Dec 6th 1999 - the aussiehome.com web site went live to the world ... 7 months since the idea first came to 2 MBA grads from UWA - for a map-based internet site showing properties for sale or rent.

It was the height of the dotcom craze; the new millenium approached; the new economy beckoned. Back then, zero property enquiries came from the web - today? estimates put it at more than 70%.

Large media companies know this and they also know that newspapers are dying worldwide. Perth is not isolated from this trend.

BUT - we shouldn't allow the large media companies to 'own the Internet' - the Internet allows us to release ourselves from this position and put the media power BACK into the hands of the common folk - you and me.

Putting the media power back into your hands - is the aussiehome.com mission - always has been, will always be.

We've all come a long way together - here's to another decade!

And thank you. For your support of WA's ONLY independently owned and operated real estate web site business.

A great night on 2nd December at Cambridge Bowling Club - 150 attendees toasted aussiehome.com on its 10th birthday, with a vote of thanks from David Airey, President of the Real Estate Institute of Australia...

Update on last month's article about mobile sites - if you now go to aussiehome.com on ANY mobile device, you will see a scaled down mobile version of the site. You can even watch our TV show on a mobile now, get travel directions, do property searches....

and yes, You can have your site "mobilised" too.

2 options - a ZERO upfront and ongoing monthly fee (so it works on all devices); or a once off fee that works on a few set devices.

Will more and more people access internet sites on mobiles? Yes. Will you need to mobilise your site? Yes. Now? Maybe, maybe not - but we can help you out - please contact us for more details.

THE real estate technology conference (Inman's "Real Estate Connect" - click here for more info) globally occurs twice yearly - in San Francisco in August and in New York in January.

aussiehome MD Charlie Gunningham is attending the New York conference next month - and will be reporting back in Feb's enewsletter (we take a break in Jan) on all the latest innovations in technology as related to real estate.

Charlie will also be providing a FREE SEMINAR ( 'Leadership Circle') in February 2010 laying out the best ideas from around the globe. Unmissable.

UNTIL THEN, may we wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and FANTASTIC NEW YEAR

We will be closing our offices from 12 noon on Christmas Eve and opening again 9am on Mon 4th Jan 2010
