The Search is on for the Most Visible Professionals (MVP) in Real Estate

7 days left to find the most connected real estate professionals

Palo Alto, California - July 20, 2009 - Proxio, the first international MLS and global referral network, today announces the final countdown to finding the Most Visible Professionals (MVP) in Real Estate™. Held with support from Inman News, the Proxio MVP search sets out to identify the top most connected real estate professionals in the industry, from brokers and agents to industry consultants, bloggers and writers.

Commenting on the search, Janet Case, co-founder and CEO of Proxio says, “Nominations are streaming in, and we are delighted to see how much some real estate professionals are using social media to build an online presence. Proxio believes that success in real estate is all about connections and networking; there’s no better way to maximize business. We are looking forward to showcasing the most-connected professionals and their practice of using online methods to gain visibility with consumers and among peers.”

The list of most connected professionals will be announced on July 28, 2009. In addition to being recognized as a Proxio Real Estate MVP, top industry professionals will be featured on Proxio’s international website, with exposure to agents in 65 countries. Furthermore, the top 25 will be recognized at Proxio’s exclusive MVP Mixer at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on August 4, 2009, the eve of Inman’s Real Estate Connect San Francisco 2009.

To participate, real estate professionals simply fill out a quick online survey about their usage of social media before July 26, 2009 at 11.59PM EDT. Proxio and certified judges will then determine the most connected through an online weighting algorithm, especially developed for this search.
