand in San Francisco

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:58:57 +0000

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Zephyr Real Estate, San Francisco’s largest independent real estate
firm, achieved a sales volume of $1.5 billion in 2012, making it the
City’s number one real estate brand. Zephyr has consistently been in
the forefront in sales volume, technological innovation, and service
to the community.

Luxury sales now comprise almost one-third of total transactions,
which is up from 15 percent from a mere two years ago. Zephyr is also
home to some of the most productive agents in San Francisco with the
top 10 agents averaging more than $35 million in sales.

The San Francisco Association of REALTORS has mapped the City into 10
districts. Zephyr’s dominance in the market place as a whole is also
reflected in the majority of these 10 Realtor-defined areas,
including the area west of Twin Peaks (District 4) that includes West
Portal. In that area alone Zephyr’s market share is over 25 percent
higher than the closest competing brand.

“This is great news but I am not surprised that the team here has
achieved this watermark,” commented Randall Kostick, Chief Operating
Officer of Zephyr. “It takes commitment and dedication and that’s
exactly what we have.”

Zephyr Real Estate Launches Android App

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:29:03 +0000

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Zephyr Real Estate just announced the debut of the Zephyr Real
Estate search app for Android. Following on the heels of the iPhone
app launch, Zephyr continues as the leader in technological acuity,
customer service and agent support. The new app is now available at
Amazon and Google.

With the new app, Android users can easily find all available
properties in San Francisco using Zephyr’s MLS-powered search. With
the GPS-enabled app, users can search for homes nearby, or enter
their own search parameters including searching by specific San
Francisco neighborhood, not just zip code. Full details on every
available property are accessible including a full-screen photo
viewer, full description and property features.

“Our marketing and technology team is committed to keeping our agents
well equipped and tech-forward in the marketplace,” commented Hud
Bixler, Zephyr’s Director of Technology. “New tools and services are
constantly under development, which is particularly critical in our
marketplace.”

Many additional features are obtainable by creating a free MyZephyr
account, such as accessing properties not listed on public websites,
getting details on pending and sold properties, receiving new listing
and price reduction email alerts, and the ability to create a custom
multi-property driving tour. All account information is fully
synchronized with website accounts, so saved information and searches
are easily accessed via app or on the web.

“Zephyr takes great pride in leading the pack by providing our agents
and clients with great service and all the resources necessary to
make their real estate experience not just positive, but enjoyable,”
commented Randall Kostick, Chief Operating Officer of Zephyr. “Our
team comes through once again.”
