RealtyTrac, Coldwell Banker Join Forces

RealtyTrac, an Irvine, Calif.-based online marketplace for foreclosure properties, and Coldwell Banker Platinum Properties, a real estate brokerage in Orange County, Calif., have announced a strategic partnership. "Agents and brokers at Coldwell Banker Platinum Properties will have access to real-time data directly from RealtyTrac's nationwide foreclosure database, and users of Coldwell's website will also be able to access distressed properties, including properties in pre-foreclosure, auction, or bank-owned properties," said Rick Sharga, vice president of marketing at RealtyTrac. "That in turn will help drive more traffic and leads to the agent websites." The companies can be found on the Web at http://www.realtytrac.com and http://www.cbplatinumproperties.com.
