SAN FRANCISCO, September 18, 2009 - NationalBLS, the buyer listing service, announced the creation of an advisory board composed of two individuals who are well known in their respective fields: real estate visionary Stefan Swanepoel and veteran internet executive Laura Chambers.

Swanepoel is highly recognized in the real estate industry and has penned 15 books, whitepapers, and reports including the 1998 Amazon bestseller Real Estate confronts Reality (1997), the sequel Real Estate Confronts the Future (2004), the annual Swanepoel TRENDS Report and the annual Swanepoel SOCIAL MEDIA Report. His academic accomplishments include a bachelor's in science, a master's in business economics and diplomas in arbitration, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, computer science and marketing.
Laura Chambers is currently the Chief of Staff at eBay. She has led product and strategy teams at eBay, Skype, and most recently PayPal. Laura has also advised several media and internet start-ups. Prior to joining eBay, Laura worked as a management consultant for McKinsey & Co in Australia. Laura has a BA in Arts and a BA in Commerce from the University of Melbourne and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
"We are keen to build out a diverse advisory board to help guide us to success. Our initial appointments of Swanepoel and Chambers represent two extremely talented forward thinking experts in their respective fields, and we are excited to have them on board. We look forward to working with them and taking advantage of their skills and knowledge" said Duncan Logan, Founder and CEO of NationalBLS.
NationalBLS is working with the real estate industry to create a more vibrant, transparent and liquid real estate market. Together, they are solving the big information gap that currently exists: information about the qualifications and desires of prospective buyers.
Through creating a national database of prospective buyers, and linking in sellers and agents, NationalBLS bridges this gap. This brings great, targeted deals to buyers, and provides sellers and real estate agents unprecedented information about and access to the true demand for their properties.
