Real estate offices can save thousands each month through adoption of new methods
PARAMUS, N. J., Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Property Hub Realtors ) has tackled the problem of unpredictable housing markets by engineering an adaptable, cost-saving approach to traditional realty operations. The New Jersey-based brokerage has eliminated all of the wasteful, resource-intensive drains on revenue that are typical of brick and mortar offices. Instead, Property Hub has developed a revolutionary "virtual and paperless" solution to the problem of document storage and retrieval.
Some realtors balk at the notion of a virtual, paperless infrastructure. However, the client-facing aspects of Property Hub are indistinguishable from any other real estate office. The brokerage consists of dedicated professionals who meet with buyers and sellers every day. Negotiations are still carried out face to face. Property Hub strongly believes in the importance of the human element in all business transactions. The biggest difference between Property Hub and a traditional office is the vastly reduced overhead.
When a real estate office adopts the Property Hub model and goes paperless, the savings are both immediate and significant. A typical office might spend $3,000 monthly on receptionists, $1,500 on office supplies, $800 on utilities and $400 on a cleaning service. The virtual and paperless approach slashes these numbers by half or more. For large real estate offices, the monthly savings potential is nearly $10,000, all of which can be allocated to smarter, faster lead generation tools.
Property Hub Realtors recognizes the potential of the web and social media marketing to generate leads, maintain client relationships and enhance brand identity. Web-based mobile tools allow agents to manage documents online and on the fly, communicate with clients instantly, and optimize their listings with both search engines and social media. Syndicated listings help generate leads with minimal time and effort. Property Hub believes that, when implemented properly, new technology makes for smarter, faster and more effective real estate agents.
Property Hub Realtors offers an alternative to declining revenue and stagnation. Based on its success in New Jersey, the brokerage is eager to expand into new cities and regions. Franchising opportunities will soon be available for real estate offices that want to transition toward a new way of doing business.

"Utilizing the web has given us the ability to run our entire operation online and paperless, 24/7/365," says Carmelo "Mel" Oliveri, founder of Property Hub Realtors. "Our real estate agents can work from anywhere there is Internet access, and I, as the broker of the office, can review all of their documents online. We don't need a full-time secretary, filing cabinets, expensive office supplies, or anything else that drags on revenue. This technology is currently underutilized in the real estate world; Property Hub Realtors is breaking exciting new ground and will ideally become a model for future growth."
About Property Hub Realtors

Carmelo "Mel" Oliveri saw the opportunity for a virtual, paperless office that would drastically curb overhead expenses. He hired a software developer to breathe life into his idea. Today, Property Hub Realtors is profitable and looking for expansion opportunities.
