Thread: Need ideas for real estate website

It sounds like you are interested in real estate in general. Or you're trying to "get in" on a possible profit from a real estate site. You may want to start a blog as a real estate enthusiast on that domain name. That may lead to some advertising opportunities for you.

Hi, I already have lots of blogs and don't want to do that with this domain. I'm looking for ways to get people to list properties for sale there or find a source to get them and list them myself.

hmm, well most MLS's will not let you list them yourself on a site that is not run my a member...

I was suggesting the blog as a way to gain trust in the industry and offer listing advertising there.

First google for domain buyers/sellers. See what they will give you. Then call various RE agents and companies and see what they will give you. Sell to the highest and forget about RE sites.
I look for FREE places to advertise online and unless the page rank is high, it is not worth the time to me to use them. For you selling may be much easier than spending money trying to get hits, ads, excellent page rank to make advertisers/agents and buyers/sellers to visit. Sell it and move on.

join the mls and then you can usually post all the homes.

Have been in the same boat and have just done a conversion job on an old property site that with "Gites" Listings in France. Have not done 15 posts so if you want to have a look: gites-in-france dot co.uk

Having read a lot about the power of blogs, I decided to convert the content part over to a blog using Wordpress and the free mimbo theme.

Have seen a significant increase in traffic.

I don't know much about your area, but why not focus on letting fsbo post a free listing on the site and sell advertising locally to construction companies, agents, home stores etc. Or focus on a particular niche within your community like historic homes and provide a lot of property details with many pictures. You could charge a fee for the service, upload the listings, photos etc as a service to the seller.
