leader in online real estate operated by Move, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVE),
today launched "The realtor.com® FACEOFF," an online promotion with
the San Jose Sharks. The sweepstakes, which is running now through
March 13, lets users vote on favorite

players. The grand prize includes a day with the Sharks, two VIP
seats to the Sharks vs. Washington Capitals game on March 22 and travel accommodations. Contest
participants are also eligible to win one of five signed Sharks
jerseys and five signed pucks.
The grand prize winner and a guest will begin game day with a

enjoying a meet and greet with select Sharks players. After which,
they will tour Sharks Ice, the Sharks' training and practice
facility, including the locker room, gym and skate sharpening room.

ice for the game and will be seated in prime Club Level seats.
"We are proud to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity of
spending a day with the Sharks as part of our FACEOFF sweepstakes.
This is especially exciting after this past weekend of Olympic
hockey where we watched Sharks players bring home gold for team
Canada," said Barbara O'Connor, chief marketing officer at
realtor.com®. "As a San Jose-based
company located a few blocks away from SAP Center, the team is
important to many of our employees as well as our audience. Home is
a very personal experience for consumers and this promotion offers
participants the opportunity to connect directly with Sharks
players and learn more about what is important to them in a
home."

like realtor.com® that encourages fan engagement. This promotion is
a perfect example of that," said John
Castro, vice president of sales and service for the Sharks.

forward to dynamic interactive promotions that benefit both
organizations as well as our fans."
