“This milestone is great, but we have bigger things in mind as we move forward in 2010," said John Reilly, CEO/Publisher of RealTown. "We’ve been working hard on a few large projects which we will be rolling out in the next few months.

 

“After building the agent infrastructure, we are shifting our programming efforts on bringing in consumers. We’ll help out the consumer by giving them free, localized information and advice. This means more interaction between the agent and the consumer. This should help real estate professionals build social capital. And, as a result, they will be more likely to get leads and referrals through their membership at RealTown.com.”

 

RealTown is one of the oldest and most respected communities in the real estate industry, with its development dating back to 1995. See The RealTown Story. Over the years, real estate professionals have contributed nearly 1 million posts to the RealTalk Listserv and other associated listservs hosted by InternetCrusade.

RealTown is part of InternetCrusade, the company that created and has delivered the e-PRO Certification Course on behalf of the National Association of REALTORS. The e-PRO certification course was recently totally updated with a Web 2.0 platform and a new course on Web 2.0 and Social Media.
