CarProperty.com is a website that features ads for residential and commercial properties with a strong automotive use component, such has homes with large garages built for car collectors, vehicle storage facilities, commercial space for automotive businesses, motorsport facilities, and parking and garage space.[1]

History

Car Property Group was formed in 2003 by Bob "BC" Cross, a software company owner and high-tech consultant turned real estate agent from Mountain View, California. [2] He created CarProperty.com because he felt “the real estate system for tracking properties ignore[d] garages”.[2][3] CarProperty.com launched in the Beta phase in 2007 and left Beta on June 19, 2008[2][4]

Website features

CarProperty.com's search function allows visitors to look for properties by the number of garage spaces. The site also contains search categories for houses for car collectors, homes with RV parking, indoor parking in urban areas, racetracks, car condos, airplane hangars, and marinas. Visitors can also buy and sell garage-related products, including art, car lifts, equipment, tools, doors, and openers. There is also a section for non-profits that are raffling off collector cars, motorcycles, and other related items. CarProperty.com also has a showcase registry where people can show off their properties without putting them up for sale.[5][6]
