Another GREAT website for ideas around the Portland area

I was just browsing the web today and found this great website — www.PortlandPicks.com.  It’s fun reading, easy to navigate and full of SO much information!  Readers are able to sign up for a subscription to it or just go visit this site every Friday for the newest issue.  You can also access past issues in the Archives tab.

Each issue has a beginning theme with a short article that most everyone can relate to.  Many times it’s about the writers experiences and usually a funny situation you can relate to.  After the article is a list of ideas to check out around Portland and can include food, bars, clothing, designers, kid stuff and even hotels.

 At the top of their page, there are tabs to click on.  One is a monthly calendar of “hip happenings” in the Portland area.  Definitely worth taking a look at and finding new and interesting activities.

    New Web Giant Launches Portal Site – Plans on Dominating Web-based Real Estate Sector

    04/12/2007
    Chicago, IL based Profertee Realty Group, inc launches its much anticipated real estate portal site (www.profertee.com) Monday morning. Partnering with Melville, NY based American Home Mortgage(NYSE: AHM) and Home Buyers Marketing inc, Profertee’s site is boasting access to over 3.6 million real estate listings nation wide, as well as various premium new construction developments located in Orlando, Las Vegas, and Chicago, just to name a few. Profertee’s mission is to offer a free, user-friendly real estate shopping experience, while also providing additional value-added features such as investment groups, home-valuation tools through Zillow integration, useful real estate investing strategies, and free mortgage quotes through American Home’s retail channels. “We are truly a one-stop-shop”, says Profertee CEO Rhoniel Daguro. “The site has everything a user could want, but we really wanted to feature the premier new construction developments. That is something that no one is really organizing online, and we’ve taken things one step further by forming buyers into investment groups, giving them access to considerable savings at the various developments.”

    Profertee also provides local one-on-one services through the thousands of realtors approved with Home Buyers Marketing, inc. Users can create an account on www.profertee.com to search over 3.6 million listings for a home anywhere in the US and still deal with a local partner agent once they are closer to buying. It is in this way that Profertee is providing the best of both worlds: the power of the internet + traditional local realtor partners. Navigate to www.profertee.com today and test drive their site. Also stay tuned for our follow up segment on Profertee in June.
