New York City, November 10th, 2009 – PropertyShark.com, the premier real estate data website, announced that it has surpassed 500,000 registered user accounts. Registered users include active real estate professionals, investors and home buyers. In addition, hundreds of thousands of additional anonymous site visitors also use the free and open areas of PropertyShark.com such as the For Sale Listings (http://propertyshark.com/mason/Real-Estate-Listings).
“When I first started PropertyShark.com in 2003, it was just me and a few dozen investors and brokers in Harlem using the site” stated Matthew Haines, the Founder of PropertyShark.com. “To reach half a million registered users is a testament to the paradigm shift in the last five years towards information-based decision-making when it comes to buying and selling real estate. Everyone involved now wants to see the data.”
PropertyShark.com (www.PropertyShark.com) aggregates real estate data and listings from hundreds of public and proprietary sources into an easy-to-use yet comprehensive property research website covering two dozen major markets. Site visitors can view detailed property reports for almost every residential or commercial property, scan recent sales comparables of similar properties to determine market values, browse nearby for sale and foreclosure listings, and much more.
In August, PropertyShark.com was named to the TIME.com “Top 50 Websites of 2009″.
