(Brookings, OR, 02/27/2008) -- Amy Myrah of Beckley and Company Real Estate is one of 17 real estate agents in Oregon chosen by Realtor.com to receive the "Real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence."

She was also the only real estae agent in Curry County to receive the award.

The award recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing services on behalf of their sellers.

"There are always some real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other agents by doing a little more for their sellers – and Amy Myrah is one of them," said Max Pigman, vice president of Realtor.com.

"In particular; when the homes they are listing are placed on well-trafficked real estate sites, even simple efforts like having more photos displayed, crafting better descriptions or adding a full motion video, can make a home stand out from competing property," Pigman added.

"The extra steps agents like Amy are taking on behalf of their clients is the reason we thought it worthwhile to call out the effort we have seen these agents make online and to recognize them for providing these added value services," Pigman said.

"I believe that aggressive Internet marketing is a crucial part of a home marketing plan since so many buyers use the Internet to find their next home," Myrah said."With so many listings on the market, I want to make sure that my sellers' properties stand out so that no potential buyer opportunities are missed."
