Riverdale - A recent National Association of Realtors' study showed that almost 90% of all potential homebuyers begin their search for a home online. Blue Realty GMAC Real Estate Services associates have a system to handle this increasingly important source of buyer inquiries. Recently upgraded, the Blue Realty online E-Realty Generators allow consumers to "plug into" a multimillion dollar investment in what Blue Realty GMAC believes is the most complete Real Estate internet marketing and information generation platform in the industry.

Because today's more sophisticated consumers want real estate information in minutes rather than hours, Blue Realty GMAC employs a state-of-the-art contact center. Its highly-trained internet call center staff speaks with internet inquiries and instantly provides the customer with the information they need and will even transfer the inquiry to a "live", local sales associate in real time.

According to Charles Blumenkehl, president and founder of Blue Realty GMAC, "There's nothing like our Blue Realty E-Realty Generator to assist online buyers from getting the information and resources they need fast. Our Internet commitment generates internet inquiries from buyers on search engines, popular local websites, and strategic partnerships with such other national Real Estate companies, including Lending Tree, Service Magic and Home Gain."

Blumenkehl continued, "Our own website, www.bluerealty.com, is one of the most viewed real estate sites in New Jersey, with over 100,000 new visitors a year viewing our properties.

If you've ever had to move because of a job-related transfer, then you have experienced firsthand the multitude of detail and preparation necessary for such a move, not to mention the emotional upheaval and physical wear and tear this relocation makes. Now imagine that your transfer brings you and your family to a different continent with a completely different culture, and you can only begin to imagine the multiple impact of this employment-related affect on your lives. Understanding the sensitive needs of such a move, 12 years ago Charles Blumenkehl, President of Blue Realty / GMAC, and Sumiko Ko Hwang, Vice President of International Relocation with the firm, created AOI FUDOSAN (pronounced AH-OH-EE, which means Blue Realty in Japanese) a division of Blue Realty / GMAC. AOI specializes entirely on Asian relocation, and has served major international corporations including Sharp, Sony, Panasonic and numerous other major bicoastal corporations in assisting the transfer of all levels of their employees, from mid-management to the CEO.

According to Blumenkehl, "We have created a unique and effective system that is sensitive to and understanding of the needs of the transferee and their family. We simplify the process through technology and the Internet before the family comes to the United States and combine their needs with an in-depth local knowledge and the full resources of GMAC Global Relocation behind it". According to Sumiko Ko Hwang, "Mr. Blumenkehl and I share a high standard of quality service that allows us to provide the necessary services for the demanding area of international relocation. We provide the highest level of premier service and integrity to our clients and they appreciate it".

The division provides relocation services in several dialects, including Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. AOI provides real estate, rental, corporate housing, temporary lodging and consultative services to companies and their employees around the world.

If you would like to request an international relocation package or have any questions regarding real estate, you may call Sumiko and her staff at (888)FUDOSAN or visit the division's website at www.bluerealty.com and click on "About us". The AOI Fudosan division of Blue Realty / GMAC is based out of the company's Bergen County location at 385 Franklin Turnpike, Allendale, NJ and its services are available at all company locations.

In the two weeks since Blue Realty unveiled its revolutionary proprietary pricing platform, which they refer to as their Market Value Predictor, the company reports it has successfully listed and marketed over $10,000,000 in real estate using the platform, and that amount is growing quickly as more listings adjust their marketing position to conform to the market trajectory indicated by the Blue Realty Market Value Predictor.

According to Charles Blumenkehl, president of Blue Realty, "We are excited about the immediate and apparent success our Market Value Predictor has brought to our agents and clients. In an environment where many agencies are struggling to figure out where the best price is for their sellers, we can point to that price totally unemotionally, practically, and help our sellers maximize their marketing benefit while enabling their home to be one of those which will sell in this market, while other equally serious sellers and homes for sale remain on the market".

Blumenkehl continued, "Provided you have a strong online and brick and mortar marketing program, and we have the best, pricing the home becomes the most important determinant in the successful sale of our homes. By using our Market Value Predictor, our sellers know what their house is worth today, 30, 60 and 90 days from now, and where we need to be to sell in their specific market. Even now, we take the guesswork out of selling".

Blue Realty is one of the leading independently-owned real estate companies throughout New Jersey. For more information about the Market Value Predictor and how you can make your home an MVP property, contact your local Blue Realty GMAC office at 5 Newark Pompton Turnpike, Riverdale, call (800) 936-SOLD(7653) or logon to the company website at www.bluerealty.com.

It no longer requires a trip to a Realtor's office or even a phone call to get complete consumer listing information about properties as they become for sale. Real Estate buyers and lookers can now sign up free to have that information and more online.

Studies show that more consumers than ever, almost 90% of Real Estate buyers, use the internet as an important resource in finding and choosing a home. Blue Realty GMAC provides those buyers with new listing alerts, existing properties for sale and rent, mortgage calculators and qualifiers and other valuable information easily accessible on their site to assist in the home buying process.

According to Charles Blumenkehl, president of Blue Realty GMAC, "As buyers' online abilities continue to grow much of the home finding process does not require as much face-to-face interaction, at the outset, if a buyer prefers to work from the privacy of their computer and provided they have easy access to information. There's no longer a reason why a buyer has to take a day off to find out what's for sale or what they can qualify to buy."

Blue Realty GMAC's website is already well ahead of the pack. The site offers superior search capabilities, mortgage tools, area information and a variety of tools designed to streamline the home buying process.
