Online Real Estate Trading
Online trading can take two forms.
The first is simply the inclusion of a text box alongside a real-estate listing, stating the seller will consider a trade and possibility a description of what the seller is looking to trade for. Craigslist is a popular example of this. While not specifically geared towards permanent trades, it is often used for such purposes. There are also several web sites, mostly set up by realtors, that use this approach.
The second, more sophisticated, approach uses a model similar to a dating service. Such a web site matches sellers with other sellers based on what each seller has and what each is looking to trade for. There are a small number of web sites that make use of this approach.

Famous quotes containing the words real, estate and/or trading:
“The words themselves are clean, so are the things to which they apply. But the mind drags in a filthy association, calls up some repulsive emotion. Well, then, cleanse the mind, that is the real job. It is the mind which is the Augean stables, not language.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?”
—Book Of Common Prayer, The. Solemnization of Matrimony, “Betrothal,” (1662)
“His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
