THE NEXT STEP REALTY LAUNCHES WEBSITE - http://www.thenextsteprealty.com/

Palm Beach, FL – (May 6, 2010) – The Next Step Realty, a real estate network that caters to the 20-something crowd has launched its website: http://www.thenextsteprealty.com/. The company, co-founded by Blair Brandt and Belton Baker connects its clientele of recent college graduates entering a new market to young, like-minded real estate brokers with similar interests. The brokers take care of the entire rental transaction; and are selected for their ability to make the process efficient, budget savvy and hassle-free for the recent graduate entering their new profession in their new city.

COO, Belton Baker explains, “The Next Step Realty is a network based on a revolutionary concept that fundamentally changes the way promising college graduates transition from academia to the real world.” Adds Blair Brandt, co-founder and CEO, “When the transition of ending college and entering the new world is upon students, the last item on the agenda is the need to find housing, especially in a city that is unfamiliar. We put our network of promising post-grad clients directly in touch with a young, up-and-coming broker who specializes in the specific leasing needs and budget parameters of that client.”

Utilizing different types of social media such as organizations’ email lists, Blogspots, Facebook, texting, and Twitter, the company has exploded onto the real estate rental scene with the college graduate demographic who pass on their experiences to their friends. Clients must be introduced into the system by selecting which of The Next Step Realty’s 400 campus contacts referred them on the website and which of the 100 target colleges they attend or attended.

The Next Step Realty is a network of 35 brokers in 17 cities including: Manhattan, Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Richmond, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Hamptons, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Miami. The company is an associate of Tina Fanjul Associates, Inc Real Estate, a Palm Beach brokerage with offices in Florida and Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic.

What Amex And Delta Will Do To Get More Biz...

It's a sad thing when I think this is good thing...Beginning June 1st, travelers with a Gold, Platinum or Reserve Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express — and up to eight travel companions — may check their first bag for free on Delta and Delta Connection® flights. That's a savings of up to $50 on a round-trip ticket or $200 for a family of four every time you travel.
