RISMEDIA, Jan. 16, 2007-In 1997, the Lakehouse.com team decided that they would create a better way for one to search for and find their dream lake property. Over the last 10 years they have built a Web site that aims to make it easier. A buyer can go to its Web site and view over 8,000 lakefront properties located in all 50 states. They have lake homes, lake cabins, cottages, lake lots, lake access, lake view properties, timeshares, condos, and town homes on over 3,000 lakes.

When a visitor comes to the site, they can search these properties in a number of ways. They can search by state, lake name, zip code, radius and price range to name a few. A buyer can even sign up for an Auto Notify feature that sends an e-mail when lake properties are added to the site that matches their search criteria. Individuals that are looking to sell their lake property can choose one of the Realtors that advertise on Lakehouse.com to help them.

Lakehouse.com is projecting over seven million visits by the end of 2007. Their traffic comes from having excellent ranking with the major search engines, including top ranking for thousands of key words and phrases used in the lake property search process. On Google.com, lake property is number one out of over 20,000,000 Web pages.

The tremendous amount of buyer Web traffic that Lakehouse.com gets is benefiting over 2,000 Realtors that they are doing business with.
