Why write “Rainbow Realty of Fresno County”?

rainbowrealty — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:03:29 +0000

First allow me to quote an excerpt from a “White Page” written by mysearchguru.com regarding “The Online Gay Market”….

….“According to a recent study, the gay population (including both gay men and lesbian women) in the United States is 16.5 million, with the buying power of $27.3K per capita (Selig Center for Economic Growth, University of Georgia).

Gays are twice as likely to have a household income over $60,000, and twice as likely to have even higher disposable income (Socratic Research and Greenfield Online).

81% use the Internet more than once a day, and more than half spend up to three hours a day online.

Research conducted by Computer Economics in 1999 forecast that the worldwide gay Internet population will increase from 9.2 million users in 1999 to 17.1 million in 2005.

And, a study done in 1998 by Simmons Market Research Bureau, shows that of the gay population, 62% own a personal computer, and 52% use and/or subscribe to online services.

Unfortunately, if you go to many of the search engines and type in the keyword “gay,” more often than not you will find yourself at a sex site. Obviously, a tremendous amount of the online gay market is not being reached. “

I am a gay man, living in Fresno Ca, and doing what I love most…Helping people find their “dream home”. In recent years it has become increasingly obvious to me, that there has been a shortage of “gay friendly” Real Estate websites on the Internet. It stands to reason that people practicing a GLBT lifestyle may feel more comfortable working with a gay or “gay friendly” Real Estate Agent.

Thus…”Rainbow Realty of Fresno County” Blog…It is my hopes that in the coming days, weeks, months, and hopefully years this Blog will present you with some useful information regarding where to live, play, and work in Fresno County. We will make suggestions based on our experiences living in this amazing community as to where you may find the most accepting neighborhoods, GLBT entertainment, and shopping areas locally to contribute to your complete enjoyment of your new home…Your “Dream Home”…

…Please check back often, leave comments, send us emails, and lend suggestions that may help all of us in the GLBT community here in Fresno County Ca, live better!

Sincerely,

Jim Sherrick
