Baird & Warner Earns Multiple International Real Estate Marketing & Website Awards

CHICAGO, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Baird & Warner recently won "Best Overall Website," "Best Property Search," and "Best Property Advertising," recognizing its marketing and technology prowess among an international field of competitors.  The award-winning entries were chosen based on excellence in website design, functionality and execution — as well as creativity, quality and overall effectiveness.  The honors were presented at the Annual Conference of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE), which attracted real estate brokers and managers from across the globe.

Baird & Warner's website, (www.bairdwarner.com), also earned the Website Quality Certification (WQC) designation.  Every aspect of the Baird & Warner website was thoroughly reviewed to ensure exacting standards were met in eight key areas; ranging from design and content, to human interactivity, to search engine optimization.  The WQC was introduced to recognize and encourage superior websites among LeadingRE's 600 member firms worldwide.  Baird & Warner is one of only 64 applicants to earn this designation.

According to the independent marketing and technology experts who judged entries for the competition:  "Bairdwarner.com is an excellent site with extremely high usability.  It is simple, direct, engaging and packed with useful information that is conveyed using succinct, web-friendly writing.  Site is focused on what clients need."

"A real estate company's website plays an increasingly significant role with today's consumers, who often go there first when considering buying or selling a home.  It is a critical interactive medium necessary to attract and engage consumers meaningfully," said Pam O'Connor, president/CEO, LeadingRE.  

"On behalf of everyone at Baird & Warner, we're truly honored to be acknowledged among such an outstanding group of fellow nominees," said Jim Schiefelbein, Baird & Warner's vice president/Chief Marketing Officer, in accepting the awards on behalf of the company.  "The Internet has completely revolutionized real estate marketing in the past 15 years, and to be considered among the best at delivering our services to clients is absolutely incredible." Schiefelbein led the team that created the first real estate website in Chicagoland in 1995.
