Shockingly enough, Evander Holyfield Highway in Fayette County, Georgia is home to none other than Evander Holyfield. The former world champion boxer has a home to fit all of his trophies and then some. Known to many as the largest home in the country, the mansions boasts 109 rooms and straddles 235 acres of land. It also comes with an astronomical mortgage payment and property upkeep fees. According to local reports, the boxer’s $10 million mortgage on the property was past due and rapidly approaching foreclosure. Washington Mutual demanded the full repayment of the loan and scheduled the auction for July. Luckily Holyfield paid up and the foreclosure procedures were stopped. Maybe next time Evander will stay on top of his payments, because what would Evander Holyfield Highway be without him?

Condo.com (www.condo.com), the World’s Largest Condo Marketplace, announced today that it has launched the “Building Expert” product on over 10,000 condo buildings across the country. The new product enables agents to claim their expertise and become the expert for one or more resale buildings on the site.

“Agents who have experience with a specific building or group of buildings can now easily demonstrate their expertise by associating their picture, name and contact information to that building each time it gets searched”, said Richard Swerdlow, CEO of Condo.com. “Buyer’s agents that want hyper-targeted exposure at the building level can now get in on Condo.com when a building is displayed in search results or on the map interface.

Matt Pluznick, VP of Strategic Development added, “We’ve automated the product as an e-commerce item so agents can easily stake their claim to buildings on the site. We kept hearing from agents that they wanted to get leads from specific buildings in which they lived or had spent time showing units, so we created this product for them. Although we have launched with 10,000 buildings, we will be adding new markets daily and agents can suggest any building they like which creates a limitless number of opportunities for them to utilize the product.”
