Update on Mashcor.com

Tuesday 24 March 2009 @ 8:23 am

Hi everyone,

I just received a thank you from Thoriso Mashego, webmaster of Mashcor Real Estate forum!

He wanted to thank me and all of you for your support and great posts. The real estate forum is only 3 months old but over has over 61 members signed up and over 40 topics opened for discussion.

You have been brilliant and I just wanted to thank you all. There have been some spammers who tried to post links without contributing but Thoriso caught them in time. I hope you were not put off by them. The posts in the forum will have to be approved before they appear but it takes less than 24 hours generally.

Good luck and enjoy. Keep joining and posting. The community will continue to grow exponentially and you will be seen as the early members with authority on the forum. Later in the year Thoriso promises to build a massive advertising network with the forum as his focus that will serve you if you wish to buy, sell or rent property from other members. It won’t be free (it can be very costly to run a self funding network) but it will be worth your while to have exposure of your properties to the world.

A trully global real estate network.

As you can see, there are already some Realtors contributing to the forum.

Here is the link in case you don’t have it; Real Estate.
