Optimizes value proposition with three integral, complementary divisions

San Ramon, CA, July 23, 2007 — Synergy Corporate Housing today announced that it has completed the evolution of its business into three integrated divisions, Synergy Corporate Housing, Synergy Residential Sales & Leasing, and Synergy Lending. This combination of services enables Synergy to maximize its value proposition to its corporate clients, their employees, and the ever-expanding relocation industry by providing seamless interim housing and real estate solutions. It also distinguishes Synergy as the only corporate housing company to provide real estate and lending under one roof.

Synergy entered the corporate housing market in 1999 under the direction of two industry veterans. It became evident that Synergy clients would also benefit from the services of a knowledgeable real estate professional, someone familiar with each client’s individual circumstances, while buyers would benefit from help securing a mortgage. Housing all three of these services under one umbrella enables Synergy to meet its clients’ diverse needs while offering scalable cost savings.

Synergy Founding Partner Henry Luebbert reports, “We are very proud of the enhanced value proposition that our organization now offers, not only to our corporate customers, but also to the relocation industry. With the addition of Synergy Residential Sales and Leasing, and Synergy Lending, our organization is truly prepared to accommodate everyone from interns to executives, in all types of housing, from temporary to permanent. We are convinced that this brings something unique to the marketplace.”

Some of the Benefits

Synergy Corporate Housing clients enjoy superior furnished accommodation for extended stays, including unparalleled service, cultural packages, executive wellness, a range of in-home comforts designed to create a sense of luxury, and high-tech conveniences to ensure efficiency and productivity.

With Synergy Residential Sales and Leasing, clients benefit from the security of working with a team of professionals with 40 years of combined real estate experience, whom they already know and trust and who clearly understand their individual circumstances. This translates to better service, incalculable convenience and significant time savings. Uniquely, lessees are treated with the same level of care and attention as buyers. Additionally, clients receive complimentary moving services from a Synergy Corporate Apartment, a Synergy satisfaction guarantee, and, depending on use of one, two, or all three Synergy services, savings of 10 percent, 15 percent or 20 percent on commissions, which can be applied toward temporary corporate housing stays or non-recurring closing costs. On an $800,000 purchase, at the standard 3 percent commission, that equates to a savings of $4,800.

Synergy Lending clients receive affordability analysis to help weigh the impact of a move or transfer, mortgages at the lowest available rates with flexible programs, no up-front fees, optional online availability of forms and other resources, a mobile notary service, free educational seminars covering everything from credit scores to leveraging equity, and Synergy’s satisfaction guarantee. Most importantly, Synergy Lending Officers pride themselves on their integrity. John Jeha, President of Synergy Lending, has more than 25 years of financial service experience, a record free of any buy-backs or defaults, and a 15-year history in relocation, which is unique to most lending divisions.

“The Synergy business model is built on the benefits and quality of service that our clients receive,” Jeha said. “We feel one of our most powerful marketing tools is the word of mouth that our clients provide when they tell their friends, families and colleagues about the level of service and savings they receive from us.”

Ultimately the most important benefits are found in the seamless use of all three coordinated, bundled Synergy services.
