And Services To Wider Audience
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK – July 22, 2008 – Relocation.com, the leading online consumer resource
for moving services, today announced a new marketing partnership with RealtyTrac.com,
the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties. The new partnership extends
both organizations’ market reach and exposure to help boost consumer traffic. Partner
content will be available from each site beginning in September.
Relocation.com will be integrated within RealtyTrac.com’s foreclosure search process,
giving consumers access to plan and budget for their moves as they work through
the purchase phase. Consumers will have access to Relocation.com’s free moving quotes,
as well as a wealth of original articles and moving information to help their impending

options as they conduct their online property search.
“Foreclosure properties are becoming an increasingly important part of the real
estate market, and working with the industry leader, RealtyTrac.com, helps us better
serve this growing segment,” said Greg Hebner, CEO, Relocation.com. “This new partnership
makes it possible for us to reach these consumers during a key phase of the purchase
process when they are most likely to need moving services, but may be unsure how
to plan their moves. We will connect consumers with the professional movers and
the related services that will help make their move process easier and less stressful.”
“Pairing our content with Relocation.com helps us offer added value to our customers.
We now can assist them with the important task of moving their household items to
their new home,” said Rick Sharga, vice president of marketing at RealtyTrac. “Buying
