Real Estate Industry's Answer to Myspace: Amidst U.S. Recession, Elite World Search Connects Domestic, Global Markets

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- In an effort to combat the downward spiral of current real estate industry conditions, EWS Global Real Estate Solutions (EWS) has developed a revolutionary tool to mitigate the influence of local market factors. The EWS website, www.eliteworldsearch.com (http://www.eliteworldsearch.com) fuses benefits of the traditional Multiple Listings Services (MLS's) with the most comprehensive international real estate database and networking service available. The result is a cost effective avenue for anyone seeking to connect his or her local real estate situation with global marketing services and form professional relationships with real estate service providers and investors worldwide. EWS offers the real estate community a unique opportunity to expand their businesses internationally and truly globalize the real estate industry.

EWS Global Real Estate Solution's founder and CEO, Krista Depperschmidt, and co-founder Linda S. Driza, relied on their own experience as International Property Specialists, to glean insight into their clients' frustration with existing domestic services, and lack of ability to effectively meet and network with the global real estate community. By offering a single international forum for property exposure, as well as promoting opportunities for rentals and vacation homes and offering unique networking services, EWS provides an all-inclusive online resource to assist consumers, agents, investors/developers and other service providers in connecting with the International Real Estate Community.

In the wake of the social networking movement, EWS has pioneered a means of applying the trend to the real estate industry. EWS's networking services are comparable to the social networking sites MySpace (http://www.myspace.com) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com), but with a professional atmosphere and a specific goal in mind.

"What sets EWS apart are our professional environment and prominent focus on, and commitment to, uniting the global real estate community. Our members have the ability to seek out and contact real estate professionals, such as agents, brokers, mortgage lenders, attorneys, etc. from all over the world and, with a click of a button, add them to their personal network. One of our goals is to increase our members' opportunities to give and receive transnational referrals, while connecting them with real estate markets around the world in a way that's never before been possible," explained Depperschmidt. "The fact that our members have the ability to broaden their customer base, and a convenient way to stay in close contact with international investors, clients and professionals, is a huge advantage for them in today's market. They now have the resources necessary to effectively market themselves and their properties to the International community. You can't get that kind of service, at such a high quality and affordable price, anywhere else. And with the value of the US Dollar today, the timing is perfect for reaching out to foreign markets."

Unique options such as Featured Listings, allow property owners or agents to effectively position their properties to a global market. Customers like Troy Lupinacci of Orlando, FL have already experienced the results firsthand. "I was able to advertise my condo for rent on EliteWorldSearch.com" said Lupinacci, "and I received inquiries from all over the world. It was amazing how quickly it returned responses!" Adds Daytona Beach Real Estate Broker, Bart Jones, with Bart Jones Real Estate (http://www.bartjones.com), "While the domestic market shows no immediate signs of a dramatic upswing, this website gives me the ability to extend my advertising reach to an International audience, and allows me to create and maintain an International Network of clients and other real estate professionals, at an affordable price."
