Boston Apartments: Rental and Sales Magazine -
| Tour Boston; find a roommate; Cleaning tips (Worcestershire sauce for cleaning pots?); How to pack; or how to decorate on the cheap. | Tips apply to most real estate renters and buyers; e.g., "When looking for a handicapped accessible apartment. State your need clearly!" | What to look for in security measures. Legal rights and obligations of tenants in Mass. Oh, yes, you can find apartments and classifieds here as well. |
| Charissa Pemper, CENTURY 21 Portman Properties, is an agent who knows where the Internet is | taking the real estate industry, and we have no doubt she will be there for the entire ride. | Enough great info about Eastern MA to let us to overlook the bland design. |
| Inman is must reading for anyone in the real estate business, as well as | consumers who want to keep up to date about what is happening in US real | estate trends. Miss a day? No problem, articles are archived for a couple of weeks. |
| Kathy offers everything you might need to know about moving to and living | in the Northern Virginia Area. This is exactly the kind of information we | want to see on a Realtor's® web page. A great resource for buyers. |
| The real value in Real Net is the listings. Organized by type and | area, the hierarchcal list provides the info you need | without subjecting you to the frustrating "0 properties found." |
| It isn't very pretty on the surface, but if you are up to using TelNet and doing a bit of digging, there is an incredible goldmine | of data for consumers hidden at the Right to KnowNet! We almost missed this unassuming little gem ourselves. | Access to environmental, housing, and campaign finance databases is provided by the non-profit Unison Group. |
| Texans love to brag, and here is a good reason! But, its not just for Texans anymore. The Real Estate Center offers more | information in one place than any entity we have seen. Now they have even added building permit information for 50 states. | If they ever add the beautiful Tierra Grande print publication online this site will rock the real estate industry. |
| People helpong people! Once in a while we see a new use for the Internet that makes us appreciate the medium anew. | Here is just such a use: renters in Silicon Valley providing first hand reviews of apartments. Anyone can play, anonymously | which is both the advantage and the danger of such a venture, but the form offers both objective and subjective criteria. |
| Order a package pickup, calculate the cost, | track your shipment without leaving your desk. | A free software download is required. |
| You're under arrest for distribution of illegal code! Okay, it's not that bad, except when it causes my browser to crash, or your pages to disappear. Often, it simply means that your format does not appear quite as you intended As the name | implies, WebLint (there are several versions available, we prefer this one) picks the lint (left over scraps of code, misplaced or incomplete tags, etc) off the shoulders of your web site. Even the best coders need such a tool, and amateurs who | use it will look like professionals. If you don't write code, but pay someone to do it for you, this is still your best friend. Objectively evaluate your web developer by verifying his code. All you need to do is enter the URL of your page. WebLint will do the rest. |
