FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Providenciales, Turks & Caicos BWI (September 27, 2012) – Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, the area’s leading luxury real estate firm, launched its new web site www.turksandcaicossir.com, which is integrated with the acclaimed Sotheby’s International Realty site (www.SIR.com). This means that most enhancements made and new features added to www.SIR.com will also be available on www.turksandcaicossir.com. This “cascading platform” technology allows Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty clients and website visitors premiere access to cutting-edge real estate tools on a global scale. Adding to the buzz is the recently launched iPad application that gives iPad users a tablet-optimized experience when searching and viewing properties.

States Broker Joe Zahm, “When I first saw the presentation for the new cascading web platform, I was enormously impressed and felt that it was way ahead of the rest of the industry, so I liaised with Denise Douglas, our Marketing Manager, to plan the new site. Denise, with the recent success of our signature magazine, The Finest Collection, managed and coordinated the content (in concert with the developer, Gabriel Solutions), to complete the site to a very high standard. Its aesthetic, functionality and imbedded SEO are outstanding, and we are thrilled with the end result”.

Adds Wendy Purvey, chief marketing officer, Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC: “The Sotheby’s International Realty brand has redefined the way consumers search for real estate.  Our home page notably displays a rotation of some of our network’s most striking homes.  When users mouse over the image, interactive boxes with additional information about the property appear. In the case of Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, we have already showcased three of their listings on our global www.sir.com home page, which is a testament to the quality of their listings and photography, and how they look to give their upscale listings every possible advantage. Incidentally, all three of these listings sold this past year!”  Purvey continues: “Each listing features a video “slide show” that allows viewers to listen to a narration in their preferred language.  Also, the property list price is displayed in dozens of currencies, all updated daily with the latest exchange rates”.
