Michael Warren’s Summary
My goal is to create a network of local marketplaces that combine free online classifieds with the hyperlocal focus typically associated with small-town newspapers. Our model for a community marketplace provides full-time local customer service and quality control as well as targeted advertising for small businesses.
We launched Ocala4sale.com in 1998 to serve Ocala and Marion County, Florida. We're currently expanding into Gainesville and other Florida communities.
