When choosing a name make sure it is professional. You want a name that can work when you are buying, selling and in all situations.

I would choose a name like " something property solutions" or " something property consultants" or " something realty solutions" .

I would avoid any type of name such as " we buy houses fast" or " we buy houses in 7 days" .

Make sure your name helps you create a professional image.

You are welcome. You want your name to always be professional. Your advertising and marketing will have the " we buy houses" message, so sellers will know the services you are offering.

Just keep it short and to the point.

My site was a mess on the front page for a while, conversions are much better now that it has been organized.

galvin what is your business name?

Also, do most of you have 2 websites? One that you put on your bandit signs /marketings

Such as
We buy houses fast
800-555-kwik
www.kwikbuy.com

And then your actual business is " Something Realty Solutions"

Just thinking that most people are not likely to remember www.somethingrealtysolutions.com as opposed to kwikbuy.com

Does anyone thing there is a disadvantage to going with a .net address over a .com? Alot of the names I have tried are unavailable w .com, but available with .net

Btw. - for those registering websites check out www.directdot.com a few bucks cheaper than register or godaddy.

Hey Troyce
I think you will have less advantage using a .NET and with the same name that is already taken in .COM. If the .COM is more popular, people will tend to check that out and dont be surprised if people come back to you and say that they did not any relevant information in your website (they would've been looking at the .COM instead of your .NET).

As for good offers, you can also check www.1and1.com - I got a website for $5 for the 1st year if I remember right or something like that.

In my opinion, there should only be one single Business card (KISS Strategy - Keep It Simple Stupid) :). As for the paying finders fee, I remember one of the threads in our forum where one of our investors was questioned by an attorney for highlighting finder's fee (of $250 or something) to bird dogs on their website. It appears that it is illegal to advertise finder's fee and rather you keep it verbal.

Finally, for suggestions on the website names think outside the box. The more you want to have Realty Solutions and Property Solutions in your company name the less choices you have. For e.g. Intelligent Investors (is already taken by some attorney if I remember right) would be a good choice to describe your business. Nobody is looking at a paraphrase of your business in your title. Give your business a catchy name and at the same convey what you are doing, subtly!

Jus my 2 cents.

Cheers

I'd go with 2 sites.

1 for advertising thats EASY/SHORT and a dot com.

1 for your actual business entity.

Is having realitysolutions in your domain too long? I like the way it sounds but something gives me a feeling people wouldn't want to type something that long in. It is America there are A LOT of lazy people...

Haha oh god I didn't even notice I did that. Long day of work... I guess it does say exactly what you are looking to do. I have been looking into websites a bit because I plan to start REI after the school year doing Wholesaling and Rent/hold, so I figure it is a good thing to start looking at.
