I was on Rismedia today and noticed a new section, for their TOP 5. It seems to be a new membership group. You fill out an application stating you qualify as one of the top agents in your area, pay $2200 and send in your app.

 

Here's the link:

There's more info on rismedia's site. $2200 seems mighty steep to join the "club." Especially in this market.

I did a search on AR and found one agent who's advertising she's in the Top 5. Nobody else...

I'd love to see AR feedback on this ... click through to rismedia to see what I'm talking about.

Maureen Francis was asking if anyone had blogged about this yesterday... on an old Rismedia post of mine.

Erica - Interesting.  I wonder if in this day and age where you have Twitter, Active Rain, Trulia, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc for Networking opportunities... if this bang is worth the buck.  I'd be curious to hear from actual members.

Wow...just a little steep...!  Guess we'll have to waatch and see what kind of success membership in this particular club will bring.

Well there you go with that price, yikes! Anyone can say they are a percentage of anything and not pay! You can be in the top 1% on AR and not pay, you can pull up your MLS stats and find out you are the XXX% in your market. Save the $2200.

Lyn--that's my gut reaction. And the criteria doesn't seem to difficult to qualify. You get some marketing materials, but I already have my own.

Amy--Just a little steep? YES!

Jason & Maureen--Hoping someone will chime in if they're doing this.

Seems like a high price to pay. In this market you can get a lot of bang for your blogging time and save on these types of costs...

Don't you just love it when people post comments on blog posts that are over a year old :-)

I got to wondering this morning what the cost was for the Top 5 thing.... so I searched here on AR and found my answer.  Naw, I think I can get more bang for my marketing buck elsewhere.

Just think how much exposure you'd get with $2,200 invested in a Google AdWords campaign.

I love it when people leave comments on old posts.  I wonder how many did the Top 5 thing...
