- Redesign of our web site
- Launch of our agent centric HomeGain Real Estate Blog
- Launch of our AgentEvaluator™ content integration with Yahoo! on Yahoo! Real Estate Find A Realtor®
- Launch of homescout, a free listing site for HomeGain members to post their listings

We also renewed our commitment to customer and employee satisfaction and loyalty.
Finally, we named our new orange gorilla mascot.

We are proud to present to you the star of our Gorilla Marketing Campaign, MAX.

Honestly, I was skeptical of yet ‘another’ corporate tacky stuffed animal concept; however HomeGain hasn’t gone down this path before. Max certainly isn’t just any ordinary stuffed animal, he’s simply awesome! He’s supportive in assisting in your Real Estate needs, has a colorful personality and is well liked by everyone. He’s a true team player.
Cheers to ‘Max’imizing HomeGain’s marketing efforts. Go Max! ~ Kerry

Who do I have to get a hold of to get an interview with Max?
He’s not returning my calls. Can you have his people call my people so we can set something up?
Thanks!

Max is making numerous public appearances, please contact me at the agency to see if we can give you access to him for 15 minutes.
