Having just opened them in 2007, RealEstate.com has already pulled the plug on it’s Sierra Vista and Oro Valley offices. But instead of fessing up and announcing that it closed them because they couldn’t make a go of it, they chose to skirt the issue and pin the blame on Oro Valley and Sierra Vista, calling them tertiary markets. 3rd rate and apparently not good enough for the likes of RealEstate.com.
Imagine the gall.
Victor Vaca, national vice president of sales for Charlotte, N.C.-based RealEstate.com, said the closures were in line with moves the company has made in other, smaller markets across the country. Sierra Vista and Oro Valley are "tertiary" outlying markets, he said, and RealEstate.com is focused on core metro areas.
blah-blah-blah, and Good riddance. I’ll bet they sang a different tune when they opened in 07.
And how do you suppose the people in Oro Valley & Sierra Vista, whose homes are listed with RealEstate.com, feel.
PS – in case you’re amongst the multitude who’ve never heard of it, RealEstate.com is a residential real estate brokerage and the brainchild of Barry Diller’s IAC/InterActiveCorp.
