Orlando Florida (December 3th, 2009) – Carlos German & Team, with Orlando Classic Homes, announced today, the official launch of their new state-of-the-art real estate website for buyers and sellers in the Disney World Orlando area, www.CarlosAndTeam.com. The new website provides visitors with powerful tools to narrow down their search and find properties with improved ease of use.
“We really wanted to provide the most powerful real estate search in the Disney area and I think we’ve achieved that,” .said Carlos German, Realtor®, ABR®, e-PRO® and Team leader at Carlos German & Team
The website provides access to the entire database of MLS listings in Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, Haines City, Windermere and surrounding areas. It also allows visitors to search for residential and vacation homes near Disney by subdivision, map, zip code and even street address. Visitors are also able to view information and statistics on most communities near Disney which are categorized by their denomination of “New Community”, “Vacation Community”, “Golf Community” or “Residential Community”.
“We also added tools to allow users to really delve into properties like never before,” German said. Users on the site are able to map individual listings, get directions to points of interest from any property’s location, get ‘Bird’s Eye Views’ from Microsoft, map nearby local amenities, and even see ‘Street Views’ of the property and nearby establishments through Walkscore®.
The website planning began over 12 months ago, and what originally was meant to be a small local real estate website with a planned launch date of August 14th 2008, ended up being a much bigger project that took well over a year to complete.
“Sometimes people don’t realize how much research and development goes into these projects. Once we were done with the research phase and had all our ideas gathered, we contacted the best real estate web developers we could find and were able to put it all together in less than 4 months. It takes a lot of work though, no question about it,” said Carlos German, whom took it upon himself to spend countless hours looking through other websites to see what ideas were worth implementing on his team’s site. Research also involved study of market data for proper segmentation, search engine optimization, keyword and content analysis among other things.
The site was developed by Real Estate Webmasters, one of the leaders in real estate website design and marketing in the United States and Canada.

Well, in a more casual note, I would like to send kudos and thanks to the Real Estate Webmasters staff who made this project possible, and did an amazing job. Really, AMAZING!!!
Posted by Carlos German on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 at 7:04pmIn no particular order I would like to thank:
Brad - Thanks for bringing my vision to life better than I could have imagined! You are a heck of a designer and this is the prettiest thing I've ever seen on the web. Not 'cause is mine! Your attention to detail was outstanding, to say the least!
Nick and Shane - Thanks for the initial setup of my IDX and LEC. It seems like it was 10 years ago doesn't it? Shane, you really did it up my friend!
Jesse - Hey Jesse, you are some serious genius. Really, I mean it, that communities manager works like a charm, the maps everywhere, my custom IDX search, the listing details pages, everything is off the charts. I'm loving every bit of it and I know my visitors will too.
Gerry - Aren't you glad we are done with this? I must have my own folder on your email inbox! Thanks for your patience and great responses to all my emails. You are a heck of a productions manager and glued everything together for me here with such great charm. I really appreciate everything.
Aaron - Thanks for the support, the quotes and everything in between. It was a pleasure working with you!
Morgan - I can't forget the boss! Kudos man. You have a tremendous team at REW. I'm really glad I got matched up with these group of guys to do my site but I'm sure all other programmers and designers on your team are just as great. You've done a great job recruiting this team and building such a great company. Keep it going!
Well, I'm getting teary-eyed here but NOT. Let's go sell houses and get an ROI off this thing!
Kudos yourself, Carlos!
Posted by Gerry on Friday, December 4th, 2009 at 12:18pmThis site is going to the top of our portfolio, at least in my reckoning, and it's due as much to your direction and vision as it is to our team's efforts.
I expect that ROI is just around the corner (or maybe not, considering your itchy trigger finger in our custom department!).
Best of luck, and I'm sure my "Carlos" folder has a long way to go before it's filled.
"itchy trigger finger"
Posted by Carlos German on Saturday, December 5th, 2009 at 7:51pmTell me about it. I'm going to have to lock me up in a basement or something! :-)
Thanks for the great wishes. I'm sure we'll do just fine!
Take care.
