		<description>Hello folks. My 1st visit here. Glad I found it. Just yesterday I posted in favor of geos in a discussion of same on the conceptua*ist website. I've been a real estate broker here on Cape Cod for 18+- years, but do most of my business selling real estate online, not as a broker, but through ZIP RE and the like.

I've known since 96 when I started CapeCodRealEstate.com (since sold to a major newpaper) that the internet was made for real estate. And combine the geo factor, forget about it. Real Estate is local how can it NOT be geo?!!

While you can't make a commisson from a broker unless licensed yourself, nothing to say you cannot come up with a lead gen model that does the same thing.. after all, Zip Realty pays $5+ a sign-up for real estate leads, so you can charge per lead. If you get enough leads, you certainly can charge a relative amount for banner space, etc..

I'm looking forward to checking out this entire site further, good stuff. As far as Fractional Domaining (without the benefit of having looked through this site)... Here's a concept that mixex geo, real estate and fractional ownership, except in a different context: Condomains.com - The condo conversion of internet real estate. Hope i'm not out of bounds by naming it? But think about it, treating internet real estate as we do traditional real estate, create and sell "condos" within a website or domain name. It would change the way we view internet property forever. All the good domain properties aren't taken, they've just yet to be condominiumized yet. So goes my thinking. Best to all.

		<description>Or i guess you can take it a step further and get a Brokers license and hire some Real Estate Agents.

***SMO***

In most states you have to be a realestate agent for a min. of 2 years.  So becoming a broker is out of the question and also ties up way too much time that you can be focusing on other revenue streams. Realestate is the gold mine however for Geo domains with the right game plan.</description>

		<description>right you are...I was thinking as just site owners not agents...you also cannot make a deal with a realtor to get a piece of the commission...maybe all city.com owners should get their license asap :)

my wife is considering it already...</description>

		<description>its currently illegal but imagine if a city.com owner could sell realestate directly from the site and keep all or part of the commission!

Tim,

It is not illegal if you are a realestate agent!  I will cover this opportunity in posts to come and there is plenty of incentive to do so. Stay tuned.</description>
