Naming This Online Real Estate Barter Community

Rob Wickens's picture

So it time for our team to figure out the name of this online real estate bartering community.

Team, here is my first shot at names and some initial research into other web properties in this online space. Good news is that this niche looks to be poorly serviced online.

Hi,

The current economic climate has left many people in the unfavorable
position of having to sell and move, but are unable to do so. In
addition, many owners and investors have a number of properties they
would rather exchange for more desirable or favored properties, than
retain as stock. Prop Swap provides such clients with an inexpensive
tool to access exclusive organizations or investors seeking properties
in new areas. With property sales falling and regular sales chains
collapsing, the time is ripe for creative marketing and sales solutions
within the property market.

By selling the property

By selling the property also, you can put foreclosures at rest. However there is a virtual risk involved in this attempt. If you are not able to sell the property well in advance, before the specific date, when you want to get the market price, a risk is involved.

sell and rent back

A real estate agent is more than just a "sales person."  They act on
your behalf as your agent, providing you with advice and guidance and
doing a job - helping you buy or sell a home.  Due to the fast changing
market, the data on available listings is not 100% accurate.  There are
times when you need the most current information about what has sold or
is for sale, and the only way to get that is with an agent.

Stop Repossession

The main intention of performing the real estate appraisal is that is
to improve the land value. Real estate appraisal can be made on both
the commercial and housing property obtainable in the market.

Ok here is what I'd like to do

Can we each choose 1-2 of our favorites from these lists and then in the interests of democracy, I will create a poll where we can all vote on what the name will be! So reply directly to this comment with one or two of your favorites, and then I will seed them in a poll we can all vote on. For now the "code name" of this project is barterblaze.

The two names I choose to go in the poll are:

1. Barter Blaze

2. The Property Barter

Don't forget to make sure your two favs are available.

Another name

Dan's picture

Everyone, another name we tossed around back in the day was one called Pyroteer - kind of has a cool ring to it and it's Pyro!

Barter Blaze

Matt Kearns's picture

I prefer Barter Blaze. I like the alliteration aspect of it but also that is keep with the fire branding we are attemtping to do. Plus, Dan thought of it.

More naming possibilities...

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my wife is really intrigued by this new home bartering social network.  As such, we went out to dinner last night and this is all we talked about. 

We thought that the name should be either...way out in left field with no evident connection to the home bartering industry, (ie Google, ebay, Yahoo, Apple, Embers, etc...), or it needed to have a direct connection with home, neighborhood, community, etc...  So, we came up with a few names that resonated with us:

HomeToHome.com; HomeToHomeNetwork; HomeToHomeConnection; TheHomeConnection; TheHomeownersConnection; TheHomeNetwork; HomeOwnersNetwork; HouseToHomeNetwork; HeartToHomeNetwork; OurHomeNetwork; MyHomeNetwork;

TheNeighborhood.com;  TheNeighborhoodConnection; Neighbors; MyNeighborhoodConnection; NeighborsToNeighbors; TheNeighborhoodNetwork; MyNeighborhoodNetwork; NetworkingWithNeighbors; CommunityConnection; CommunityNetwork;

Not sure if any of these are even available, but thought they might stimulate another direction in our creative thought process. 

I think we need to remember that this is an idea that needs to resonate across demographics; in metro, rural and suburbia; on the coasts, in the mountains and fly-over country; and in the US & Canada.  

 

I completely agree

I totally agree with this comment. Personally I think the name of this REALLY needs to have something about 'homes' or 'house' or something in the name because a name like 'the barter community' implies to me its all about bartering, and not about homes. The bartering isn't even the important part of the site, it's the homes.  Somy opinion is we need to move away from the barter aspect in the name and move towards something about homes.

Out of the names listed above, I like 'the home connection' and 'house to home network' and 'the home exchange'

Mortgage possibilities...

Just thinking about a few other naming possibilities:

MyMortgageBailOut.com; MortgageMovers.com; MortgageMadness.com; HomeMortgageSolutions.com; MyMortgageCrisis.com; MortgageExchange.com; HomeExchange.com;

BaracksMortgageSolution.com; ObamaRama; MyBarackSolution.com;  (just kidding)

Once again, not sure if any of these are even available...

Name + Competitors

Dan's picture

The only "competitor" I see in this space is goswap.org, those other sites were either for connecting people on a SALE basis, or were just relatively poorly developed properties. And we'll be launching with some immediate strategic advantages over goswap, namely:

  1. Social networking capabilities
  2. Better out of the box SEO
  3. Better branding and marketing
  4. More powerful tools for Barter Members

As for the name, I kind of like

  • TheBarterCommunity.com (although its a bit generic)
  • And BarterBlaze.com has kind of grown on me..

I'd really like to think of something using our incendia pyromarketing... flame, blaze, flash, fire, spark, pyro, etc. IncendiaBarter is ok, but given the fact that a lot of people don't know how to spell or pronouce our name already that one might backfire for direct navigation traffic.
