Yes yes, there are tons of “real estate glossaries” and other sites that define the most commonly-used real estate terms, but most of them are antiquated laundry lists cobbled together from other laundry lists. I was sent this site, RealEstateWiki.com, which is pretty interesting. It could, like so many other niche sites, fall flat on its face or just die a slow and obscure death of disuse. But it is the only site I know of that makes use of the wiki platform to create a pretty expansive glossary, FAQs, and whitepages specific to real estate. It’s the brainchild of Stefan Swanepoel, a touring real estate educator who apparently has altruistic motives for the site; it’s all free with no advertising or other fees to use. It could grow into something useful.
