After only one year Real Estate Wiki, the largest encyclopedia, dictionary and glossary for the real estate industry, has served over 70,000 unique customers and provide answers and information to over 125,000 questions.
According to a spokesperson for Real Estate Wiki, the huge amount of contributions (over 23,000 new entries since its launch) has required the adding of numerous new categories in order to better index the information. Due to the mortgage and banking collapse as well as the declining housing market an increasing number of consumers are now also using Real Estate Wiki to gain a better understanding of the various terminology used in the financial and foreclosure world.
The 30,000 entries on Real Estate Wiki have been filed very ingeniously into 18 Master Categories and 100 Subcategories, making drilling down to the appropriate information easy and very fast. The wiki does of course have the traditional Search Bar for direct and/or broad topic searches.
Similar to Wikipedia, the world’s biggest multilingual free-content encyclopedia, Real Estate Wiki, does not accept any advertising and the site is therefore free of pop ups, banner ads and even Google Ads words. This is a most pleasant change form so many other sites that continually try to sell visitors something.
With some 115 million home owners and an estimated 10 million people working in the real estate industry in activities such as construction, brokerage, financial, insurance, appraisal, etc., real estate is often cited as one of the largest industries in the U.S. Furthermore, real estate has always grabbed the imagination of the consumer and with over 30 million consumers searching for homes to buy or places to rent every year it is the #1 search topic according to Google.
RealEstateWiki.com is a privately funded, non-profit, non-bias venture but is Real Estate Wiki is not affiliated with the Wikipedia Foundation. Similar to Wikipedia, Real Estate Wiki (www.RealEstateWiki.com) is also looking for more volunteers from the real estate industry that believe strongly that in working together the industry can create a better quality, free real estate encyclopedia for everyone to use.
