Ubertor Real Estate Blog

Mike Lefebvre starts his latest video Ian Watt style but takes it for a twist and ends up shooting the video while getting a hair cut. Nice.

It is with great honor that I announce that Ubertor has become local in Whistler, BC and as a result will now offer service from Squamish to Pemberton. With this announcement comes a special Ubertor addition made just for Realtor’s working within these areas. We have added a complimentary Introduction Video to our Premium and Plus plans until the end of October.

In addition, we have also formed a new chapter of the “Real Estate Technology Meetup” for Whistler with our first meetup occurring on October 8th, 2008 at Citta’ Bistro. Citta’s is in the heart of the Whistler Village, located at 4271 Village Stroll or at cittabistro.com Be sure to keep an eye on the Meetup site and let us know you will be coming, and to find out the itinerary for Whistler’s first Real Estate Tech meetup.

SOW - Shaunkimmins.com from Cristian Marine on Vimeo.

Hey everyone! Don’t think we forgot about this week’s Site of the Week (SOW). Kudos to Shaun Kimmins for being this week’s Ubertor SOW.

Shaun Kimmins is a Realtor that specializes in selling Condos in the Vancouver, British Columbia area. Shaun provides great information on the downtown vancouver area. This is his main site, which he also links to his niche market sites.

He has designed the website professionally, adding his Condo TV show to it, taking advantage of Ubertor’s video capability allowing more interactivity between him and his team and the visitors.

One nice option is feeding his blog posts through Feedburner’s free Email Subscription Service. Other Sites of the Week, such as ThinkTom.com have also joined the group of Ubertor sites taking advantage of this free service.

Great looks, good content and practical functionality describes Shaunkimmins.com.

Keep up the good work Shaun!

*Drum Roll*…

Ubertor’s Site of the Week is BrendaRussell.ca The website has a Google Rank of 2/10 and an Alexa Rank of 5,059,491 (What is an Alexa Rank?).

Brenda Russell is a Realtor that specializes in the Oak Bay, British Columbia area. Brenda provides great information on the Oak Bay and Fairfield area and an updated page dedicated to Oak Bay properties.

She has designed the website professionally, adding her Real Estate Channel video on her home page for her visitors and clients to see. Her addition of videos, and podcasts compliment the site very nicely allowing for more interactivity between her and the visitor.

Keep up the great work Brenda!

This weeks Ubertor site of the week is Tokase.com. Stephen Berman is a realtor based in the Los Cabos, Baja California Area.

Tokase.com has a Google Page Rank of 0 (What is Google Page Rank?) and an Alexa Rank of 5,415,030 (What is an Alexa Rank?).

The first thing you notice when you type the in their domain is the attractive Flash splash screen they use as an intro. Splash Pages are great for offline driven sites, meaning their ads and target for driving traffic to the site will be made offline.

Attractive flash banners and a very organized flash menu adds interactivity and personality to the site. Their copywrite is very good and the pages are displayed nicely. Carefully adding flash banners matching their criteria, Tokase is a nice site to visit to look for properties and to learn about Los Cabos.

There is plenty of information covering investing in the niche market area, finance and mortgage.

Lastly, you can find out personal info about Stephen and his team under his Team Tokase page.

Thank you for watching.
