Welcome!

The HomeNet™ central distribution database – is a new shared database service for all real estate advertising companies, using state-of-the-art technology to distribute an entire database of properties available from other real estate websites to your site for display, in real-time.

Please take a moment to review the illustration below to grasp the premise of this concept, then look at the more detailed explanation starting on the "Why? (Industry Profile)" page (link above) and progressing through "How It Works", "Benefits", and finally "Participate".

Listing information from your site and links to your listings could be legally acquired and compiled through spidering technologies without your participation (e.g. Ticketmaster v. Tickets.com), if that was what we were trying to accomplish. But, that's not what we're about. The HomeNet's purpose is to benefit contributors and the real estate industry as a whole, not harm or eliminate companies built around that industry.

1. With over 1000 real estate marketing sites online, home buyers must first find, then visit, a large number of sites to view all the real estate in their area
 
2. As a partial solution, agents have created a system where a home buyer may visit one real estate agent (any agent) and locate any piece of real estate by any agent, through the massive MLS database
 
3. The HomeNet is a complete solution to the problem. It provides a network that is open to all real estate websites and an easy place for buyers to search ALL the available real estate from the comfort of their own home.
