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.
