Foreclosure.com today rolled out a groundbreaking WordPress-compatible plugin that allows bloggers, real estate agents and others to instantly add more than 1.2 million listings to their Web sites with just a few mouse clicks.

The new WordPress Foreclosure Listings Plugin delivers a powerful real estate search capability, complete with property thumbnails and aerial photos.

In addition, Realtors® and others in the real estate business who download the plugin will be able to access and view their roster of clients for future contact, creating a list of qualified leads that can be used for other outreach purposes.

Perhaps more exciting, according to Foreclosure.com Director of Partner Relations, Zack Preble, is that those who download the plugin and feature it on their blogs will also share in any revenue that their Web sites generate.

Here’s a snip from Zack:

“Our plugin partners have the ability to literally enhance the content on their sites exponentially in a matter of seconds and then profit from it continually without lifting a finger. It’s leading-edge technology that is easy to use and install — anyone can do it…. Content, money and leads … and it takes seconds to set up and there is no maintenance. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

The WordPress Foreclosure Listings Plugin delivers a complete real estate search and navigation environment quickly and easily by querying the Foreclosure.com database in real-time. Once a partner activates the program, the plugin will automatically create a WordPress page and a search widget.

It’s that simple.

Partnerships like this are what separates Foreclosure.com from other data providers — we get our listings from the very best sources … directly. It’s one of many reasons our listing information is accurate and the most reliable in the industry.

On the other hand, working with major lenders helps them market and sell their REO properties faster because of our massive audience. Each month, millions of interested homebuyers and investors search Foreclosure.com for the best deals in real estate.

Here’s a snip from Foreclosure.com Founder, President and CEO, Brad Geisen:

“More than 80 percent buyers now start their home searches on the Internet. Listing properties on our Web site is a fantastic solution for lenders to penetrate this huge buyer pool. We’re excited about our partnership with Indymac Bank® and are confident that the agreement will help reduce the number of REO listings on its books…. Our research indicates that only 17 percent of a traditional real estate marketing budget is spent online. That means sellers are spending 83 percent of their marketing dollars chasing only 20 percent of the buyers. Put simply, times are changing and the practices of lenders and others involved in the sale of real estate need to change along with it.”

To learn more about how to post REO listings on the Foreclosure.com Web site contact our Director of REO, Glen Daniels, at (561) 981-5337.

Foreclosure.com REO Director, Glen Daniels, was recently featured on the CNBC program, “Street Signs with Erin Burnett,” to discuss the national foreclosure situation and the fantastic real estate investment opportunities that are now available.

There are numerous foreclosure Web sites out on the Web. None of them, however, have a reputation for excellence and reporting responsible national foreclosure statistics like Foreclosure.com.

That’s because we’ve been at this since 1999. And even before we set up shop on the Internet, our executives such as President and CEO, Brad Geisen, had been successful in the foreclosure market for decades.

For today’s post, we want to pass along a little history on our company and related Web sites.

ForeclosureFreeSearch (www.ForeclosureFreeSearch.com) is the site that launched our successful business online back in 1999. In fact, this was among the first sites on the Web to provide online listings of foreclosures for sale.

Our founder, Brad Geisen — an accomplished real estate broker/investor — understood the value of putting foreclosure listings online for people to search for free. Brokers in turn would pay for the sellers leads.

ForeclosureFreeSearch.com quickly became a popular Web site. However, we did not see any significant returns as for one reason or another on the business side of things. Perhaps, the connect between site visitors and the brokers lost us in the mix.

As a result, we decided to switch to a monthly subscription model and continued on that path.

Over time, we started up the Web site Foreclosure.com because the foreclosure free search model wasn’t really where we knew it needed to be.

ForeclosureFreeSearch.com still exists and is an integral part of our business, but now Foreclosure.com is our main flagship and we try to provide all of the most up to date products on the Web site. This includes even more accurate foreclosure listings.

Today, our business has grown in to tax liens (www.taxliens.com), preforeclosures (www.preforeclosure.com) and FSBO Homes (www.forsaleownerhomes.com).

Together, all of these sites provide the best distressed real estate opportunities on the Web and represent tremendous investment opportunities.

Location and real estate go together like peas and carrots.

Cliche? Without a doubt.

But there’s a reason that the phrase “Location, location, location” is has such a familiar ring to it — because it is true. Buyers who have the foresight to capitalize on real estate opportunities in desirable areas early often enjoy the financial rewards sooner rather than later.

Sure, numerous buyers often step in … er, get lucky when it comes to finding hot locations. Sometimes there’s just no telling that a neighborhood or town is on the verge of resurgence before it’s too late. However, it’s sometimes simple to manufacture good fortune rather than just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.

For example, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) recently released its, “5 Great Places to Live” in the United States. This is a practical list that takes into consideration culture, work options, mass transit, fitness opportunities, and more — it’s not just a list of ideal destinations for retirees.

Indeed, the article attempts to find the locations that appeal to buyers at all stages of life, from “young families to active retirees, and everyone in between — so that older residents (and there are increasing numbers of them as boomers reach retirement age) are not a drain on a community’s resources but are an asset to them.”

So what does that mean for you as an investor?

The short answer is research locations that appeal to the largest buyer pool possible, particularly areas and neighborhoods that cater to young professionals and senior citizens alike.

This will more than likely ensure that your investment remains equitable (and perhaps appreciates over time), possessing strong resale value.

Here are the AARP top five spots:

• Atlanta, Georgia
• Portland, Oregon
• Chandler, Arizona
• Boston, Massachusetts
• Milwaukee, Wisconsin

To find distressed properties in these locations remember to check out Foreclosure.com for the best deals in real estate. We update our comprehensive database of more than 1.2 million listings at least twice each day.

And, it’s as easy as pie to search!
