Press Release Summary: Coldwell Banker Wardley Real Estate's RICHARD & LORI BALLEN
Recognized for Internet Marketing Excellence

Press Release Body: Las Vegas, Nevada March 7th, 2008 -- Nationally renowned real
estate marketing and technology speaker and REALTOR.com® Vice President, Max Pigman,
has presented to Richard & Lori Ballen of Coldwell Banker Wardley Real Estate in
Summerlin, Nevada the "Real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence". The Award
of Excellence recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing
services on behalf of their buyers and sellers.

"There are always some real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other
agents by doing a little more for their sellers. In particular; when the home they
are selling is placed on a well trafficked site such as the 1st ranked
REALTOR.com®,1 even simple efforts like having more photos displayed, crafting
better descriptions or adding a full motion video, can make a home stand out from
competing properties," says Max Pigman, Vice President of REALTOR.com®.

The excellence award was presented to Richard & Lori Ballen at a recent Las Vegas
real estate marketing and technology seminar that demonstrated cutting edge
techniques for leveraging the Internet and technology in real estate marketing.

Richard & Lori Ballen says, "Our seller clients appreciate how we can help bring
more attention to the unique selling attributes of their home and ultimately help
attract more qualified buyers. Buyers are also appreciative of a well presented
home that has a better description and more ways to learn about the property before
arranging an appointment. While it's certainly an honor to receive this award, we
think ultimately it would be a disservice not to make REALTOR.com® and the Internet
part of your standard home marketing plan. Some day soon most agents working in Las
Vegas Real Estate will see it as a must have requirement instead of something
special. We're already seeing that change"

"The extra steps agents like Richard & Lori Ballen are taking on behalf of their
clients is the reason we thought it worthwhile to call out the effort we have seen
these agents make online and to recognize them for providing these added value
services to the Las Vegas & Summerlin Real Estate Market," says Mr. Pigman.

REALTOR.com® is just one of the many ways Richard & Lori Ballen are leveraging
recent trends in home buyer online behavior to their clients benefit.
