Over 50,000 web site owners from around the world have made the decision to use IRED to help them promote their real estate related sites. IRED, the International Real Estate Digest, has a place for everyone and, for that reason, has received numerous awards including Forbes "Best of the Web" awards and a nomination for a coveted "Webby" award.
IRED provides the lists, the links, and the ratings and currently does it at nominal cost ($25/year) for most of the web site owners...as well as offers special enhancements and directories for web site owners who want extra attention.
Real estate agents and brokers who want the best bang for the buck can use the "Add A Link" feature to have their site listed in the directories - and rated by one of the many reviewers who evaluate hundreds of web sites each week for IRED.
If you want to get more attention for your web site, consider upgrading to a bold enhancement for $125 for a year to put you at the top of the list and adding a line of text with a marketing pitch ($225 a year) to give readers some additional information about why they should visit your web site.
If you or your company offers home buyers and sellers, alternative brokerage, flat-fee, discount brokerage, a menu of services, or For Sale By Owner assistance, you many want to consider the value of being in the specialized Fee-For-Service directory for $50 a year for a basic link. You can put your name at the top of the list with the same type of bold enhancement as in the U.S. and International Directories by upgrading to a boldfaced link in the Fee-For-Service Directory for $150 per year and an additional line of text for $225/year (per additional line).
IRED keeps traffic coming back with articles, editorials, news, and events, many of which are written by leaders in the real estate industry, as well as trend reporting to help agents keep abreast of the rapidly changing marketplace and serves an easy place to check out their competitors' web sites.
Home buyers and sellers can count on IRED for real estate advice as IRED serves its role of consumer advocate. Researchers can use the vast number of links on the site to delve more deeply into resources that will help them accomplish their objectives.
IRED is a living entity with human reviewers, similar to Yahoo's organizational structure. "Add A Link" submissions are processed in the order they are received and generally take 1 to 2 weeks before being posted on the IRED site. Upgraded link submissions are reviewed immediately, and posted upon completion.
Whether you choose to take advantage of the basic link or want the extra attention of an enhancement, award-winning IRED is "the" place to be seen on the World Wide Web.
