Do you have "enhanced listings" on http://www.realtor.com/? (Annual cost will vary depending on how many listings you have at the time of signing up.)
If so, you probably don't know you can have all of your listings posted on http://www.worldproperties.com/ for FREE !
WorldProperties.com is a website sponsored by NAR and similar international real estate organizations. Realtor.com supplies the property descriptions to WorldProperties.com (it actually frames the Realtor.com webpage but only shows those listings which have been authorized to appear on WorldProperties.com by the listing agent.) The listings of properties around the world are provided by the other international real estate organizations like NAR.
The catch is, they don't tell you that you have to CALL http://www.realtor.com/ customer service and ask them to authorize your listings to appear on http://www.worldproperties.com/ It takes 24 hours for them to appear. My guess is huge amount of Realtor.com customers have no idea this additional benefit is available to them! My guess is they [Realtor.com] doesn't want to receive phone calls from all of their customers every time they get a new listing!
Unfortunately they don't have a setting for all of your listings to automatically appear on http://www.worldproperties.com/ So each time you get a new listing you need to call customer service (once it appears on the Realtor.com website) and authorize them to post it on WorldProperties.com
This is another listing tool you can use! Tell any prospective seller their home will appear on WorldProperties.com and to check to see if the other agent(s) mention this in their listing presentation. Again, 99.9% of the other agents won't even know about the availability of this valuable service.
The toll-free number for Realtor.com customer service is 800-878-4166 Then choose option #1. Their hours are 9AM to 9PM (EST.)
Hope this helps you and your sellers!
