Corcoran adding Zagat Survey and allowing buyers to explore

Real Estate Weekly, Nov 8, 2006

The Corcoran Group's award-winning web site www.corcoran.com announces an evolutionary enhancement to its online capabilities with the addition of Zagat Survey ratings and reviews pertinent to each and every property listing.

Now, it is possible for you to become neighborhood savvy before even moving into your new home.

As Corcoran continues to drive the future of the real estate business to an interactive space where online business will take the lead, this enhancement allows website visitors to explore the amenities of the neighborhoods that surround Corcoran properties before making a purchase.

This relationship is the first of its kind and it will help match buyers in Manhattan, The Hamptons, Brooklyn and South Florida with their perfect home in the neighborhood that ideally suits their needs.

"For the first time ever, buyers have all of the critical information at their fingertips they need to make an informed decision about the purchase of a new home," says Corcoran's CEO Pamela Liebman. "The convenience factor and use value is unprecedented."

After one has found the home of his/her dreams using Corcoran.com's search engine, the Zagat Survey feature is the next step to assuring that the flavor of the neighborhood matches one's personal needs. The Zagat Survey feature on Corcoran's website will allow visitors to explore a particular neighborhood's resources through a trusted guide that rates and reviews restaurants, nightlife and shopping options around the home of their interest.

Zagat Survey has long been recognized as the world's leading provider of consumer survey-based leisure content. It is the "go to guide" for finding everything new and happening in a city, as well as a great tool for uncovering classic city gems.

Corcoran will help buyers find a place to live--and Zagat will make sure that is a home where they will come to life.
