Getmyhomesvalue.com

GetMyHomesValue.com is a Lancaster, Pennsylvania based online real estate service company founded in 2003 by three young entrepreneurs from the Lancaster area with a real estate background - Dave Conklin, Rory Wilfong, and Steve Young. GetMyHomesValue established itself as one of the industry leaders in online lead generation for the real estate industry without the added benefit of investment from venture capitalists, a necessity for many internet companies following the bust of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990's.

Conklin, Wilfong, and Young founded GetMyHomesValue.com, Inc. in 2003, and launched it online in 2004. GetMyHomesValue.com started as an online lead generation service for realtors, but in following years diversified its services to include internet marketing services and customer relationship management (CRM) software to realtors.

Company
GetMyHomesValue has stated that it is an online lead generation company for realtors. Leads are generated for realtors through GetMyHomesValue's offering of free property evaluation services to consumers with an interest in discovering their homes value.

Service features
GetMyHomesValue connects consumers with real estate needs to realtors. Consumers can receive a complimentary property value of their home regardless of whether or not it is for sale. In addition to giving value estimates of homes, GetMyHomesValue also provides lead generation, coaching, customer relationship management software, and internet marketing services to realtors through a monthly subscription service.

History
GetMyHomesValue.com was founded in 2003 and launched online in 2004, spurred when a company on the west coast proposed buying online real estate leads to Conklin and Wilfong.

The company began as an exclusive lead generation service for realtors with no start-up venture capital. GetMyHomesValue had a major initial obstacle to overcome: GetMyHomesValue was able to generate leads from all over the United States - but the two realtors only serviced Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and its surrounding areas. The company's subscription-based lead generation service was quickly introduced to meet consumer demand.

GetMyHomesValue proved financially successful in its first year, grossing over $360,000 (USD) in 2004. In 2005, GetMyHomesValue earned over $2.5 million (USD); in 2006, $3.6 million (USD). At the end of 2006, Central Penn Business Journal recognized GetMyHomesValue's success by awarding them "Emerging Business of the Year."

In 2007, GetMyHomesValue began a transition from being solely a lead generation service to turning into a comprehensive internet marketing service for realtors. Available to realtors for the first time in August 2007, the suite of internet marketing services GetMyHomesValue provided dramatically increased client retention rates.

In August 2008, GetMyHomesValue was to be ranked in Inc. Magazine's annual list of the 500 fastest growing privately held companies in the United States.
