Hanley Wood already acts as the nation’s premier media, information, and marketing services company in the real estate industry, but acquiring Metrostudy will no doubt solidify the company’s dominance in market research and analysis as well.

According to statements on BuilderOnline.com, one of Hanley Wood’s most recognizable publications, Metrostudy will be combined with the already existing Hanley Wood Market Intelligence division, but still expected to operate under the Metrostudy brand name. Hanley Wood Market Intelligence is no doubt America’s largest, most trusted source for residential real estate research and analysis, but adding Metrostudy’s resources and research capabilities now gives Hanley Wood an even broader geographic footprint and the ability to provide the most comprehensive, reliable, and sophisticated data analysis in the business.

As the housing market across the country continues to recover and critical investment and business decisions are made by home builders, manufacturers, and various other professionals working in real estate, the need for accurate market research and analytical data has become stronger than ever.

If you’re a baseball fan, perhaps you’ve heard about the blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins for superstar Hanley Ramirez. Of course, with Mr. Ramirez now officially playing in L.A., all the headlines creatively used the catch-phrase “Hanleywood” in place of “Hollywood” to welcome the starting 3^rd baseman to town with open arms.

One such headline I caught used wording such as “Welcome to Hanley-Wood,” while the MLB.com Facebook page even updated its status to: OFFICIAL: HANLEYWOOD IS BORN! So, what exactly does this have to do with real estate, you ask?

Well, what these sports outlets failed to realize is that Hanley Wood has been alive and well long before this week’s latest baseball transaction. In fact, those familiar with the real estate industry know Hanley Wood to be something much different than the latest baseball spectacle currently happening in Los Angeles.

Instead, Hanley Wood has been a cutting–edge business-to-business media and real estate data company for both the residential and commercial construction industry since 1976. With at least 14 magazine publications, over 30 websites, an Exhibitions division, Market Intelligence division, and full-service Marketing division, there’s no doubt Hanley Wood continues to make its mark among home builders, developers, and various other professionals servicing the residential and commercial construction business.

So if the Hanley Ramirez trade works out for L.A.’s beloved Dodgers and Hanleywood becomes an even bigger sensation, remember that there’s still only one true Hanley Wood, and it’s got nothing to do with baseball.
