Real estate listing sites and social media sites are a great way to get visibility for new listings online.

One of my all time favorite writers is Seth Godin. He is a marketing genius. In fact, I strongly recommend All Marketers Are Liars ~ The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World.
