Hi there!

Since this is a brand new section of our web site, I wanted to make a small example of how it works and looks.

Basically you start with creating a question on the main Q&A page and on submission it redirects you to fill in more details, like more information regarding your question, category and location (if it's related to a specific place).

After the question is posted, everyone will be able to read it, but only registered users will be able to reply. Also, responses can be rated by user.

I think that's it. Feel free to post your questions and answers :)

Max

I like the new layout of the site, it's very 2.0 feeling. The Q&A trick really did the trick for Trulia, so I hope that this becomes successful for you guys.

Thanks James! I've been getting direct emails from the directory visitors asking for help with their real estate needs. Since I can't satisfy everyone's requests, I decided to create this Q&A section and include the lead generation form on the business listings pages (which actually working very wells so far - I see leads going to their respective businesses every day now).

James, I appreciate you bringing this up. I created a subject specific thread in the forums and would like to hear all suggestions there. BTW, forum requires separate registration, since it's a different application and not integrated with the directory.

Well, the Inland Empire has pretty much the highest foreclosure rate in the country. This is because the developers went nuts and built way to many homes, too quickly, so they stretched out the available credit too far. It is definately a buyers market now though, and people are jumping on it now instead of waiting for more slippage. Providing Riverside Real Estate services http://www.theriversidehomesource.com

Good Luck to you in your area! I agree that buyers are getting in now, but there is less credit, and it's harder to obtain. Newport Coast Real Estate

What a great idea! Implementing a Q&A section will not only help consumers who find your site, but will be a great asset to us agents as well when we have questions for each other.
