Miami, Fla. – US Condo Exchange, LLC, the first global advertising portal and listing service for condos, announced today the launch of free user blogs and property commenting on their website www.uscondex.com. With the integration of these additional communication tools, the website continues to lead Web 2.0 functionality for real estate portals.
Using proprietary technology, US Condo Exchange has developed a blogosphere for the condo niche of the real estate industry. Brokers, agents, developers and all other users are provided a free blog on their personal page where they can discuss recent sales, market conditions, new unit listings and other real estate topics. The personal blogs are featured on the main US Condo Exchange blog page, www.uscondex.com/blogs where users can visit the top ten most popular blogs and communicate with the blogger by leaving comments on individual posts.

Users searching condos on www.uscondex.com can also leave comments on listings or start a blog about condo topics in addition to sending email messages within the site to display interest or comment on a particular unit, building or agent. “The commenting functionality gives depth to the unit listings and allows for a more interactive experience for our userbase” says US Condo Exchange CEO Richard Swerdlow. Users are also given a free account on the website where they can log in to view their messages, sign up to receive e-newsletters, pre-qualify for mortgages and more.

“Adding the ability for users to comment on our growing database of over 200,000 listings and post blogs about listings, buildings, brokers and other real estate topics is a defining moment for the online condominium marketplace” says Mr. Swerdlow. “We are creating a community devoted exclusively to connecting condo buyers and sellers…by adding this functionality we are continuing to make information transparent and provide resources that enable people to make informed decisions on buying and selling.”

US Condo Exchange, www.uscondex.com, is the first and fastest growing global advertising portal and listing service for condominiums.
