About Imprev

Imprev serves one of the largest industries in the U.S. economy: residential real estate, which comprises 10% of our Gross Domestic Product. In terms of services industries, real estate is second only to Health Care. More than one-third of the average American's household income goes to housing and unlike other sectors of the real estate industry, real estate advertising and marketing investments are not as cyclical: the industry spent an estimated $22 billion in advertising in 2011, and online, agents, brokers, builders and mortgage lenders spent nearly $9 billion, making real estate the second-largest online advertising category.
 
For more than a decade, Imprev has helped real estate professionals impress their clients by creating beautiful and professional digital flyers (which can also be printed), postcards, video, virtual tours, Craigslist display ads, multimedia, iPad presentations, and e-marketing (Facebook/Twitter/email) material that agents can easily personalize. Imprev Real Estate Marketing Centers feature dozens of products, making it simple for agents to enhance their own personal image, and harness the influence of their brand without the added expense of an outside advertising agency or designer. Imprev-powered Marketing Centers also feature personalized marketing campaigns to help agents effortlessly manage relationships with their clients to stay connected to current, past and potential customers.
Bellevue-based and privately-owned, Imprev, Inc. is the leading provider of private-label Marketing and Design Centers for real estate brokerage firms, licensed real estate agents and leading brokerage firms worldwide. No other real estate marketing technology corporation works with more agents and brokers than Imprev.
Working at Imprev
You'll work in our new space. It's architecturally designed and configured to maximize collaboration between our Engineering, Quality Assurance and Creative teams. Our employee lounge with a decked-out kitchen is where you can take a break and enjoy an killer cup-of-Joe from our Jura coffee machine, snag a company-provided refreshment from a fully-loaded fridge, play Call of Duty or your favorite Xbox 360 game on the big flat screen, enjoy beer-o'clock on Friday afternoons or just decompress on the couch to recharge your batteries. In the warmer months, enjoy our awesome deck where you can stretch out to soak in the sun and get some fresh air.
 
The building is near all major bus lines, free parking, an outdoor eating area with fountain, a café downstairs, and an onsite workout facility (monthly fee). We're close to downtown Bellevue, but far enough away (at SE 8th and 112th) to avoid downtown parking and traffic lights with ample, easy free parking. Our culture is fun, supportive, positive and respectful. What you won't find are shouting matches -- ever. When you work hard and contribute to our success, you'll be well-rewarded. Long hours are sometimes a must everywhere, but we're not a place for 80-hour workaholics: we WANT you to have a life. That's why we have a generous vacation policy and the management team demonstrates its flexibility when outside obligations must be met.
