Hi Nate,
Yes, I looked over your website and I liked the calender format. That's easy for me to understand versus just a list and folders etc. I do have a "resources" or "helpful links" page where we promote vendor products for the property management industry. Your services would be perfect under "Property management software". If you'd like to be added we just request that you place an inbound link to propertymanagementprofile.com using either an anchot text link "Find Property Management Companies" or "Property Management Directory" pointing to our home page. We also have a our banner ad (one displayed on LTPM). Let me know if interested.
