Thanks to Comcast‘s new on-demand service, homebuyers can scout out potential purchases from the comfort of their own home, writes Dan Schuyler. Schuyler talked to Comcast’s Steve Schwartz about Comcast’s videos and real-estate listings for a sponsored article in October’s New Homes.
Comcast Spotlight, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, has been using the power of cable TV to reach out to local, regional and national advertisers for a while now. More than a year ago, the company made the decision to piggyback the real-estate industry onto this very effective tool.
