eppraisal.com Partners with Yahoo!

We’re proud to announce that eppraisal.com has partnered with Yahoo! Real Estate in their completely revamped home valuations section.

Michael Yang, GM of Yahoo! Real Estate:

Yahoo! Real Estate is dedicated to delivering comprehensive real estate resources and information on the Web. For our Home Values Center we brought together the top home valuation data from across the Web, including eppraisal.com, so that our users can have immediate access to key home valuation information.

When you search for a property on Yahoo! Real Estate, you will now get back 3 results. One from eppraisal.com, Reply, and Zillow. You can click through any of these results to get the detailed property, neighborhood and valuation information directly on one of the websites.

I had a chance to chat with Steve Schultz, Director of of Products for Yahoo! Real Estate, about why they have redone their Home Valuations section, and what they hope to achieve with it. He gave me three reasons for this move, all revolving around end users:

1. A more complete picture in one convenient space.
2. Enhanced content for buyers and sellers on why to sell/buy a home. This was done through folding in Yahoo! Answers.
3. Provide more local connections. Integration of Yahoo! Local into the system for better business connections and appraisals.

We’re excited about the partnership, and welcome all of the new Yahoo! users to eppraisal.com.
