Leading real estate industry consultant Victor Lund, partner and founder of says, “zavvie is targeting today–s marketing sweet spot for agents. Giving them an easy way to share their neighborhood expertise through hyperlocal marketing that leverages social media is a smart strategy.”

As a hyperlocal marketing system, zavvie is pioneering for real estate agents, a transition from traditional offline farm marketing to an online approach that is far more efficient and cost effective,” he adds.

Peterson says the company has become immediately popular with agents because it has built a better business model that works in today–s social media dominated world.

“At zavvie, we believe real estate is more about building community than it is about investing and making money,” Peterson says. “We think it–s more about people and relationships than it is about houses and transactions, and every top producing agent who believes this will tell you that when you do business this way, the money follows,” he adds.

zavvie offers exclusive, limited local territories for real estate agents who must demonstrate that they have an expertise in the local market they are securing. Once approved for a territory, agents receive access to zavvie–s hyperlocal marketing system that includes:

A hyperlocal neighborhood-themed website that establishes the agent–s web presence and reinforces his or her credibility as the local go-to pro in an exclusive territory.

A neighborhood Facebook page that highlights the agent as a local expert.

Content is automatically created and posted to the agent–s Facebook pages and local website every day, which engages Facebook–s EdgeRank algorithm and shows that the agent is highly active in the local market.

Most importantly, the zavvie mobile and desktop apps make creating original and unique hyperlocal content quick and easy, with listings and sold reviews that can be produced by an agent in the flow of their business, and quickly posted to an agent–s neighborhood website and social media accounts in about the same amount of time it takes to send a text message.

Agents also can share their expertise through market updates and insights using templates that also help expedite posts to an agent–s neighborhood website and social media accounts quickly and easily.

Agents also get support for Nextdoor.com, which is emerging as the next major real estate marketing channel.

“zavvie is not for every agent,” said Hornung, “but for full-time agents who want to build a long-term business, we already know from our 8z agents it works: on average, zavvie pros grow their business within their exclusive territory by 23% a year, reach over 2,000 people a month, generating over 100 Facebook engagements, and up to 5-10 local leads a month. That translates into real business, as our zavvie pros are extremely successful: They average over $8 million in sales and 20 closings a year.”
