December 3rd, 2011

Question by venessa: I want to get free credit report. What website provides the best credit report for free?
I want to find out what my credit report looks like and my credit score. Can someone offer advice to which websites I should go to that provides the best credit report and score for free?

Best answer:

Answer by aka5cents
The best website for FREE credit reports is: www.annualcreditreport.com. This is a site sponsored by the government and you will not have to sign up for any credit services to receive your reports (3 per year). There is no FREE site for credit score without signing up for some monthly service. On the site I recommend you can get you score for less than $ 10 dollars. It is worth it so you don’t get stuck paying for a credit monitoring service you don’t want.

The Open House Meets Cyberspace: New Website Set to Revolutionize the Real Estate World

The Open House Meets Cyberspace: New Website Set to Revolutionize the Real Estate World











Everett, WA (PRWEB) August 25, 2008

Every weekend, real estate agents across America dutifully advertise, set up and host Open Houses for their clients; and every weekend, an average of only 5 to 10 people, few of whom are even interested in buying these homes, show up. It’s an incredibly inefficient process, but no real alternative has existed; until now.

http://www.openhousebroadcast.com is about to dramatically change the way real estate is marketed, by “opening” the Open House to interested buyers across the country, and even around the world.

Created by Washington state-based Naval Officer and Realtor® Dominique Ramirez, http://www.openhousebroadcast.com moves the Open House from the neighborhood into cyberspace, allowing potential buyers anywhere on earth to tour any and every room in a home, ask questions of the agent and see everything as if they were visiting the house in person.    

“According to the NAR® ’2007 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers,’ 48 percent of prospective buyers use Open Houses as a source of information and 57 percent of sellers reported that their Realtor® used an Open House to market their property. However, less than 1 percent of Open Houses actually result in a sale,” explains Ramirez. “By conducting the Open House over the internet, the Realtor® can specifically target interested buyers, substantially increase the ‘virtual foot traffic’ that an Open House creates, and increase the percentage of Open Houses that result in a sale.”

The technology necessary to conduct an Open House Broadcast is amazingly simple. The agent only needs a broadband internet connection, wireless router, laptop, and a webcam. They might have an assistant carry the computer and camera as they walk visitors through the house and describe its features, but this is not necessary.

The process is equally simple for prospective buyers. After logging onto the website and entering search parameters for their ideal home, they will receive a list of Open Houses including the time zone, time, and date. At the appointed time, they log in again and “attend” each Broadcast that interests them from the comfort of their own home or office.    

Of course, Open Houses are about more than selling a specific home – quite often they are about giving exposure to Realtors® and allowing them to network with potential clients. http://www.openhousebroadcast.com serves that need as well, providing real estate professionals with a worldwide showcase for their talents. Would-be sellers anywhere in the world can see them in action and ask them questions, just as they would at a traditional Open House. Would-be buyers can ask to be shown similar properties in the area. Additionally, buyers and sellers can request one on one live video Home Tours of properties they are interested in or even watch previously recorded Open Houses that they missed.

With 84 percent of home buyers using the internet to search for homes, the time is right for the Open House to make the move to cyberspace. http://www.openhousebroadcast.com promises to bring the tired, inefficient “house tour” into the 21st century, revolutionizing the Real Estate industry, and the customer’s house shopping experience.

Selling Homes plus Home Buying Equals One New Innovative Website to Trade Homes, OnlineHouseTrading.com

April 20th, 2011

Selling Homes plus Home Buying Equals One New Innovative Website to Trade Homes, OnlineHouseTrading.com












Lutz, FL (PRWEB) October 2, 2007

OnlineHomeTrading.com promises to revolutionize the processes of both selling homes and home buying by matchmaking two property sellers, where they literally trade homes through one very attractive, easy-to-navigate website.

Daniel Westbrook, co-founder of OnlineHouseTrading.com explains, “We started to look at how people are home buying or selling homes and we realized that people want a full package deal; they need to sell their existing home and buy a new home at the same time. OnlineHouseTrading.com brings these people together to buy each other’s property.”

