San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) January 29, 2007 -- In an attempt to make sense of the budding market for online rental property services, Inman News, a top authority in the real-estate industry, announced its list of the top 10 key influencers who are likely to make crucial gains within the next year. The list includes the usual suspects - Sherry Chris, Michael Good, and Robert Schiller - as well as some exciting new additions like John Helm, founder and CEO of MyNewPlace™.
