About 2 years ago I became an E-Pro. I think it was one of the most valuable training classes I've taken in my 23 years of being in real estate. One of the things they talked about was selecting a correct domain URL. Ideally, you want something in the .com extension because it has the greatest familiarity with the consumer. That being said, there are some unique opportunities for individuals living in certain states.
What I'm referring to are specific country TLD (top level domains) that correspond to various state abbreviations. For example, the following state abbreviations correspond to various countries-MN, MS, LA, MD, and SC. There is also CA, but that has some restrictions. Various country TLD's may carry restrictions on the use of their TLD. MN does not have any special restrictions. If you are a Realtor in one of the other states I've listed, consider grabbing some great real estate based URL's and either use them to do PPC, Mini site development or simply brand as your main site. You can find many different country TLD's at http://www.MNdomainNames.com - not just MN domains. All the country TLD's I just mentioned can be bought there.
Since I live and work in Minnesota, I obviously prefer the .MN In fact I not only use a number of them, I also have speculated in a number of names in other industries. I created a website to re-sell some of my .mn domains at http://www.BuyMNdomains.com Because very few people know about this or where they can be purchased inexpensively, there are a lot of great domains available that would cost millions if they were in a .com. My main RE/MAX website can be found at http://www.Selling.mn
Here is the press release announcing my site.http://www.prleap.com/pr/127691/ For the record, .MN is the extension assigned to Mongolia-NOT MInnesota Please read the press release for the full story.

Minnesota mortgage broker-Venture Development- releases Web 2.0 widget calculator tool for calculating mortgage payments and amortization schedules
(PRLEAP.COM) Twin Cities, Minnesota-Venture Development-Minnesota mortgage broker-has just launched a consumer friendly website offering visitors the chance to embed a fun and useful tool into their website or blog. This tool was developed in response to the common mortgage question "What is my mortgage payment?" Using this mortgage payment calculator, you can now find out. The site URL is http://www.MortgageWidgets.org. This little tool is called a "widget". The term "Widget" is defined by Wikepedia as "A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, i.e. a web page. A widget adds some content to that web page that is not static." Our definition is a little simpler as we define widgets as "just plain fun." If you want to liven up a static webpage, consider adding a website widget. The best part about these calculators is that they are free! Simply copy the code and paste into your html editor. The script will take over and in seconds you will have your mortgage calculator on your webpage.
Venture Development, Minnesota mortgage broker, has created versions of a calculator widget which can be found at http://www.MortgageWidgets.org. What make their widget unique in the marketplace is that these widgets not only calculate a payment and amortization schedule, they also provide a news feed reader with real time mortgage or real estate news. This means the widgets are always adding value to the web user as they view a web page, even if they are not being used for a loan payment calculation.
There is yet another special feature. If a calculator user would like to learn more about various mortgage programs, begin an online loan application or get an interest rate quote for their home loan, they only need to click on the link embedded in the widget. The embedded link will redirect them back to the Minnesota mortgage company’s main website. If a webmaster or publisher prefers a website widget with breaking real estate news, they can select that specific script code for our real estate widget. The real estate web widget has a redirect link where widget users looking for information about Minnesota real estate can go to begin their online home search and learn more about homes in the Twin Cities real estate marketplace.
As a webmaster or publisher you have three choices on what you’d like to display. There is a mortgage payment calculator with a real estate news feed, a mortgage payment calculator with a mortgage news feed, or a series of different size banners offering the calculator that redirect back to the main widget site. The banners will
take up less space and redirect back to the main widget site where someone can then calculate a home loan payment. The banners are fun to view in and of themselves. Use a banner if you want to save space on your website or blog and still want to offer your visitors the chance to find out what a loan payment would be. Visit http://www.MortgageWidgets.org and get started today!
