I have been very busy since leaving the REA Group (realestate.com.au) a few weeks ago. One of the things that i have been working on is the launch of Property Portal Watch. (www.propertyportalwatch.com)
Property Portal Watch will be the one stop shop for all information on property portals around the word. It is designed to provide news, views, rumours, overviews and general information on property portal sites throughout the world. In addition it will provide tips and techniques for those wanting to advertise online. Its first incarnation is as a blog (while i get the proper site built).
If you have a chance, check it out and please give me your feedback. If you have an article or an idea for an article, please let me know and i will get it posted.
We are also building out the team around Property Portal Watch - there is just too much of the world for one person to cover.

Looks like a good start - I’d like to see location as the top so you can drill down quickly, and perhaps a function to remember from which area I’m from to save time for next time. All sites should aim to have a next time.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you are suggesting. This blog is just a holding position while i am building out a proper site - this is probably a couple of months away.
Thanks for subscribing

Looks like the new blog will have a lot of useful information coming up
I think a central place to have all the news and features will be a really good resource for agents and other real estate professionals!
