Free is the word... Syndicate Your Real Estate Listings...

To start off please do me a fav and subscribe to my blog pretty please. I would add a link, however AR has it coded funny so you've got to do it yourself and click the "Subscribe To Blog" link that is right above your picture as you're viewing this post.

7 Ways to Syndicate Your Real Estate Listing With so many buyers turning to the Internet to shop overland park real estate and of course the rest of the U.S too, getting your listings in front of them couldn't be easier. There are many website solutions to choose from when it comes to posting your listings online. Many of these sites provide a comprehensive suite of products and services in order to better market your listings online (i.e. listing flyers/ads, virtual tours, mini-websites, blogs, etc.). Spend less time recreating everything, when you can create it once and share it in several formats while also getting the info you want in front of your potential buyers! But don't take my word for it, check out a few of the following ways you can syndicate your listings for yourself. Keep in mind that not all aggregated websites reach the same audience, so be wise before posting your listing. Are you really reaching out to the right demographic?

As of the CAR 06-07 Internet Vs. Traditional Buyer Report, the share of Internet Buyers (those who use the Internet as a significant part of the home buying process) reached 70% in 2006. Many have estimated this percentage closer to 90%.

vFlyer.com
A one stop shop for creating, promoting, and distributing classified real estate listings. Their easy-to-use interface allows you enter information in quickly and get your listings out to Google Base, Edgeio, Oodle, Vast.com, Trulia, PropSmart and others! Other highlights include: Built-in tracking for ads, cut and paste ready to use HTML into Craigslist and eBay, embed your ads into your blog or website via their slick widget, and generate PDF files you can email or print. vFlyer also includes social bookmarking and Yahoo maps. Example Example Widget

Postlets.com
Postlets make it fast and easy for just about anyone to create a real estate ad like a pro. Utilize drop down menus of standard features to walk you through the process of creating your elegant listing ad. Your listings will be automatically sent to Oodle, Google Base, Trulia, Backpage, Propsmart, Edgeio, Vast, and other classifieds search engines. Postlets also includes a small Google Map for aerial and satellite views. Once your ad is complete Postlets will generates HTML code for posting ads on Craigslist and LiveDeal. You can also use the code for your blog or email newsletter (although it's not quite as slick as vFlyer's widget). Example

RealBird.com
RealBird, known for their map based-search, will syndicate your listing to Google Base, Google Blog Search, Edgeio.com, Oodle.com, Lycos, IceRocket, Vast and Technorati when you make a listing flyer using RealBird Publisher.

I saw the article too, and credited them properly. I did not see you had done the same. But if you look back this is something I research and post on regularly. So if you syndicate a post of someone else's don't call it stealing when it gets posted other places. After all isn't that the point in syndication. Spreading the word farther. Is the intent to get a few points I don't need, or to deliver on my promise to keep my local associates apprised as to the best ways to get some things done? Let's not forget what AR is about!

Thanks Jordon for including our site http://www.classifiedflyerads.com in your list. We are working on adding more templates, will be adding some more cool adlets very soon and will be adding even more directories we feed to. Keep a watch out for some big updates/additions in the next couple of weeks.

Since it's been a while from your original post thought i'd mention splaht! really good if you have your listing on a site that you'd rather promote instead of one of the template sites (like your own website for instance). you just bookmark the page with the listing on it to splaht.com and it gets posted to the same sites like trulia , vast , oodle , google base, etc.
