Please give us a short summary of your website?
My web site is designed to make it easy for home buyers to search for property that meets their criteria in the comfort of their own home. I attempt to make it user friendly and generate community trust. On it I have not only information about home listings, but demographic info on schools, employment, crime, neighborhoods, government statistics, etc...
What inspired you to launch your own website?
The web is and will be the future of Real Estate marketing and client lead generation. Hence you need to brand yourself apart from your competitors.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Around 1999 I had a Telecom Consulting company and created a web site for general information and marketing.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
Part was available key words to my market, second was something you can remember.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
Ease of use, and I am currently going to revamp it to make it even more user friendly as I collect suggestions from users.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
Maintain a regular stream of potential clients and build long term dependability with previous clients and garner repeat business.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
So far so good.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
What would I change or do different? I don't have that kind of time to type that much information, if I did I probably could afford to have someone else typing this for me.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Someone once told me, 'Money is good whenever it comes'. It's not like your going to say, darn I wish I wasn't making that money now. Those problems are good problems and you make solutions.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Slow economy and housing market. Unrealistic buyers and sellers. Fewer buyers, no shortage of sellers.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Getting my rankings ahead of others and staying there.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Back link generations and blogs. Type type type type away.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Takes a lot of time and effort, I enjoy it but can only do it in slower periods.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
4 years and going......and going......and going.....>
