National Web Site for Affordable Properties Debuts with 4,100 Active Listings

RISMEDIA, Sept. 13, 2007-Created by a nationally recognized real estate broker, www.AffordableProperties.com is differentiating itself among a myriad of real estate Web sites in today’s Internet by accepting only residential listings priced below $500,000.

With thousands of active listings, the site is designed as a marketplace where buyers, investors, real estate professionals and property owners throughout the U.S. interact with each other directly in the sale and purchase of affordable properties.

The site attracts a large number of buyers and investors who generally find it hard to locate affordable properties in their own market. It then brings them together with an inventory which historically has lacked visibility due to high marketing costs. Once the connection is made, all inquiries are instantly delivered only to the agent or owner listed on the site.

Unlimited listings, descriptions and photos for every user, instant notifications to local buyers and investors and a fast and simple search engine are just some of the many features members are using to showcase their properties. The service is offered at just under $20 a month.

According to the company, AffordableProperties.com does not collect referral fees for transactions or sell the information of its users as leads. Moreover, it is not cluttered with ads or banners and all buyer and renter services are completely free of charge.

“Realtors who work primarily with affordable properties and owners of such real estate are in dire need of an effective and affordable marketing solution. Not every individual representing or selling these types of properties can spend $500 – $2,500 dollars every month to promote a single listing on a local scale, let alone a national platform. That’s why we aim to be worth every penny of our service!” explains the company’s CEO and Founder, Hemley Gonzalez.

Having successfully sold several hundred affordable properties himself over the last 13 years (and having operated his own real estate agency for the past four), Gonzalez knows first hand the challenges of selling and marketing affordable properties and believes that the site will help owners and real estate professionals to work closely together.

“It is time for a $175,000 single family home in Texas, a $57,000 condo in Dayton Ohio and a $287,000 townhouse in Oregon to receive the same attention as a $7 million waterfront estate in Florida” adds Gonzalez.For more information, visit www.AffordableProperties.com.
