<p class="">
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Mar 11, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Zephyr Real Estate recently announced that it has again received the<br />
Website Quality Certification (WQC) from Leading Real Estate<br />
Companies of the World(R), which presents the certification to member<br />
real estate firms that demonstrate best practices in website design<br />
and Internet communications.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Zephyr&#8217;s website, www.zephyrsf.com, earned the certification after<br />
reaching high marks on a range of criteria, including usability,<br />
design and content, interactivity, responsiveness, search engine<br />
optimization and more. The WQC is an optional program available only<br />
to firms affiliated with Leading Real Estate Companies of the<br />
World(R) and requires re-certification every two years.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;We introduced the WQC in 2009 to recognize member websites that<br />
combine high standards for design, technology and customer service,&#8221;<br />
said Leading Real Estate Companies of the World(R) President/CEO Pam<br />
O&#8217;Connor. &#8220;Each year, we revisit the criteria to ensure the standards<br />
reflect the most current online trends, and we are especially proud<br />
to recognize the firms whose sites earned the WQC this year.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>Zephyr&#8217;s website has also been nominated for the Best Interactivity<br />
award. Winners will be announced at the LeadingRE annual conference<br />
in Las Vegas later this month.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Zephyr&#8217;s website has been received enthusiastically across the board,<br />
from agents to clients. The website offers a wealth of information<br />
above and beyond typical listings, including neighborhood-level<br />
market trends, a searchable public and private school database with<br />
detailed school profiles, and in-depth neighborhood profiles complete<br />
with descriptions, demographics, maps, and narrated videos.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s competitive marketplace, we understand the need to keep<br />
our website robust and user-friendly,&#8221; commented Melody Foster,<br />
Zephyr&#8217;s Director of Marketing and Web Development. &#8220;We are honored<br />
to be recognized for our diligence and effort to provide a positive<br />
web experience.&#8221;</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Zephyr Real Estate, San Francisco&#8217;s largest independent real estate<br />
firm, achieved a sales volume of $1.5 billion in 2012, making it the<br />
City&#8217;s number one real estate brand. Zephyr has consistently been in<br />
the forefront in sales volume, technological innovation, and service<br />
to the community.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Luxury sales now comprise almost one-third of total transactions,<br />
which is up from 15 percent from a mere two years ago. Zephyr is also<br />
home to some of the most productive agents in San Francisco with the<br />
top 10 agents averaging more than $35 million in sales.</p>
<p class="">
<p>The San Francisco Association of REALTORS has mapped the City into 10<br />
districts. Zephyr&#8217;s dominance in the market place as a whole is also<br />
reflected in the majority of these 10 Realtor-defined areas,<br />
including the area west of Twin Peaks (District 4) that includes West<br />
Portal. In that area alone Zephyr&#8217;s market share is over 25 percent<br />
higher than the closest competing brand.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;This is great news but I am not surprised that the team here has<br />
achieved this watermark,&#8221; commented Randall Kostick, Chief Operating<br />
Officer of Zephyr. &#8220;It takes commitment and dedication and that&#8217;s<br />
exactly what we have.&#8221;</p>

<p>Located on the SOMA/Potrero border near the design district, nearby<br />
neighbors include Adobe, Zynga, California College of the Arts, and<br />

developments by some very notable architects, including 888 Seventh<br />
Street by David Baker, 1234 Howard by Stanley Saitowitz and the<br />
conversion of Jackson Brewery by Siegel and Strain. The eclectic<br />
neighborhood enjoys some of the best weather in the city, where<br />
commercial mingles alongside industrial and residential.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;We are delighted with our new location where there is abundant space<br />
to encourage and inspire our staff,&#8221; commented Randall Kostick, Chief<br />
Operating Officer for Zephyr. &#8220;The views of the City skyline and Bay<br />
Bridge alone are constant reminders of all that is amazing about San<br />
Francisco.&#8221;</p>

San Francisco Bay Area by clients as well as the entire real estate<br />

<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Zephyr Real Estate just announced the debut of the Zephyr Real<br />
Estate search app for Android. Following on the heels of the iPhone<br />
app launch, Zephyr continues as the leader in technological acuity,<br />
customer service and agent support. The new app is now available at<br />
Amazon and Google.</p>
<p class="">
<p>With the new app, Android users can easily find all available<br />
properties in San Francisco using Zephyr&#8217;s MLS-powered search. With<br />
the GPS-enabled app, users can search for homes nearby, or enter<br />
their own search parameters including searching by specific San<br />
Francisco neighborhood, not just zip code. Full details on every<br />
available property are accessible including a full-screen photo<br />
viewer, full description and property features.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;Our marketing and technology team is committed to keeping our agents<br />
well equipped and tech-forward in the marketplace,&#8221; commented Hud<br />
Bixler, Zephyr&#8217;s Director of Technology. &#8220;New tools and services are<br />
constantly under development, which is particularly critical in our<br />
marketplace.&#8221;</p>

