VoiceByte Releases Social Media App That Allows Users to “Talk” to Followers, Debuts New Explainer Video

Sunday, September 29th, 2013


Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) September 16, 2013

VoiceByte is changing the way people are interacting with their social network followers. Celebrities, politicians, sports teams, models, real estate agents and comedians are already embracing the Australian-made iPhone app, which seeks to bridge the emotional gap that’s a side effect of text-based interactions.

The VoiceByte app, available in the App Store, allows users to record and share 15 seconds of audio with a picture on Facebook and Twitter. By adding their voice to their posts with VoiceByte, users have found they are able to make a more emotional and engaging connection with their followers when text just isn’t enough.

In Australia, where the app was developed by the brother team of Michael and Stephen Fenech, VoiceByte has already made an impact in the political world and the sporting arena. Matt Thistlethwaite, a Labor Party senator contesting a House of Representatives seat in the upcoming Federal Election on September 7, has used VoiceByte to talk directly to the voters and media who follow him on Twitter and Facebook. In the sporting world, South Sydney, the most famous and successful team in the National Rugby League (NRL) have also embraced VoiceByte to deliver team news and share game day photographs with an audio commentary. ANZ Stadium, the former Stadium Australia and the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, has also created a VoiceByte profile to share game day atmosphere and announcements.

Entertainers are getting in on the act, too. Comedian and impersonator Billy Birmingham known to his millions of fans as The 12th Man has made headlines with his use of VoiceByte. Birmingham has had seven successive number one albums based on his hilarious imitations of the Channel 9 cricket commentary team. Using VoiceByte, Birmingham was able to deliver new audio material in real time to his tens of thousands of Twitter followers during the recent Ashes Cricket Test series in England while it was broadcast live on Australian television.

Like many companies that have great solutions to real problems, VoiceByte needed an efficient way to explain their product and to demonstrate the variety of ways the app could be used. That’s when they turned to Fire Starter Videos, a Hollywood-based demo video company that specializes in helping companies explain what they do using the power of animated videos.

Creator Michael Fenech, who developed the app with his brother Stephen, has seen the app used in a variety of other ways as well. “The platform is an ideal content creation tool, so we’ve encountered a wide variety of other uses, including providing tips, motivational speeches, reviews, sharing parts of favorite songs, telling jokes and much more. And because there is no better way to convey your emotions than with your voice, VoiceByte has also been used by men and women in the military to stay connected to their loved ones at home. Our new video really emphasizes how just about anyone will benefit from using VoiceByte.”

VoiceByte is free to download from the App Store on iPhone. Interview requests can be sent to voicebyte(at)me(dot)com.

Fire Starter Videos make all kinds of animated videos from whiteboard animation videos, to animated cartoon videos to videos that demonstrate software. Their clients include MasterCard, UNICEF, Hayes, the World Bank, and more than 200 businesses, governments, schools, and other organizations. The demo video company is located at 7083 Hollywood Blvd. To view examples of their work and commission a video, please visit their website at http://www.FireStarterVideos.com or email Adam Hudson at Info(at)FireStarterVideos(dot)com.

Austin Luxury Homes Brokerage Regent Property Group Releases Luxury Real Estate Statistics July 2013 Report

Sunday, August 4th, 2013


Austin, Texas (PRWEB) July 31, 2013

Boutique Austin luxury homes brokerage Regent Property Group is reporting that 265 homes have sold over the million dollar mark in Austin, Texas year to date (January 1 to July 30, 2013.) The high sold price so far this year is $ 5,860,000 (about $ 755.12 per square foot,) the average sold price is $ 1,599,562 (about $ 320.44 per square foot,) and the median sold price is $ 1,365,000 (about $ 299.03 per square foot.)

Average and median sold prices continue to increase for Austin luxury homes, said Regent Property Group founder Brian Talley. We saw them rise about another $ 20,000 this month, and with days on the market continuing to shrink, we might see even more in the way of price increases.

The average days on the market for luxury homes sold thus far in 2013 is 100, with 44 as the median. The average days on the market for luxury homes sold in June 2013 was 67, with 42 as the median.

Talley commented that these statistics are based upon Multiple Listing Service information and that some of the highest priced homes are sold independently of a listing service. These statistics show us trends, certainly, but there is even more going on in the luxury real estate market than these indicate. Luxury brokers such as Regent often handle private deals that would skew the statistics even higher.

Regent Property Group has proven itself to be a leader in the Austin luxury homes market, across areas: from master-planned resort communities such as Barton Creek to waterfront homes on Lake Austin to golf course frontage homes.

June 2013 saw 46 luxury homes sold, with a high sold price of $ 4,875,000 (about $ 581.81 per square foot,) an average sold price of $ 1,561,126 (about $ 306.23 per square foot,) and a median sold price of $ 1,340,000 (about $ 295.28 per square foot.)

There were 350 Austin luxury homes – properties listed for sale over $ 1 million – in the MLS as of July 30, 2013. The high list price for these homes was $ 14.5 million, with an average list price of about $ 2.38 million (about $ 404 per square foot) and a median list price of $ 1.74 million (about $ 341 per square foot.)

The Karten Group Releases Music Video to Attract Viewers to Short Sale Options

Monday, December 24th, 2012


Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

For Mark Karten, a Las Vegas Real Estate agent specializing in short sales, every day holds opportunity and frustration. “It’s so hard to communicate with people under financial distress,” Karten says. “I know what they’re going through and I have the answers to help – but I can’t catch their attention.” His website, LasVegas-ShortSale-Specialist.com, is a good start.

Karten continues, “The words ‘short sale’ are an immediate disconnect for homeowners and I don’t know why, when a short sale may be the best way out of a bad situation.”

After working successfully to relieve so many homeowners of their underwater homes, Karten saw a pattern in the feedback he was getting from his clients. “One after another, my sellers would tell me how compassionate I was through the process, that I was always there for them and very patient, no matter how many questions they had.”

It doesn’t hurt that Karten works seven days a week and personally negotiates each sale himself with the banks. “I feel very strongly about what I’m able to do for people who are eligible to short sale. I will stop at nothing to get them through a bad financial situation,” says Karten.

After hearing a news story that the average American’s attention span is three and a half minutes, Karten knew what he had to do. He wrote a script and created an entertaining storyline to generate interest in the benefits of a short sale.

The result can now be seen on his website, YouTube and other links around the internet, and the response has been exceptionally positive. “I didn’t want to make something cheesy but it did need to be fun. I think we achieved our goal.” Karten continues, “As it turned out, this is now the first of three videos, as the storyline continues to a surprising conclusion. We’ll be releasing the additional segments through early 2013.”

Karten says, “If I can get one person to reach out and learn what their options are, then the video has done its job. Then I can really get to work for them.”

About The Karten Group – Started in 2007, Mark Karten heads a team of Las Vegas Realtors who specialize in representing sellers and buyers throughout Las Vegas and Henderson. Mark Karten is highly trained to achieve the best outcome for homeowners. His designations and certifications include Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Certified Foreclosure Alternatives Consultant (CFAC), Certified Short Sale Professional (CSP) and Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR.) Although headquartered in Las Vegas, the group serves the entire Las Vegas Valley, including North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch, Mountains Edge, Green Valley, Henderson and Lake Las Vegas.

The Karten Group has negotiated successful short sales for homeowners with loans from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase, GMAC, Seterus, Nationstar, Suntrust and many others.
