QUOTES:
Attributable to Mike Gorman, Founder and CEO of CORUS REALTY
"We created RealtyInstitute.com to
provide DC, Virginia and Maryland homebuyers, sellers, and homeowners with
factual information about their neighborhoods and the home real estate
market."
"The Realty Institute
Index is a unique tool that quantifies the supply and demand
characteristics of each local market. For every zip code in the region, it
answers the question: 'Is this a hot market, or has the bubble popped?'
And it really shows that the real estate market changes street by street --
while the overall real estate market is slow, there are pockets of hot
activity."
"Our neighborhood
experts are going to be able to provide the straight scoop on a
neighborhood, street or house. In most cases, they live in the
neighborhoods and can answer questions that you might ask a trusted
next-door neighbor."