<p class="">
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jul 30, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Steve De La Pena has been named Zephyr Real Estates&#8217; new Vice<br />
President of Strategic Services. De La Pena brings extensive career<br />
coaching and training expertise to the firm, and his focus will be<br />
business development and growth, both for agents in expanding their<br />
own business as well as for the company as a whole.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;After an extensive search process, we are extremely pleased to make<br />
this announcement,&#8221; commented Randall Kostick, Chief Operating<br />
Officer for Zephyr. &#8220;The search was over and the decision was<br />
unanimous once we met with Steve. His strong relationships in the<br />
industry, vision, integrity and professional acumen make for a<br />
perfect fit.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>After selling real estate for six years, De La Pena elected to make<br />
home buying and selling a safe and enjoyable place for all<br />
participants, including the agents. He entered real estate management<br />
in 1987 and immediately set to creating an environment where agents<br />
can realize their full potential, and clients can depend on the<br />
professionalism and honesty of their agent. For 11 years, Steve<br />
managed the Berkeley office of Coldwell Banker, taking it into the<br />
top three offices in Northern California. In 2001 he joined Pacific<br />
Union Real Estate Group as a Vice President and Branch Executive,<br />
managing the Civic Center/Opera Plaza office and later, the Orinda<br />
office. He helped shepherd that company through one of the most<br />
challenging markets San Francisco has ever seen.</p>
<p class="">
<p>For almost five years he was the Vice President of Oahu Operations<br />
and Broker in Charge for one of the top companies in the state of<br />
Hawaii.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Family, friends and a love of the Bay Area drew him back to San<br />
Francisco and ultimately to Zephyr. De La Pena also dedicated<br />
considerable research in finding the right fit. &#8220;The move to Zephyr<br />
was a natural evolution of my commitment to seek out the best and<br />
most professional real estate atmosphere,&#8221; he remarked. &#8220;The support<br />
that Zephyr gives its agents and their clients is second to none in<br />
the industry.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>In addition to his substantial professional background, De La Pena<br />
has many broad and colorful interests. He has been a musician, a<br />
martial arts practitioner and instructor, and a writer of novels and<br />
screenplays. He also has a degree in English Lit and Poetry from the<br />
University of California at Berkeley. He is an avid open water<br />
swimmer, and has successfully conquered the trip to and from<br />
Alcatraz, the Golden Gate and circumnavigating Angel Island. He and<br />
his wife are delighted to return to the Bay Area.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Those wishing to discuss real estate or becoming an agent with Zephyr<br />
are invited to contact him at sdelapena@zephyrsf.com.</p>

<p class="">
<p class="">
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jul 11, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Trulia, a leading online marketplace for homebuyers, sellers,<br />
renters and real estate professionals, today announced both Rent SF<br />
Now and J.Wavro Associates, will syndicate their San Francisco rental<br />
listings to Trulia. Consumers will now have access to a distinctive<br />
group of new properties making it easier for Trulia users to find the<br />
right place to live. And with dedicated mobile apps for rentals,<br />
Trulia is making it easier to find an apartment in San Francisco.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;Trulia is focused on delivering more rental listings to our users by<br />
working directly with partners in the industry,&#8221; said Divya Bhat, Sr.<br />
Product Manager, Trulia Rentals. &#8220;We aim to take the hassle out of<br />
browsing listings by providing tools and apps that cater to the short<br />
and often competitive timeline of searching for a rental. With<br />
features like real-time alerts for new listings, a mobile map view<br />
and local amenity data, we provide renters with critical context as<br />
they browse and tour rentals.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;Prospective renters are searching online for listings while they are<br />
out-and-about,&#8221; said James Wavro of J.Wavro Associates. &#8220;Once we saw<br />
the popular iPhone and Android apps from Trulia we realized how<br />
beneficial it would be for our business to tap into mobile rental<br />
searchers through the Trulia platform.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;The rental market moves quickly, particularly in a place like San<br />
Francisco, and renters are increasingly searching for apartment<br />
listings from their mobile phones,&#8221; said David Chesnosky of<br />
RentSFNow. &#8220;Trulia&#8217;s iPhone and Android apps enable us to get in<br />
front of renters while they&#8217;re searching on-the-go.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>Finding an apartment to rent can be challenging and in San Francisco<br />
a variety of factors, including a strong job market and low<br />
inventory, have been forcing prices up. The latest Trulia Rent<br />
Monitor showed rents are up 14.7% year-over-year, during the month of<br />
June.</p>
<p class="">
<p>In this environment, renters can benefit from tools Trulia provides<br />
to help them find what they are looking for quickly and efficiently.<br />
Trulia&#8217;s dedicated rentals apps for iPhone and Android are optimized<br />
for the tight time frame renters operate on when searching for their<br />
next place to call home. The app provides a rich interface allowing<br />
prospective renters to browse by zip code or neighborhood for current<br />
rentals, but also highlights new listings almost immediately, via<br />
push notifications and color-coded markers which note newer<br />
properties.</p>
<p class="">
<p>The Trulia Rentals App is available for free from the App Store on<br />
iPhone and iPod touch, online and in the Play store from Android.</p>
<p class="">
<p>About Trulia, Inc.<br />
 Trulia gives home buyers, sellers, owners and<br />
renters the inside scoop on properties, places and real estate<br />
professionals. Trulia has unique info on the areas people want to<br />
live that can&#8217;t be found anywhere else: users can learn about agents,<br />

