Banks launch site for property listings
Sterling Savings Bank and Golf Savings Bank have jointly launched a Web site aimed at homebuyers looking at builder- and bank-owned properties. The two in-state banks are owned by Sterling Financial Corp.
The new site, www.sterling-golf-availableproperties.com, lists residential and commercial properties as well as condominiums, lots and land for development. It also offers financing options.
The site lists only 250 properties in eight states, but Ezra Eckhardt, acting president and chief operating officer of Sterling Savings Bank, thinks they're on to something big.
“We believe this innovative promotional effort contains several unique elements, making it likely to become an emerging best practice within the industry,” he said in a statement.
