Live In Barbados: the property list blog

If you have property in Barbados to list for sale or rent, then you may want to check out the website at Live In Barbados: the property list blog (http://blog.barbadospropertylist.com), also know as Barbados Property List (BPL). Their mission statement includes being a 'one-stop shop for real estate property listings in Barbados'. Listing is on a two-scale basis, and the website is funded by listings and advertising only. The site also offers a newsletter by e-mail and a blog which offers information about many things going on in Barbados (eg, upcoming shows and other events, useful information, etc. such as a recent post on recycling). The site also offers some commentaries on local events.

I like the fact that the content is updated daily, and several times a day, and the reach of the site is being extended by use of the social networking media, such as Twitter and Facebook.

For me, it's a little confusing that the new site has a section titled 'living in Barbados' but we'll see how sharing that title works out for each of us :-). I promise to redirect any queries about real estate to BPL. Here's wishing them luck and lots of interest in what they are doing.
