It should come as no surprise that every real estate professional needs a "web presence".

Yet I hear comments all the time like:

"A web site is too much hassle"
"Everyones got a website. So what?"
"I've had a website for years and never gotten a sale out of it."

To those comments, and others like them I say, "Bullhockey"!

The NAR tells us 78% of all home buyers start their search for a home, and usually an agent, on the Internet.

So like it or not, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. If you want to succeed, you MUST have a website.

I've tried a couple of site providers that shall (for now) remain nameless. A year and a half ago, I settled on Point 2 Agent as my website provider. And I haven't looked back since.

What does Point 2 have to offer?

The "NLS" - National Listing System. List your homes and "share" them across all other Point 2 sites, plus those little know websites like Google Base, Yahoo, and many more. And share them AUTOMATICALLY. You just load 'em up in your Point 2 site, check a few boxes and *POOF*, Point 2 syndicates them to a slew of other websites.

Superior customer service.

An active user community with free (and excellent) support, help, and ideas.

A Contact Management System - drip emails, records of listings viewed, and more.

A blogging platform. WAY simpler to set up than a WordPress or Typepad blog. It's on your domain name, so any content posted to it helps YOUR domain.

Free training on Point 2 as well as free "seminars" with leading industry experts.

RELiberation - a community blogging platform.

RSS feeds and Google Maps for your listings.

And more. Much much more. Too much to list! For more info on the various levels of membership Point 2 provides, click here.

Not convinced? Try out Point 2 Agent for FREE. Yes, free. 100% no cost, no obligation. (some of the features listed above are not available with the free level. But you can try out the Professional level that DOES include all of the above for two weeks for free.)

Seriously folks, it's worth checking out. Even if you already have a website, grab a Point 2 free level site and get those listings out there! Build a niche site for free to compliment your main site. Are you a broker?
