BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, January 24, 2008 "“ RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, a leading carbon offset organization. RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com has implemented a global program offering its users the option to offset carbon emissions at the same time they list their property. This commitment establishes RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com as an environmental leader in the classified real estate advertising community and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global climate change.

RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com saw an opportunity to provide a service to the real estate industry, on a global scale, by doing two things. First, its listing services allow customers uploading property sales ads to feature the environmental benefits of the property. RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com believes in empowering people around the world to focus on where they can have the greatest impact: in their own homes and offices.

By focusing on the environmental features of property, RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com hopes that sellers will work towards making their property more sustainable. The benefits of making property more environmentally friendly include reduced utility bills and home expenses, which make it a win for both customers and the environment.

Second, RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com's partnership with Carbonfund.org allows it to provide its customers with a GREEN listing subscription. For every GREEN subscription chosen by its customers, RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com will offset 4000 pounds of carbon dioxide on behalf of the customer.

"RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com is proud of its association with a reputable non-profit organization like Carbonfund.org. We are excited to offer the global real estate community the opportunity to offset carbon emissions and make a positive environmental contribution," said Seth Rodgers, CEO of RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com.

"Homes account for a large portion of the world's energy consumption. Focusing on the measures ordinary homeowners can take to reduce and offset their carbon footprints is an eminently worthy goal," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We are excited to help RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com accomplish that goal and solidify their position as an industry environmental leader."
