Provide more people with foreclosure listings, then be able to work with communities to promote "green projects", such as plant trees and clean up the environment.

The more time and money put into this the greater the outcome.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?

The website re-design.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?

How has running your website differed from your expectations?
