This is all just my opinion. Trying to be of help...

Title:
The first couple of words in your "Title" is the name of your website. You could get just as much mileage by placing that name at the end of your "Title." This would better optimize the "Title" for your target keywords/phrases.

In general, the "Title" in many of the pages I viewed didn't appear to be SEO'd.

Keywords:
I was schooled that every page targeted a specific keyword/phrase. You have more than a few keyword/phrases in this section.

H1:
The content of your H1 seems out of place. The rest of the page looks so well designed and then there is this lonely text at the top.

I don't know what keyword/phrase you are targeting but the H1 seems to cover more than one.

There is no first paragraph for the H1. The text starts at H3.

Images:
These two images along are huge. I didn't check the others. You might consider compressing some of your files.
  • h-t-t-p://www.hiperprop.com/images/toplogo.jpg size=22593
  • h-t-t-p://www.hiperprop.com/images/pmonth4.jpg size=18821

Validation:
I only checked the front page but it didn't validate. It actually had quite a few issues. You might check into that. Clean code always helps.

Navigation:
Site Map News: Seemed very unorganized.
Site Map: This is more of a listings map. You might consider changing the name.
Site Map2: Not user friendly at all.
News Database: This seems more like a site map than a news map.
Link with Us: When I followed the link I was rewarded with a blank page. h-t-t-p://www.hiperprop.com/links/default.asp >Information on adding your web site to our Link Directory >Blank Page

BTW, is that an Open Realty fork?

Open Realty is an open source program for inventory/listing management. You can see it in action on this site.

Your program is very similar.

I forgot one more thing.

Your server doesn't seem to be forwarding h-t-t-p://hiperprop.com/ to h-t-t-p://www.hiperprop.com/

If you ever switch over to an Apache Server you can add this code to your .htaccess file and it will take care of the redirect for you.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.hiperprop\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.hiperprop.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I don't know anything about the server you are currently on [Microsoft-IIS/5.0]. You might might be able to configure this through your control panel.

Best regards.

Yes it sits on IIS, but I do not admin that server, we have another box where I do have admin access and am looking at transferring it there in the near future.

Thanks again for your helpful crit.
