Investing in real estate and relocating to a new state or even a new country are not uncommon occurrences these days. Until now, finding accurate real estate information quickly on the Internet has been like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Internet Resources and Services for International Real Estate Information: A Global Guide, by Sheau-yueh J. Chao, analyzes international Web sites that focus on real estate information and brings them together into one comprehensive directory. The Guide lists and annotates Web sites for 176 countries for a total of more than 1100 entries. Organized first by continent, then by country, each entry contains the name of the Web page with its URL address, the sponsoring organization responsible for the information, and an annotation describing the site and its contents. The entries cover many facets of international real estate information, including - Business investments - Mortgages and loans - Property investments - Property listings - Academic resources - Agents and agencies - Government resources - Relocation - Resort properties - Vacation homes Unlike any other resource for real estate information, Internet Resources and Services for International Real Estate Information: A Global Guide pulls together a multitude of information into one comprehensive directory. More than just for the savvy investor, this guide will help anyone interested in real estate, from someone looking for a vacation home to a person who needs to quickly relocate for his or her job.
