The world’s most innovative portals

This is not a list of the best-looking and technically original real estate search engines, although there are some Web 2.0 sites in the list. Instead we look at portals with innovative ideas that have delivered results or, at least in our opinion, have a good chance of delivering for advertisers.

Take a look at www.priceonapplication.com. We specialise in advertising properties with values in excess of £1m globally. A very niche market for luxury property buyers and sellers.

Hi Emma, Only one of the portals in the list is a paid advertiser. Our editorial is totally independent. We will look to review your website in the near future. Best Ashley

Nestoria is great I'd also add Mouseprice.net to the list.

Great picks and interesting read ... Even more innovative is a redfin-esque company, Territory Real Estate, that also uses the internet to lower transaction costs but adds a twist by working with buyers for at a flat fee. With plans to grow nationally this summer redfin's model that takes a % of the %commission will pale in comparison. Territory will change the way real estate is searched and how it is bought. Keep your eyes peeled ... coming to your town next: WWW.Territoryre.com

I'll have added Nestoria to the list