with millions of transaction-ready buyers and sellers each month via<br />

<p class="">
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jul 02, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
For more than 15 years, Zephyr Real Estate has invested in the<br />
future and education of San Francisco&#8217;s graduating seniors through<br />
the Meritus College Fund. That tradition continues, and this year&#8217;s<br />
recipient is Sintia Henriquez, a graduate from the June Jordan School<br />
for Equity. Bill Drypolcher, founder and President of Zephyr,<br />
presented the four-year scholarship at the Scholar Awards Ceremony on<br />
May 30. The award is valued at $12,000, and Sintia plans to attend<br />
the University of California at Los Angeles to pursue a degree in<br />
sociology.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Meritus College Fund invests in socio-economically disadvantaged, yet<br />
highly motivated, high school students by providing scholarships and<br />
support in achieving their potential through higher education.<br />
Meritus was founded in 1996 and has awarded in excess of $5 million<br />
and innumerable hours of coaching and mentoring. Over 87 percent of<br />
those scholars have graduated from college. The fund is supported<br />
through donations from 800 groups and individuals who all endorse the<br />
philosophy of creating educational opportunities for those who might<br />
otherwise be left behind.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Zephyr managers and agents contribute to the fund each year to take<br />
part in this worthwhile endeavor. Every dollar donated to Meritus is<br />
completely committed to providing these scholarships. More<br />
information about the fund and methods of support may be found at</p>
<p>http://www.meritusfund.org    .</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;My motivation to attend college is rooted in my struggles. I want to<br />
show my family that their journey to the United States wasn&#8217;t in<br />
vain; it was for greater opportunities that will bring me an<br />
enriching education and experience in college,&#8221; Sintia commented. &#8220;I<br />
know that attending college will support me and my dreams. I am<br />
grateful for this opportunity.&#8221; Sintia is also a recipient of a<br />
Maisin Scholars award.</p>
<p class="">
<p>Previous recipients include Samuel Cardenas, Trevor Chuan, Jorge<br />
Pacheco, Pedro Perez, Julian Merino, Danelia Lopez, and Kevin Khai.<br />
Their college destinations comprise California State University-East<br />
Bay, University of California at Davis, San Francisco State,<br />
University of California at Santa Cruz and Whittier College.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;This is one of the finest ways to give back to our community,&#8221;<br />
commented Bill Drypolcher, who also serves on the Advisory Council<br />
for Meritus. &#8220;We are involved with Meritus to help bridge this<br />
educational gap and offer much-needed funding for deserving Bay Area<br />
high school graduates to attend college and fulfill their dreams.&#8221;</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
2850 Buena Vista Way, former Berkeley Hills dream home of the late<br />
UC Berkeley Professor/IAES Director Robert Scalapino, steps on the<br />
market with an asking price of $1,895,000.</p>
<p class="">
<p>UC Berkeley Architect Robert Ratcliff, son of another famed Cal<br />
Architect Walter Ratcliff, designed the 4BR/3.5BA mid-century home<br />
for Scalapino and his wife Dee &#8212; a well-known opera singer &#8212; to<br />
entertain large academic audiences and musicians from around the<br />
world. 2850 Buena Vista Way sits on a half-acre lot, includes over<br />
4,000 sq. ft. of living space and features breathtaking views of the<br />
San Francisco Bay and skyline from all angles.</p>
<p class="">
<p>The large open living room is a mini concert hall, acoustically<br />
designed with high beamed ceilings around the grand piano, and<br />
seating for approximately 100. Both the living room and the large<br />
dining room open out to a courtyard with a mini stage &#8212; the perfect<br />
spot for outdoor concerts. Additionally, there are four official<br />
bedrooms, again for visitors from all over the world, each with their<br />
own view of the Bay. The home is set on a private cul-de-sac,<br />
surrounded by the natural wooded landscape of the Berkeley Hills.</p>
<p class="">
<p>For more information about 2850 Buena Vista Way, please contact<br />
Marlene Leverette at 510.421.2266 or mleverette@mcguire.com and<br />