The site works much the same as the search engines on match making websites. OnlineHouseTrading.com takes a user’s information regarding their house, including location, price and specific information about the property, and matches it with other home buying users, seeking a property with the same or similar criteria.

“If you are familiar with online dating services, you know how sophisticated the matching of people can be,” says Daniel Westbrook. “Everything from personality to physical attributes is taken into consideration when these websites connect two people for a date. This same technology is now being utilized by OnlineHouseTrading.com to help connect home buyers and sellers.”

Further, the search engine will take that same user’s home purchasing information and utilize it to match the home seller with a home buyer who is also selling their home.

This revolutionary site works for both individuals selling their home and for Realtors trying to sell their clients property. The user friendly site allows agents to upload all of their listings that could potentially bring matches from other agents or individuals selling their property on their own. There are thousands of Realtors nationwide with listings they simply can’t find buyers for. With all of these listings, plus individuals selling their homes, the possibilities for matches are endless because the concept works for both. Regardless of whether you are a Real Estate professional or not, we all have the same common goal of reducing the surplus of homes saturating the market. This is another new tool that is becoming very useful to combat lower sales in markets nationwide.

When asked about the growing popularity of the OnlineHouseTrading.com site, Mr. Westbrook said, “What we started realizing is that many people are ‘trading places’ in terms of where they are buying and selling homes. Whether it is within the same neighborhood or across the country, people seem to move to and from the same areas*. Our website helps these people ‘kill two birds with one stone’, with much less stress than conventional means. It’s simple, easy to use, and very cost effective. Anyone can easily use our site.”

OnlineHouseTrading.com investor, Steve Coad, relates a personal experience that won him over to the concept. “My wife and I were recently in the exact situation Daniel is talking about. We were being transferred to a city we had never even been to. Our minds started reeling just at the thought! Stress was building at the prospect of all we had to do, and do quickly. We had just built our home a little over a year before, and to top it off, the real estate market in our area was tough. Plus, we still had to find a new home in a new place, similar in size and quality to the house we were selling.”

“Thankfully, we made it through everything and learned something very interesting afterwards. We had moved two thousand miles to our new city to find out that the people we bought our new house from had bought their new house just a few miles from where we had moved. Same price range, same quality, comparable sizes, the right location for the perfect real estate match. We could have traded houses! When I heard about the OnlineHouseTrading.com concept, having just lived through relocating myself, I knew it was a sound investment.”

OnlineHouseTrading.com charges their members a nominal, one time fee; less than the price of a tank of gas. For $ 19.95 members can advertise the house they have for sale, advertise the criteria for the house they wish to buy, and have access to the website for an unlimited amount of time, providing they update their information every six months. In a housing market that has been cooling for some time, OnlineHouseTrading.com offers home buyers and sellers a red-hot concept to meet all of their real estate needs.

Mr. Westbrook further explains, “Before our site, people were first focusing on selling their house, which is stressful, and then they immediately had to find a house to buy, which is also stressful, often causing them to settle on something less than ideal. Our site significantly reduces the stress associated with relocating and enhances the process for both sellers and buyers by allowing each to solve their housing needs in one simple, easy to use format.”

OnlineHouseTrading.com is offering a winning combination for anyone in the home buying or selling market. For more information on selling homes and home buying made easy, please visit http://www.OnlineHouseTrading.com

Indianapolis Web Design Company Provides Website to Ronald McDonald House












The new Ronald McDonald House website, designed by BoxCrush.


(Vocus/PRWEB) December 21, 2010

BoxCrush, a website development company located in Indianapolis, IN, launched a redesign of the Ronald McDonald House of Indianapolis website (http://www.rmh-indiana.org). BoxCrush donated a portion of the website to the Ronald McDonald House.

The new site is very easy to navigate, for both families and visitors, and its Sitefinity CMS (Content Management System) platform allows the Ronald McDonald House staff to update it quickly.

