by Sheau-Yu J. Chao

Overview

You're investing in real estate, relocating to a new state, or maybe moving to a new country. You go to the Internet, an endless source of information. But is it current? Is it accurate? Can you even find what you need? Here is an analytic guide to nearly 2000 real estate Web sites. Data for more than 220 regions, states, and countries are divided into six sections representing the major continents.

The book runs the gamut with data resources for broad geographical regions right down to individual localities (including U.S. states). Indexes to Web site titles, key content, sponsors, and country of origin make this guide essential to everyone from real estate practitioners (developers, bankers, and investors, etc.) to students and researchers in the field.

Editorial Reviews

The need for substantial information on the real estate industry has grown exponentially as big business and financial institutions have become major players, tax regulations have become more complex, and the Internet has provided global access to the market. This guide points to sources for such information for real estate brokers, developers, appraisers, bankers, property managers, property owners, and investors as well as librarians and researchers. It includes about 2,000 sites covering about 220 regions, countries, and states. Giving preference to academic over corporate resources, the editors (a librarian and an experienced researcher) included all kinds of Net resources: gateway systems, meta-indexes, electronic books, online encyclopedias and directories, journals, newsletters, conferences, and government publications.
