    My real estate website is growing fast and we are about to start our New York section after our LA section is growing at a rapid pace due to our craigslist marketing and we are working on our serps now.

    http://www.thehomedirectory.net is the website and we had some additions we were wanting to put on and wanted the advice on if you think it is a good idea and what the best way to go about this is.

    1. Google map integrated on front page showing all listings.

    2. Advanced search button on front page

    Looking for more suggestions even as far as monetizing.

    I think putting snapshots of google map at homepage is better than google maps itself.

    Primeelite,

    these links won't be live yet, just joined today. I have been a professional real estate investor for the past 8 years in the Tampa Bay Area.

    Here are some sites you might find helpful

    www.reia.com
    www.creonline.com
    www.rehablist.com

    Also, other suggestions for your site,

    An auctions category (free or charge FSBO's and/or realtors to post)
    FSBO's
    Realtors
    Investors

    etc.

    Good luck.


    Vanessa

    Yeah I agree I think I may be adding a section such as a realtors directory so they can list themselves with a photo, contact info, and link to their website then have one on top of that page as featured realtor monthly. I need some more suggestions to because we are about to expand to another city to make it not just LA but to NYC also so looking for any ways to expand and grow
