Miami, Fla. -US Condo Exchange, LLC, www.uscondex.com, the global advertising portal and international multiple listing service for condos, continues its wave of powerful international alliances by announcing today that it has teamed with Ireland's largest property web site, www.Daft.ie, to showcase US Condo Exchange's condo listings. Daft is one of Ireland's most recognized Internet brands with over 30,000 properties available for sale and to let (rent) at any one time, and with over 1.3 million monthly visitors. The alliance with US Condo Exchange adds significantly to the Irish web site's listings, and opens up an enormous potential buying base for owners and investors in U.S. condos, with the Irish representing one of the strongest economic audiences in Europe.    

"Ireland represents a demographic base with very strong ties to the U.S. and with very solid buying power," said James Haft, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer of US Condo Exchange, www.uscondex.com. "US Condo Exchange is harnessing that buyer power through this very important alliance with Daft."

The "Celtic Tiger", as Ireland is known in financial circles, boasts a vibrant, globalized economy with the second highest Gross Domestic Product per capita in the European Union, topped only by Luxembourg. The U.S. is Ireland's second-largest export destination, and in 2003, there was $9.1 billion worth of new U.S. investment in Ireland, more than twice the U.S. investment flow to China. Currently, there are more than 570 U.S. subsidiaries in Ireland spanning activities from the manufacturing of high-tech electronics, computer products, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals to retailing, banking and finance, and other services.

 

Daft's property website stands out among successful businesses in Ireland, with www.Daft.ie recognized as one of the 5 best e-Business Websites in the world at the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society, which took place in Tunisia last fall. A panel of 35 international experts evaluated websites from 168 countries to find the best in the world in e-learning, e-culture, e-science, e-health, e-business, e-entertainment and more.

 

Added Richard Swerdlow, CEO of US Condo Exchange, "For Daft to have chosen US Condo Exchange as their North American portal for properties is a huge vote of confidence in our technology and condo e-commerce capabilities."

 

The new pairing is one more step in US Condo Exchange's efforts to globalize the U.S. condo market and comes on the heels of similar listing agreement with Primelocation, www.primelocation.com, the UK's leading online real estate portal, and Germany's largest real estate web site, www.ImmobilienScout24.de.
