Century 21 Real Estate Corporation Launches TheMovingDay.com; Participating Offices to Provide Web Pages to New Home Owners
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct 25, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Century 21 Real
Estate Corporation announced today the rollout of TheMovingDay.com, a
service that provides individual Web pages free of charge to consumers
who purchase their homes through participating CENTURY 21(R) offices.
This unique site allows buyers to share the excitement of owning a new
home with select family and friends via the Internet.
This innovative Web site, created by 3Buddies.com(R) of Kansas City,
allows new homeowners to send their password to only those friends and
family that they would like to access their private site. Unlike
traditional Web sites, which are available for viewing by the general
public, TheMovingDay.com is password accessible only. Therefore,
homebuyers who take advantage of this offer from the CENTURY 21 System
utilize the advantages of the Internet without having to worry about
privacy or security.
Those who are given the password simply visit www.TheMovingDay.com in
order to access the private site. On the Web page, visitors can read
comments from the homeowners about their new house and neighborhood,
and view as many as five photos of the new home. They also have the
opportunity to sign the homebuyers' guest book, read what other
visitors wrote and send an e-mail message to the new homeowners. In
addition, site visitors are able to read information about and e-mail
the CENTURY 21 broker/sales associate who sold the home, as well as
find a CENTURY 21 office in their own area by using the office locator
found on each individual page.
"We are pleased to be the first franchised real estate system to offer
this unique and innovative service to our clients," said Robert Moles,
President and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate Corporation. "Consumer
demand and new technology are the driving forces behind today's
changing real estate market, and TheMovingDay.com helps to tie them
together."

initiatives and distinctive home buying services, CENTURY 21 is
