Metroscubicos and SecondSpace Partner to Bring Mexico's Largest Selection of Vacation Homes, Resort Homesites and New Developments to Buyers and Investors

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2008) - Inman Real Estate Connect -- Metroscubicos, the leading real estate Web site in Mexico, and SecondSpace, Inc., the global online marketplace for second homes and recreational retreats, today announced that more than 22,000 lifestyle property listings from Metroscubicos -- representing every hot spot across Mexico -- have been added to the SecondSpace™ Lifestyle Property Network. These listings are now available to U.S., Canadian and overseas buyers through SecondSpace's flagship ResortScape.com and LandWatch.com Web sites as well as its network of more than 30 international and co-branded online properties.

"As young families, Baby Boomers and retirees seek out hot spots with sunshine, pristine beaches, watersports, golf, entertainment and other amenities, Mexico's connection to cities in Canada, the U.S., Western Europe and Latin America makes the country a favorite choice for those looking to get away from it all," said Heberto Taracena, CEO of Metroscubicos, a Time Warner Company. "Our partnership with SecondSpace allows us to promote the world's largest selection of properties for sale in Mexico to a worldwide audience of second home buyers and investors visiting ResortScape.com and LandWatch.com."

SecondSpace's ResortScape.com and LandWatch.com Web sites leverage the power of the company's highly scalable "semantic Web" platform which includes a unique natural language search engine; region-, lifestyle- and amenity-based navigation and filtering; a proprietary behavioral targeting engine; and an intelligent listings switch that syndicates properties to the appropriate site based on highly sophisticated algorithms.

"Given its position as the leader in online real estate in Mexico, Metroscubicos is the authoritative source of vacation homes, new developments and in-city luxury properties from Riviera Maya to the Baja Peninsula," said Anil H.P. Pereira, founder and CEO of SecondSpace. "Adding Metroscubicos' listings from every second home hot spot in Mexico to our ResortScape.com and LandWatch.com Web sites gives us the selection our customers are looking for -- enabling them to find their perfect family retreat, luxury beach home, investment property or retirement haven."
