About
About PreferredProperties.com
PreferredProperties.com is an independent real estate media and education resource. We’re not a brokerage, we don’t represent buyers or sellers, and we have no licensing or professional affiliation with any real estate company — including any business that happens to share our name.
Independent
No brokerage, no listings, no client on the other side of the page. We don’t represent buyers or sellers and hold no real-estate license or affiliation.
Primary-sourced
Every market figure is attributed to a named public source with its date — the Fed, Census Bureau, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Realtor.com — never insider claims.
Transparent
We earn from affiliate and advertising links, and we disclose them plainly. Partnerships never shape the editorial.
A Domain With a Long History
This domain was first registered in 1995 to support a small, independently owned real estate business called Preferred Properties, run by a friend of the founder. For years it served as that business’s website. After the original owner passed away, the domain remained — and with it, a long-standing presence on the web that predates most of today’s real estate sites.
Rather than let that history sit dormant, the site has been rebuilt from the ground up as something new: an editorially independent resource for home buyers, sellers, and anyone trying to make sense of the housing market.
Who’s Behind This Site
Mark McFall · Editor & Owner
Not a licensed agent, broker, or financial advisor — and the site doesn’t claim to be a substitute for one. What Mark brings is a long-standing interest in technology and a commitment to a resource that’s useful, honest, and free of the conflicts that come with brokerage affiliation.
Because the site isn’t run by industry insiders, every effort is made to ground its content in primary sources rather than opinion or insider claims. Where the site can’t speak with authority, it says so — and points readers toward the professionals (agents, lenders, attorneys, inspectors) who can.
How We Make Money
PreferredProperties.com is supported through affiliate partnerships, display advertising, and referral relationships with lenders and service providers. When you click certain links — for example, a mortgage rate comparison tool — we may earn a commission if you take an action like requesting a quote. This comes at no additional cost to you.
These partnerships never influence our editorial content. Our guides, calculators, and market analysis are built to be useful regardless of whether a partner link appears on the page. Where affiliate relationships exist, we disclose them clearly.
