Thread: Real Estate Directories

How about mine ?

www.estatefirms.com ?
It's a paid directory, $24.95 for a 1 year listing. (Does that sound like $2 a month) ?

This thread is now sticky, I want to send people here when searching for real estate directories. Feel free to share personal experiences everyone. With directories that have helped you the most, and those that didn't.

Since I got invied officially I will post mine

We have paid and free options - I wouldn't like to discuss paid ones, so here are the free:

Our directory provides you with a free listing that pretty much similar to any other directories and includes your Title, URL and Description, but that's not all - in addition to that you can include a direct link to your MLS Search page and direct link to your listings page - this way our visitors can go straight to the point Also, if you happend to have Real Estate Blog you can import its RSS/XML feed into your listing. Each listing has its own listing detail page and your blog head lines (with small snipets of the articles if configured) will appear on that page. Also, you can provide a content about your real estate web site, your business, areas you serve and I will include that content into your listing detail page too. A lot of these details pages have PR3 now and get direct traffic from search engines, so people go straight to your sites. Listing details pages are pretty much otimized for your listing - title of the page has the same title as your listing, you provide your own relevant content (unlimited amount of words) and you can include links to your internal pages that would support that content.

To see some examples go to the directory and check out the featured areas on the right hand side.

One account allows multiple submissions - easy to manage this way. You can change your submissions at any time, although I keep it to myself to review all the submissions and changes. All submissions reviewed manually. Paid submission doesn't guarantee inclussion (of course I don't take money if rejected). Free submission requires link back to the directory from any page on your site. I don't demand page to be indexed and have PR, but I expect it to be idexed sometime soon.

If you would like to read more about these options here is some info http://www.ibsteam.net/topic4.html
