The only organization

recognizing Atlanta real estate companies for excellence in website design,

the HBA has been promoting, protecting and preserving homeownership in

the greater Atlanta area since its inception in 1945. HBA is an affiliate

of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), headquartered in

Washington, D.C.

Presented Nov.

9 at HBA's Professionalism Awards banquet at the Georgia World Congress

Center and accepted by marketing coordinator Tisha Gay, the award has

already made a permanent home in the trophy case at Metro Brokers' corporate

headquarters -- next to last year's trophy.

Over the past

year, Metro Brokers has implemented a new instant message/chat feature

to enhance its Web site. Now, homebuyers can click and connect instantly

with Metro Mike to obtain specific information on schools and neighborhoods.

Just last month,

Metro Brokers became the first Atlanta real estate company to successfully

manage the migration process of both the FMLS and the MLS, including photos,

within the company Web site without data duplication. As a result, metrobrokers.com

has a database of 60,000 Atlanta area homes double that of any other website

serving the same area.

Metrobrokers.com

remains the most popular Web site in Atlanta, with an average of two million

hits and 6,500 unique visitors per week. The average visitor session,

or time spent on the Web site, is more than 21 minutes a lifetime in the

online world.