broker&#8217;s tour is Thursday, May 17 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 2850<br />
Buena Vista Way will be open for public viewing on Sunday, May 20<br />

		<description><![CDATA[SAN FRANCISCO, CA&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; May 10, 2012) &#8211; Trulia, a leading site for home buyers, sellers, renters and real estate professionals, today announced a strategic alliance with Bay Area Real Estate Information Services, Inc. (BAREIS MLS®) to directly syndicate the &#8230; <a href="http://homesmillbrae.com/1474/bay-area-real-estate-information-services-announces-direct-syndication-to-trulia-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; May 10, 2012) &#8211; <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593616type=1url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trulia.com%2f">Trulia</a>, a leading site for home buyers, sellers, renters and <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593619type=1url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trulia.com%2fvoices%2fdirectory%2f">real estate professionals</a>, today announced a strategic alliance with Bay Area Real Estate Information Services, Inc. (BAREIS MLS®) to directly syndicate the listings of its 8,000 members to Trulia, providing consumers with the most accurate information on homes for sale in five Northern San Francisco Bay Area counties including Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma and Solano.</p>
<p>With the addition of BAREIS MLS®, the majority of the MLSs in the Bay Area are now working with Trulia. Trulia already receives direct feeds from MLSListings, Bay East and Contra Costa MLS, meaning Bay Area homebuyers can have an extremely high degree of confidence that the data they see on Trulia is correct. As part of its alliance with Trulia, BAREIS will also participate in the <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593622type=1url=http%3a%2f%2ftruliablog.com%2f2011%2f03%2f03%2ftrulia-launches-trulia-direct-reference%2f">Trulia Direct Reference program</a>, under which Trulia notifies listing agents and brokers about any discrepancies between the data provided by the MLS and information from other syndicators.</p>
<p>Listings from BAREIS MLS® will now be seen by the more than 23 million* serious <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593625type=1url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trulia.com%2f">home-buyers and sellers</a> coming to Trulia each month to get the inside scoop on real estate they can&#8217;t find anywhere else. BAREIS MLS® will syndicate all of its listings unless the listing is not approved for the internet.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our membership is dedicated to providing the most accurate data on the internet to buyers and sellers working with the real estate professionals in our region,&#8221; said Jim Branscombe, President and CEO of BAREIS MLS®. &#8221;There is an explosion of data and a great deal of that information is not accurate or kept up to date. Building strategic alliances with major <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593628type=1url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trulia.com%2f">real estate portals</a> like Trulia will ensure the best data is available to the public and support the efforts of our real estate professionals to list and sell property. BAREIS MLS® has operated its own public site for 14 years, and this relationship we are forging with Trulia is similar to the relationships we have with other public internet sites we have worked with in that we are providing all active listing data approved for internet display.&#8221;</p>
<p>As part of the agreement, Trulia will abide by the guidelines established by the <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=885734id=1593631type=1url=http%3a%2f%2fpro.truliablog.com%2fusing-trulia%2ftrulia-data-pledge-for-listing-syndication-and-display%2f">Trulia Data Pledge</a> for listing syndication that launched in January 2012.</p>
<p>&#8220;By syndicating listings for its members, BAREIS MLS® will ensure that it provides an extremely high level of data accuracy. This will help its members connect with more buyers and sellers to close more transactions,&#8221; said Mark Weiss, Trulia Director of Business Development. &#8220;BAREIS MLS® understands that connecting Trulia&#8217;s audience with the most up to date and accurate information provides its real estate professionals with the best opportunity to close deals.&#8221; </p>
