A Message from Jennifer
Hello to you! This is my inaugural blog. I am Jennifer McDougal and I publish Your HomeDream™. What is Your HomeDream? More than a magazine, Your HomeDream is an advertising system that connects home buyers and homeowners with real estate associates and home-related businesses.
Our design team has taken the standard "free" real estate magazine of old and brought it into the now of internet marketing. We have discovered that we all want as much information about a subject as we can get. More and more, we turn to the internet for that info, especially before we make a major purchase. A print real estate magazine is a useful tool in advertising homes, however is does have it’s limits as far as content. One of my goals is to give you access to as much information about the home you are seeking to purchase. We’ve all grown up with the words, “home ownership: the American dream”. I believe that most everyone has what I call a “Home Dream”. You have a vision for your life which includes the place you want to live. You know just the type of home you’re looking for. It’s not just your “dream home” it is your home dream. Your home dream certainly includes the kind of house you want to purchase, but it also includes the community where you will work, play and rest. You are not just choosing a house, you are choosing a lifestyle, too. Our easy-to-navigate system allows you to check out the counties and the cities where you hope to reside. We also give you links to local home-related services that you may need. We know that time is money and your time is valuable. That is why our team continually works to keeps our site current with a simplicity of use. We urge our advertisers to give you as much access to a home or property they are listing online, so you can make a qualified decision about that home before you call to see it.
I believe we are a fresh idea in real estate marketing whose time is now. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and happy Your HomeDream hunting!

Announcing a change to the online magazine!
Improving the way our system works for our readers and advertisers is an important process in the evolution of the Your HomeDream multi-marketing system. We have changed the online magazine to Flash format. The magazine loads much faster is easer to read and includes an improved user interface. The Acrobat version will remain available at the archive page for those that require a more in-depth look at the magazine.

The McDougal Design OCF multi-marketing system
Print advertising is only a part of a REALTOR®'s arsenal when marketing a listing for their client. A complete marketing strategy would include all of the options available to attract the attention of the home buyer. The Your HomeDream multi-marketing system is designed to assist business owners in meeting their marketing strategy in many ways while keeping the time needed for the creation of the data for the advertising to a minimum.
When an advertiser includes their company data and listing data in the Online Copy Folder (OCF) system that data is used to create many possible exposures. A print magazine, e-magazine, company web site, agent web site, and listing web pages. We can direct an advertiser owned domain name to the OCF content to create a Real Estate office site, Affilliate Advertiser Site and Agent Sites. Our "hosted domain" sites include the full suite of Google services and email. Advertisers are not limited to the number of listings they can include in their OCF database. All that is required is a minimum ad purchase in the print magazine or a monthly subscription to the system if the advertiser prefers to not place an ad in the print magazine. All of our online services are included in the print or subscription price. Once a commitment for an ad/subscription is made we "turn on" the advertisers site and add all of the content created by the advertiser is added to the magazine web site and hosted domain sites. Our system then adds all the pages for each site to a unique sitemap.xml file so the search engines can quickly add the pages to their search index.
We allow the direct embed of data code into every site and the listing page to allow showing, directly in the home pages, any virtual tour, YouTube video, or any other compatible data code embedded. That allows even more exposure for advertisers purchased or created digital content to be placed in front of their potential customers.
The OCF system is dynamic. We are continuing in it’s development adding new features improving current operations and design. We are open to suggestions and comments in that process.
Your HomeDream is more than homes for sale. Many housing industry affiliated advertisers have found the Your HomeDream multi-marketing system to be a useful tool for attracting new customers as well. Affiliate advertisers enjoy the same benefits and services available to our Home Selling customers.
