Best Real Estate Web Site 2006, 2005, 2004
"This Dow Jones product provides constantly updated commercial and residential real estate news. The site is user friendly with great navigational and interactive elements. It is by far the easiest to navigate of all of the entries in this category, but what particularly sets it apart—it is as rare as it is important with web copy—is crisp editing and careful story selection. It shows real enterprise reporting and geographic diversity."
-- The National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE) 2006, 2005, 2004 Journalism Awards

Classified Best Practices 2007
"The Wall Street Journal site has "verticalized" its content in a compelling way. For instance, the Home & Garden area really stands out. It also has an excellent split of residential and commercial sections that we didn't see on other sites.... It also has well-placed search boxes, and it effectively uses various Web 2.0 tools, including e-mail, RSS and a rate calculator."
-- The Kelsey Group in judging sites powered by Adicio

"Some of the best available resources for information on REITs, REIT trading, the real-estate industry and the indexes that track it can be found on RealEstateJournal.com/reits. This online guide to property and REITs has quarterly performance information, charts and experts' views on trends in the REIT sector."
-- Research Magazine, 2005

"The family of five sites [in The Wall Street Journal Online Network] operates as one, presenting great examples of ease of navigation and consistency.... [T]he cyber-essence of The Wall Street Journal sites is the ease with which the reader can move from item to item, and from site to site...

All of these sites are fast, well-designed and full of more information about the subjects they treat than could ever be done justice with as few words as these."
-- Pennsylvania Newspaper Association Foundation, 2005 Newspaper Excellence in Cyberspace Award. Winning categories: Ease of Navigation; Consistency

"Our firm, Land Property Associates, offers investment grade farmland to investors. We decided to advertise our services by linking our website to the commercial property section of RealEstateJournal.com. The results to date have far exceeded our expectations. Our program has been up and running for only 26 days and already 343 people have visited our website as a result of our advertising link to RealEstateJournal. I am more than happy to spend my advertising dollars to attract the kind of buyer who is using RealEstateJournal as a source for their property search."
-- Roy Fischer, Land Property Associates

"Several sites have endeavored to become users' one stop source for real-estate information on the Internet. Few have enjoyed the immediate brand recognition held by RealEstateJournal.com, from The Wall Street Journal. RealEstateJournal.com's creators have lived up to this promise, leveraging content from The Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com to create an expansive guide to real estate buying, selling, management and investing that practitioners will want to bookmark on their Internet browsers.

The writing is the real star of RealEstateJournal. Although the site contains several toolkits to help users compute things such as mortgage payments and provides links to relocation tools, the equivalent can be found on other sites. In general, these articles carry an analytical focus. They concentrate more on placing current trends in context than real-estate news sites. For example, on RealEstateJournal, you are more likely to see a feature dissecting REITs' resilience in a cooling real estate market, instead of a simple summary of recent REIT stock prices. Similarly, the site's residential coverage focuses on trends such as how gaps between buyer and seller expectations for luxury home prices are driving the sector's rental market.

The residential section seems largely geared toward consumers, with pages devoted to home improvement, house and garden, and relocating. Still, the "Buying and Selling" section will probably prove interesting to practitioners for its coverage of residential market trends. The "City Profiles" is another standout feature. It not only contains the typical information you would expect from a city profile, such as population and cost of living, but details on everything from average commuting times to the average citizen's political bent.

RealEstateJournal.com stands as an impressive debut and has immediately elbowed its way into a position as a top real estate web option."

"You are doing a great job. I look forward to the pages each day. I think it gives me a 'leg up' on others in my profession that do not keep up with what's going on in their world."
-- Tom Duncan, Broker, Investment Property Specialist, Klein & Heuchan, Inc., Clearwater, Fla.

"Keep up the good work. I look forward to checking your message board each day. THANK YOU!"

"I have little knowledge of the real estate or property markets, but after spending 30 minutes on RealEstateJournal.com, I have a much better appreciation for what you have built. For everything that I could think to look up relating to home purchasing, this site had content to assist me. A well thought out design and navigation makes it that much better. So much data and so many sections, but you have delivered it wonderfully. Your partnerships seem to be with the leaders in the industry and make it a true "one stop" website. Great site."
