Wikipedia Launches Real Estate Wiki
The real estate industry launched last week it’s version of an online encyclopedia called the Real Estate Wiki. A collection of real estate professionals got together and created the brand new wiki to provide a information on the real estate business in one place.
The new real estate wiki includes real estate definitions, frequently asked questions about home selling, home buying, finance process, home inspections and a whole lot more. The wiki will also provide interesting bio information on leaders in the real estate industry, real estate books, leading real estate brokerage companies, real estate associations, and real estate blogs. They go even further and tell the public about all the designations Realtors earn, courses they take, publications of the industry, our social networks and institutes as well.
With the reputation of the the larger Wikipedia as the world’s largest free encyclopedia on the Internet, this will allow a more targeted drill down to a specific profession like the real estate industry. Since Wikipedia has a reputation for being non-biased and independent the hope is that the consumers will be able to gather tons of useful information at one reliable source.
It’s estimated that at least ten million people work in the industry related to real estate including real estate agents, brokerages, mortgage, financial, construction, and appraisers. With so many consumers now searching the Internet for real estate related information this should be a big plus for buyers, sellers, and renters alike.
This will be very exciting to see how this all evolves and how the public in general takes to the new real estate wiki. This should be a great source for my local Bellingham WA and Whatcom County real estate markets.
