We spend a good chunk of our dues on the MLS systems. We all pay them, and some of us get to help pick them out. BUT, I've not seen a lot of discussion about which ones are the best, what the good features are, what works well Our board uses Fidelity and Paragon 4 (they just upgraded to 4). Fi

I was reading someone else's blog: name withheld 'cause I'm chicken. Raging debate, then an entry about someones comments being removed. Guilt for sharing agreement, I'm sorry floating around, anger at having been removed, who knows. I LOVE THE DEBATE. Argue with me, let me make a point, counte

I've done things well. Page 1 on Google for 12 terms or so. Lots of traffic, and 9% capture of email. Set them up on a drip, and 50% or so open the drips. I have new listings sent to buyers. Works well, and lots of them open the email with listings. All good right? We should be rolling in

Hands Down. Best for the money. Works for Broker based, publishes All Over the place. Easy for agents to use. Love the cost, constantly getting updated. I love Real Estate Shows from a company point of view... BUT: I have very high photo standards, and a few agents that want more. They say

I saw this sign ALL OVER a town in California. Not far from LA. I wanted to ask how they got away with this. My memory tells me that once a payment is advertised, this "triggers" disclosure of terms. I came home, and looke up Reg Z (Truth in lending). Clearly - advertising a payment requires

"Hold the Pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us". I still remember this song. I recognize the Logo, and I can't tell you the last time I ate at Burger King. I think they're a fine burger and all, I just don't go out of my way to eat there. Ever!! I'm not saying Branding isn

I've asked this before, but I still struggle. I've written at least 3 SEO guru's from AR, and no response. I'm starting to think there is NO ANSWER!! I rank well in Google. Page 1 for 10 or so keywords. No position greater than 6. I know that Google is king - 68% or more of all searches wor

The year is 1995. November, I've been a Realtor for 9 months, and made $6000. Our average home price today is $115,000, so I'm guessing maybe $90,000 back then? And I had worked around some 40K to 50K houses. Friend of my Wife, he wants to buy a $250k-300k home. Hot dog. Now I'm going to ma

I had an important reminder yesterday: I was on a new home subdivision, quoting prices I had been asked to get from the builder. How much to cover the deck, how much to add zoned heating and air. I quoted the prices and watched the customers jaw drop. TOO HIGH. Not what she wanted at all FLA
