"Developing deep partnerships within the real estate industry has been a long-standing goal of This Old House due to the home improvement projects consumers initiate when they're preparing to sell a home and move into another one," said Eric Thorkilsen, CEO of This Old House Ventures. "We want to partner with the industry to expand the content experience of the traditional real estate search website and create deeper engagement with the consumer for the real estate professional."

Luthra notes that providing useful and trusted content will not only increase engagement and session time with consumers, but will also provide truly relevant home improvement, decorating and other home-related resource, including exclusive video segments from the popular and Emmy-winning "This Old House" TV show, that will serve as a continuing engagement tool for agents to turn their consumers into clients for life.

"The other unique ways that TOHREN will serve our real estate publishers," Luthra continues, "is by providing publishers with an additional income stream by selling non-invasive advertising opportunities created around their content as well as other inventory provided by the publisher in exchange for a revenue sharing opportunity."

"And finally, there is inherent value in an association and partnership with a brand as well-known and well-respected by consumers as This Old House. Real estate companies in this TOHREN network can promote this association as a means of building greater credibility with consumers, while providing these consumers with meaningful content that will have them returning for more."
