2media Launches Localized Real Estate Search Engine – 2newportbeach.com

2media announced the launch of 2Newportbeach.com, a new real estate search engine devoted to the Newport Beach residential real estate market. This unique website will enable home-buyers to research the market with up-to-the-minute information on available listings, recent sales activity, and relevant community information. Homes are organized geographically, even down to the district level, adding unparalleled power to their search.

The Internet has changed the way business is conducted and the real estate industry is no exception as between 80% and 90% of homebuyers search for homes online according to the National Association of Realtors. Yet the majority of search engines or websites are either national in scope or specific to real estate agents or agencies, thus they are not very helpful for savvy buyers who conduct research in a specific market. 2media offers a comprehensive, relevant search platform in specific locations such as Newport Beach. With a focus on the buyer the search is free of charge and does not require any personal information from its guests. This is a one-stop shop for home seekers where every MLS listing is organized geographically and visitors can compare recent sales in each neighborhood.

Newport Beach is a unique real estate market because it has many different districts within the city. A buyer may be looking for a family home in Newport Coast or a hillside estate in Crystal Cove. Although these neighborhoods have the same zip code, they are separate districts on 2newportbeach.com

“The national search engine websites lump all of Newport Beach listings together making it difficult to conduct market research that a buyer, particularly one for Newport Beach, demands. With more than 850 listings at any one time, I knew there had to be a better way to find a home in Newport Beach,” said Rich La Porte, 2media co-founder. Organizing the site by interactive map, allows visitors to visually see the distinctive districts. They have the option of keeping the search specific or doing a more general search of the whole city. The visual of a map is especially important to buyers who are unfamiliar with Newport Beach.

In addition to offering information to the public at no fee, the search engine site gives real estate agents the opportunity to showcase themselves and their listings in an online luxury real estate magazine format. 2newportbeach.com saw a need for agents to market at the local level. “We wanted to give the agents in Newport Beach another avenue to present themselves and their homes by getting in front of a very specific, targeted audience,” said Paul Jurevich, 2media co-founder.

"Multimedia helps clients to virtually walk through pre-construction developments, and gain a better understanding of how the project will look when it is actually built," says Mr Lawrence.

"We want to make sure people can see first-hand what is happening here, and the incredible rate of change."

The new site also features a full, English-language Latin American news porta (www.panamareals.com/news/)l, with the latest breaking news stories from Mexico to Argentina from the world's top news agencies, including the Associated Press, the Washington Post and more.

Investors Find Valuable Online Real Estate In Tough Nationwide Market

USA. (SANEPR.com) July 21, 2007 -- RealEstateInvestor.com is a free, interactive, online community built for investors and real estate professionals all across the nation and offers new tools to help them make smart investing decisions and communicate with other investors in a way that technology did not allow beforehand. RealEstateInvestor.com has loaded their site with the most cutting edge technology, ranging from educational videos, blogs, photos, interactive forums, and live web casts. All is intended to educate its members, foster interactions, and share information first hand from the people out in the field who know the markets the best. Members of the site can market and promote their products and services for free just by signing up and are then instantly placed where people in their area can find and contact them.

With all of the success of YouTube.com (allowing users to share videos), as well as social networking sites such as myspace, it is a no brainer to build upon their success. Are social networks just for kids or for people who want to get dates? “Absolutely not,” says CEO, Colin Andrews. “RealEstateInvestor.com takes the most powerful online features available today and uses them to allow investors to be more successful.”

He continues, “Let’s face it, the real estate market is changing and in many areas, it’s not pretty. Three years ago anybody could make money in the market, just buy and wait for it to appreciate 20%” “Now it’s different, you need to be on top of your game, you do that by being educated on the best investing strategies and by networking with others.”

Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Matthew Leitz on the website, “It is clear that online networking is enjoyed by people of all ages. What sets RealEstateInvestor.com apart is that networking within the community has real value because it helps connect individual investors with the business contacts they need to do more deals.” Leitz goes on to explain, “We focused on making the site easy to use and we have been blown away by the fact that so many of our members are on the site every single day. Investors are excited about sharing experiences and working together and we believe that an online community is the best way possible to allow investors to do so on a national level.” Matthew and Colin remain very involved in not just creating but interacting with their members, always looking to better improve the site and help investors get more value from the community. Colin shares about a recent testimonial from REI member, Sean Malarky, “I just got a message from a fellow Columbus investor who said he picked up a great deal from another member on the site and is going to profit over 20k from it. These stories make me smile.” “Networking and blogging are important, but when I hear about profitable deals happening because of our site, that’s huge! Who says you can't make money in real estate in these times, it's simply not true.”

