International Real Estate Digest

Best of 1997

In December we revisited past Top Ten sites to pick our favorites for 1997. It was so difficult to narrow our picks down to 10 that we selected 11 sites which we urge you to bookmark and to consider as models when you are planning your own site. As with anything else, no website is quite perfect, but these 11 stars shine brightly in the real estate heavens. These are the Best of the Best for 1997. May 1998 be even better.
