"With over 17,000 properties in dozens of destinations in the US and Canada, ResortQuest's property search and booking process needed to work for everything from high-rise accommodations in Maui to luxury ski lodges in Aspen," noted Christopher Fahey, Partner at Behavior Design. "The new website includes many tools and features designed to close sales and keep loyal customers coming back again and again."

Kristina Jonathan, Director of Marketing and Internet Strategy for ResortQuest, said, "With Behavior's help, we developed an easy-to-use, attractive, and informative web site for all constituents - consumers, homeowners, and travel trade.

Now that the site is launched, we are thrilled to see it quickly become a success with consumers and homeowners."
