Connecting businesses with consumers since 2013 Michelle Cole FOUNDER 5 Michelle Cole, the founder of GS Media, discovered an opportunity when examining the home buying and selling process. It was clear that there is a need for a large variety of services before and after real estate transactions. We began with a simple start, working with individual real estate offices and discovered that an office with no more than 300 agents doesn't offer enough opportunity for substantial connections. The key to our success is partnering with local REALTOR Associations who have 6,000+ REALTOR Members. GS Media connects our clients with millions of home buyers each year. Some of our clients are: San Diego Association of REALTORS, Pacific West Association of REALTORS, Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS, Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS (member benefits partner), Boise Regional REALTORS, South Metro Denver REALTORS Association, Eugene Association of REALTORS. Recently expanding to the East Coast: Miami Association of REALTORS, South Shore REALTORS (Massachusetts), Granite State South Board of REALTORS. MISSION Connecting Real Estate Professionals, Businesses and Consumers, Before and After Real Estate Transactions. VISION There are a vast amount of websites pointing consumers to home service companies, farming out leads, and promoting companies with lack of integrity. It can be difficult for consumers to find reputable companies. The home services guide was created with a game changing purpose; In years to come it will be essential to all real estate transactions nationwide.
