RealEstateABC.com has been around since 1998. The website was created to “candidly†inform buyers and sellers about
the “real world†of real estate. They website indeed has many useful articles and tips on buying and selling homes. There are all sorts of calculators available, some mortgage related information. While some people may find the website useful, many may bypass this kind of website going straight to the websites of Realtors.
Not so long ago, RealEstateABC.com has introduced a page where visitors supposedly can find the value of their homes, maybe trying to put out some competition to Zillow. As with Zillow, RealEstateABC.com offers visitors to find the value of homes, the results come back in a format of a map where subject property is displayed on a Google Map. But either site lucks data to back their findings on homes value. Some properties that we have checked where marked at the price they were sold or bought last time, in some cases 5 years ago; far cry from real value.
If RealEstateABC.com and other similar sites would reach out to real estate companies, they can create great source of information available to sellers and buyers. This kind of partnership can benefit everyone around. The web masters of these website would have “real†data, Realtors can learn from web masters what Internet users are looking for, and all off us can use some good information that turly would be without “puff, hype or sensationalismâ€.
realestateabc – changed ownership a number of years ago, when it was probably one of the more prominent general real estate information sites on the net. I have not been back to the site recently, so my thoughts about about how good it is today would not be valid.
