Here's what's been going on at Philadelphia's Real Estate Hub over the past few weeks.
We recently introduced Phroperty.Com, a discussion forum extension of the Hub that we're hoping will proved to be a resource to Philadelphians who want a Realtor's knowledge, but don't necessarily want to interact in person or over the phone with a salesperson. Phroperty allows would be buyers and sellers to ask quesions like:
- How much did that house down the street sell for>
- Are their any first time home buyer grants in my neighborhood?
- Anyone know of a good electrician to do some work at my Philly investment property?
If you have a minute to check out Phroperty, take a second to register for a username and start asking away!
Also, we've discovered Engenu! Engenu is the awesome quick and easy web-page builder created by the guys at Bloodhound Blog.
Some example engenu sites that we've created at the Hub.
- LeedPhilly.Com
- Thin Flats Project Page
- Berks Hewson Project Page
- Philadelphia Neighborhood Map Page
- Northern Liberties Neighborhood Page
- 101 Walnut, Single Property Page
The best thing that we like about engenu so far is that it gives us more control over our single property pages -- having them on our own domain and being able to quickly load them up with pictures and alt descriptions is an exciting alternative from an seo perspective to using single property site vendors.
The only dilemma we're facing is how to get the same syndication that a Realbird or Postlets page offers. We think the extra time spent manually syndicating to craigslist will likely prove worth while...
