Monetization strategies for real estate niche

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Wimbledon, Nov 6, 2011.

    I am not certain if this is the best section for this topic -- please let me know if I should post this elsewhere instead.

    Now I am researching to try some micro-geo (in the US) real estate niche sites. I know quite a bit about the industry, but have a few questions when it comes to monetization of online sites in this niche.

    • Are there any free Wordpress plugins or general applets which will display local real estate listings for free without an MLS subscription?
    • What are the paid listing referral programs?
    • Any particularly relevant affiliate networks to check out for real estate?
    • Any links of great examples of monetized real estate websites?
    • Any legal issues I should be wary of?
    • Any other comments, tips, or feedback would be appreciated.

    I am looking for monetization strategies in the real estate niche. Your CMS recommendation does not address any of my queries. I will be building the sites with Wordpress.

    I also doubt you truly are located in Berkeley since you cannot even spell the city correctly.

    For monetization Google adsense is always a best method or network as they got advertisers in almost every niche.

    Dont have enough knowledge on real estate niche so I am unable to reckon any available affiliate program there.

    Yes, adsense is a given but surely there are strategies and programs particular to the real estate niche. Does anyone have any helpful links at least?

    I'm also interested in this.
    Theres many opportunities i feel in real estate, especially with each sale being so large in monetary value.
    however all sales are completed offline, so it can't be a percentage based thing unfortunately.
    Hopefully someone has a good answer here for us.

    Keep in mind that it is illegal in many states to make any percentage off a home sale if you do not hold a real estate license.

    As someone said, Google Adsense is the best option to monetize your site. There are google adsense widget/gadget in almost all blog sites like blogspot.com/wordpress. You may find it quite easily.

    About Real estate, I cannot answer answer since we are in different part of this world :p

    If you are going to post useless info that I have already responded to above, please refrain from posting at all. This site really has too many useless posts.