“We’ve worked with a number of community-focused organizations,” points out Dan Finney, CEO of BoxCrush, “but the Ronald McDonald House holds a special place in our community, and in our family. Our extended family has used the services of the Ronald McDonald House in the past, and my family and I have prepared and served dinners to the people staying at the House. We were thrilled when they sought our help in the website redesign. I wanted to use our status as a Telerik Sitefinity Certified Partner to bring the best technology available to the project.”

Ronald McDonald House Communications and Marketing Manager Kelly Thien states, “The talented team at BoxCrush is great to work with. They created a site that is not only visually stunning, but it’s also much easier for visitors to navigate and find the information they are looking for. In addition, we are deeply grateful to the team for donating a large portion of the website design and development.”

BoxCrush provided training in using the content management system for the staff at Ronald McDonald House. After using Sitefinity’s content management system, Thien was impressed. “Our staff has been pleasantly surprised and pleased at how easy it is to make changes and add pages and copy to the site,” she declared.

BoxCrush develops graphic design solutions, corporate presence, and brand identity for web and print applications. Boxcrush designs catalogs, websites, logos, and printed marketing materials, and has developed a number of search marketing campaigns.

The Ronald McDonald House embraces all families with sick or injured children being treated in Indianapolis-area hospitals without regard to income. No family is ever turned away from the House if they are unable to pay. For more information about this website redesign, contact Dan Finney at BoxCrush, phone 317-816-9353, or on the web at http://www.boxcrush.com.

Size Doesn?t Matter ? Tiny eBank Beats Big Banks in Website Usability

February 7th, 2011

Size Doesn’t Matter – Tiny eBank Beats Big Banks in Website Usability











Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) April 27, 2006

When it comes to online banking, a new study shows that small banks can be every bit as effective as the biggies in attracting new business. eBank, with only $ 145 million in assets scored ahead of 12 other banks ranging in size from Bank of America’s $ 1.38 trillion to $ 3 billion Intrust when users tested the websites for ease of researching and applying for bank accounts online.

“Since eBank relies on the Web it’s not surprising that they’ve put a lot of effort into good usability and design,” says Web Mystery Shoppers International president Tema Frank. “In some ways it is easier for a small bank, since their offerings are more limited than those at huge companies like Bank of America. They don’t have to figure out how to cram in a ton of information. For a big bank, Bank of America does exceptionally well.”

The study found no correlation, positive or negative, between bank size and website effectiveness. “That means even banks with small budgets can compete effectively online if they focus on website usability,” said Ms. Frank.

Other key findings:

1. People use the Internet to decide where to bank. 77% of the testers had previously visited other bank websites, and 68% had previously researched opening an account in the Internet. 51% are willing to open a bank account online. Banks that neglect their online channel will lose business.

2. Great home pages are necessary, but not sufficient, for winning business. While 100% of the testers at Bank of America and Citizen’s Bank said they would continue past the home page if they were looking for a new bank, results at other banks ranged as low as 69%. The top sites may benefit from overall brand familiarity, but the research shows that the initial willingness to continue does not always translate into the top overall satisfaction scores.

3. Don’t get too creative. People expect, for instance, the word “search” beside a search box. Using other words to describe it prevents many users from realizing that there is a search function.

4. Too many errors. The number of people getting errors while they used the sites ranged from 0 to 76%, with an average of 27%. Not surprisingly, sites that did not take online applications typically had fewer errors, but Intrust, which does take online applications, only had 3% reporting errors.

287 Web Mystery Shoppers® residing in the U.S. participated in this study (average of 22/site). They tested the following sites between February 8 – 15, 2006: associatedbank.com, bankofamerica.com, bbandt.com, citizensbank.com, comerica.com, ebank.com, firstcitizens.com, intrustbank.com, key.com, lasallebank.com, peoples.com, suntrust.com and wachovia.com.

The Executive Summary of the report is available free at http://www.webmysteryshoppers.com/pages/040rese.html.

Web Mystery Shoppers International Inc. helps companies Convert Clickers into Customers™. It pays testers who match the client’s target market to test the web site from their own computers, thus providing insight not only about the web site, but about differences in user perception based on variables like computer and browser systems and Internet experience. www.webmysteryshoppers.com
