Is There a Prudential Real Estate Office at the Shops at Tanforan, San Bruno?
December 10, 2010 · · 3 Comments

 

At the Shops at Tanforan, San Bruno, Ca., our Prudential California Realty, San Bruno office has a kiosk where 1,00′s of people pass by each day. We display a lot of our residential listings for sale in cities from San Francisco to San Jose, even some in the East Bay! We provide information on qualifying for a loan, current interest rates and payment scenarios to people interested in purchasing a home. We can also show local homeowners the current market value of their homes or rental property!

The success at our kiosk also works as a great real estate market activity indicator. In the recent months, our agents have made contact with more inquisitive home buyers than in the months before. As a market indicator, it would seem that more people are out there buying. Our sales are steady and the flow of people through the mall is constant!

With the holidays here, the Shops at Tanforan  have been doing a lot of promoting for their stores with the Shops at Tanforan Facebook page, newspaper ads, the My School’s Cool receipt program, Santa photos, cultural dance performances and radio shows!

No wonder our Prudential San Bruno kiosk does so well! Next time you are at the mall, stop by and see us! We’re happy to be your friends in real estate! You can also visit us at our Prudential San Bruno Facebook page!
