The best way to meet other real estate and building professionals online is the tag line for Upworld.

UPworld is an online professional network for real estate developers, urban planners, architects,
engineers, real estate lawyers, contractors, fabricators, financiers, and other building professionals.


Use UPworld to create an online profile & portfolio, find jobs, access resources,
start online projects, build professional networks, and much more!

Upworld.com bridges across 8 major industries: real estate, planning, finance, development, design, construction, fabrication, and products. Plenty of professional organizations exist that allow architects to network with other architects or developers to network with other developers or Realtors to network with other Realtors. Upworld helps professionals make connections across industries - and in a global market.

 Members of the site develop business relationships, share leads, exchange knowledge, and contact each other about business and technical issues ranging from real estate financing to structural design to environmentally friendly lighting fixtures.

I created a profile on the site and added my Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate website. You can see my Upworld profile here.

Will it bring me additional business...probably not. Will it give me another inbound link associated with Real Estate...You bet it will.

Bill - thanks for the heads up.  I will take a look at this site in more detail when things quiet down a bit.  Your profile is great!  Have a safe memorial day weekend.

Hi Joan - Thanks. Who knows if the site will be worthwhile or not as far as creating business but it will help with search engine exposure. Hope you have a great weekend as well.

Bill, I HAVE to ask.....do you really sell real estate or do you just post your profile 24/7????  I have never met someone who is so connected!!!!  I want a blog post of all of the sites you are on!

BILL - This looks very interesting, especially since I've started doing a weekly post about new construction.  Thanks for the tip.

05/23/2008 02:05 PM by Adam Waldman - Long Island REALTOR® (RE/MAX Best)


Bill, Ok, I am losing track.  How about a post with all of them listed to bookmark. 

05/23/2008 11:18 PM by Steve Scheer - Denver Real Estate - Highlands Ranch Real Estate (RE/MAX Masters, Inc.)


Tina & Steve - I sell a few homes here and there - LOL I will make a post at some point summarizing the sites.

Adam - I added my profile a few days ago. Have not made contact with anyone as of yet.

Will it bring me additional business...probably not. Will it give me another inbound link associated with Real Estate...You bet it will.

Thanks Bill, I have learned so much from you and you are responsible for so many social networks sites I am on.

Bill, you certainly do get around! My, my, my yet another place to go...thanks for the heads-up

05/25/2008 02:12 PM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Gena@GenaSells.com)


Tina & Brian - Your welcome. Never a bad thing to increase your web presence :)

Missy - Thanks. I have found a few through you as well!

Gena & Tom - It does make a difference with SEO. After adding these profile my website has moved inot the 1st page of Google on almost all my search terms.

05/26/2008 06:22 AM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


Bill, the site does look great!  But, I wonder whether we need another social networking site??  I cannot keep up with all of them that are out there.  I congratulate you for being so connected, I would still love to hire you and Justin Williams to come out to the Cape and be my computer/internet gurus!

Since there are so many social networking sites, I would you consider creating a post of which social networking sites (top 3 or 4) for real estate Agents/Brokers do you think would provide maximum exposure and to possible bring in referrals.

05/26/2008 07:09 AM by Rick Tourgee - Provincetown and Cape Cod (Century 21 Shoreland)


Hi Bill - another great SEO tip.  I'm done most of the social network sites you've mentioned, and really need to get back to them to beef up my profiles there to make better use of them.  I like the links you provide us, and backlinks is one of the things these sites are all aboutl  Took me awhile to get that part - but got it now for sure!

Rick - Don't think of it as a place you need to hang out and participate in. Use it as a tool to get a backlink. Set up a profile with it pointing to to your website or blog. This is a good SEO practice. If it turns into something more than that great, if not you have a backlink on a Real Estate networking site that took all of ten minutes to create. As far as creating a post I have made far too many on the subject already!

Ann - I am glad you have caught on :) It is important and works for SEO purposes.

05/26/2008 06:11 PM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


We can always use another link! Thanks for posting this for us.

Your friend in Charlottesville!

Hi Bill...Thanks for the Tip, looks like a great site to be on, your profile looks Great.

Cheers, have a great day!

05/29/2008 10:53 PM by Fred Carver Victoria BC Realtor Find Quality Victoria Homes For Sale (Re/Max Camosun Victoria Real Estate)


Charles your welcome my friend. I hope you get something out of Upworld.

Fred - Thanks. Good luck creating your Upworld profile.

05/30/2008 07:05 AM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


Hi, Bill. I just joined through your profile. Looks like a slightly different mix of professionals - and those targeted professional sites are perhaps more valuable than the totally social sites. But in any case, it didn't take long to post a profile.

05/31/2008 04:01 PM by Sharon Simms St Pete Florida CRS CIPS CLHMS (RE/MAX Metro)


Thanks Bill great tip!  We have not seen this site yet so just checked it out and saw that you were featured..congrats! We will be signing up. Thanks!
