JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (July 27, 2011) – The Real Estate and Living Media (REALM) Network, the online advertising service of the LPS Real Estate Group, announced today that Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) has chosen REALM to operate its entire online advertising footprint, reaching both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumers (B2C) audiences. Through this agreement, REALM will now be delivering highly targeted advertising to both real estate consumers and professionals across the entire spectrum of MRED online channels, including its MLS system and consumer-facing website.
