Top 10 Sites, September, 1997

Hot! Atlantic Properties International, Inc.Residential
http://www.atlantic-props.com
Atlantic Properties presents luxury properties in an elegant format which loads quickly with a subtly textured background that is attractive without interfering with your ability to read the text. It's simple to navigate with great content: Resources for seniors, golf courses of south Florida and lots of community information and demography for Miani and Fort Lauderdale.

Hot! Equifax Consumer Center
http://www.equifax.com/
Bold colors invite you to explore this informative look inside one of the big three credit reporting agencies. Order your credit report ($8 in most states) or see clear explanations for items and abbreviations used in your credit profile. The FAQs are especially useful if you want to know what credit reporting agencies do, don't do, and how they affect your buying power.

Hot! ImproveNet
http://www.improvenet.com/
You've found your dream home, survived the purchase and the move, but how are you going to handle the even greater challenges of remodeling? From architects to contractors, designers to electricians, there is probably an expert here with answers to your questions, suggestions, examples, and tips to keep you from making too many major mistakes, and to make life a bit easier.

Hot! Mason, McDuffie, Berkeley, CAResidential
Billed as the "Complete Housing Resource" Mason McDuffie in Berkeley does an outstanding job of providing a substantial basic reference for California home buying/home selling, and much of the information is broad enough to apply outside the state as well. We liked the moving guide, but the guide to Berkeley living for stay-at-homes is equally valuable, and we barely scratched the surface of all that BerkeleyHome has to offer.

Hot! The Oregon Trail
You don't need a covered wagon to explore the Oregon Trail today Tour the covered bridges of Oregon with the click of a mouse. Review current population and economic trends for the state, compare housing prices or browse historic headlines all on this informative and well planned site. This is a wonderful prototype for other states and regions to mimic for a relocation resource.

Hot! Pacific Lumber Company
http://www.palco.com/
Building a deck? Not all redwood is the same, there are different grades and different cuts. Which side is up and where do you put the nails? Pacific Lumber entertains and informs with loads of information about redwood and fir trees, and can answer your questions about using these woods in your home or on an outside deck. Richly informative and useful with great links to other sites related to wood products.

Hot! Southern Winds Realty, Charlotte, NC
http://www.southernwinds.com/
Southern Winds' outstanding newsletter covers inspections, financing, landscaping and more. Local job and industry info, as well as education, sports and general local information raise this site above the ordinary. Best of all you'll find Demographics, Drivers License, Vehicle Registration, Property Taxes, and Voter Registration info among other relocation criteria for those willing to register. Registration is free, but you will be asked to provide information about yourself in a fairly lengthy application.

Hot! Yvette Wampler.Fairfax, VAResidential
http://www.ywampler.com/
How many web sites can you describe as "comfortable"? Yvette's site is sharp, moves quickly, and has good links to great information, each introduced with a descriptive paragraph and a couple of appropriate pictures. Hunting for and buying a home can be very stressful. Working with an agent who makes it comfortable can alleviate stress. We don't know Yvette, but if her web site is representative of her service we'd like to.

Webmaster's BonusHot! Resicom, Residential Analysis
More tools are offered here than many readers knew existed on the net. Most, such as the mortgage reduction analysis, are absolutely free. Professionals might consider a subscription to some of the more sophisticated reports; e.g., $19.95 per month for an unlimited number of Residential Real Estate Reports. Homebuyer Affordability Reports or Commercial Real Estate Reports subscriptions are also available. Most real estate professionals will want to link directly from their real estate web sites.
