Stevan Cirkovic, Homes.com director of product development explains, "An integral part of the Homes.com redesign in April 2007 was to optimize the content to be more search engine friendly, to add more homebuying tools, and to make the site the number one destination for searching real estate listings. We are thrilled to see that this investment has paid off with increased numbers of homebuyers searching homes for sale."