Launching earlier this year, Realestateinvestor.com with a membership of over 2,575, is just getting started. Matthew states, “We really haven’t done any marketing, our goal was first to have a fully functioning website that people could enjoy before marketing it to the world” The website is now at the point where we can share with a much broader audience. “Our members are spending an average time of just under 9 minutes on our site per visit which is very high in comparison to other sites which average less than a minute.” Matthew shares.

Colin spent 3 years as a full time investor in Columbus, Ohio before linking up with best friend, Matthew Leitz. Colin shares “I loved real estate investing but didn’t like the fact that it was very much a “lone wolf” business with investors keeping to themselves and not as open to collaborate as other industries.” While Colin was doing real estate deals, Matthew was immersing himself in online communities and internet business. “It was late one night and we were taking and it just came to us, ‘let’s take both of what we’re doing and put it together.” “I cranked out the 32 page business plan in 2 days with coffee in one hand and an energy drink in the other,” Colin jokes. They first met while studying in Cuernavaca, Mexico through a program at The Ohio State University. The two share a passion for having fun and bringing people together whether it is starting an Ultimate Frisbee Organization (UFO) during college or throwing a Fine Art, Cheap Wine party to raise money for charity, and they are now doing so online with the goal to be ‘the unquestionable online authority for real estate investors’. They are both 28 years old and live in Columbus, Ohio.

RealEstateInvestor.com is an online community for real estate investors and professionals across the country. It’s goal is to offer its members the best quality education, create vital networking opportunities, and provide tools to empower members to prosper in real estate.

Real Estate Investments

Real estate investments come through a variety of different options. However, whether it is a vacation property, a first home, an early retirement house, or a rental property that you find appealing, real estate investments are all the rage, and are quickly becoming one of the safest investments available, especially in our less-than-perfect economy.

One of the most accessible investments for the average American is more common than most residents realize. A first home offers a lot of advantages over renting. Building up home equity, utilizing tax advantages, and appreciation in home value are only some of the things that make common homes into great investment opportunities. The best market to look for when buying a home is a stable one, with average rates of appreciation. A stable market will provide a safe investment a few years down the line.

Vacation properties or second homes provide an excellent investment opportunity for individuals with the extra income to spend on another property. However, vacation home buying is often fraught with mistakes when it comes to the investment value:

? It is a common error to believe that locations with extreme demand and skyrocketing rates of appreciation are the best for investment. Don't allow yourself to be fooled. Markets with unreasonable demand and unaffordable home prices like these will be unable to sustain this type of growth. Unstable markets run the risk of leveling out, or worse yet, crashing. Your best option is a stable market with average rates of appreciation, roughly around 5%.

? Buyers of vacation homes often pay above market value for the property. While this relates directly to the markets where vacation homes are most popular where the competition drives prices far above listing price, it is still something within the hands of the buyer. Choose an area with less of a seller's market, and never pay above market value if you hope to make an investment out of your property.

Buying a rental property is often a real estate investment for an entirely different reason. While most properties become an investment through the resale value, rental properties generate income for the owner during the period of ownership. The same guidelines apply as with buying other realty properties, but also remember that the best rental property owner is one with the time to invest. Experts warn that you should only buy a property when you are willing to put years into your new rental property. It is also important that you have extra funding when going into the deal. You will probably need to make renovations, updates, and repairs as time goes on.

Regardless of your reasons for deciding to purchase an investment property, the options are numerous, and opportunities are growing with time. Of course, it is important that any prospective buyer consult with a real estate professional, finding a qualified buyers agent can save an individual from making the costly errors often forgotten when purchasing a real estate investment property. Of course, the best reason to buy such a property is because you have the time and desire to enjoy, and the desire to make an average house into a great home.
