Citi has increased its advertising program for mortgages on StreetEasy, including multiple ad placements, sponsorship of content, and visibility for approved pre-certified buildings. In addition, the Citi brand will be amplified, in terms of advertising, on Zillow’s desktop and mobile experiences.

Citi’s special mortgage features such as an on-time closing guarantee and relationship pricing will be available through the online sites, as well as expanded consumer support services with Citi representatives.

“Today, the vast majority of potential homebuyers begin their property searches online,” said CD Davies, Head of Citi’s Mortgage business globally. “We are stepping up our digital presence in the real estate space to ensure we are a leading mortgage provider in the markets we serve. Zillow offers us the opportunity to reach homebuyers and engage the real estate community in an easily accessible and productive way.”
