real estate: Finally A Good News Real Estate Article!!
- 03/29/08 04:18 AM
Wow! Finally an article talking about real estate in a positive way! Opportunity abounds for some people. An article in the Boston Globe talks about keeping the real estate opportunities on Cape Cod quiet. The author is trying to find a house to buy and she doesn't want to compete with others going over the bridge. It is a long time coming, but the tide of reporting may be changing! I have been making offers for buyers for months now. Other agents report they are showing more homes and getting more under agreement. There are some slow price ranges, but there … (3 comments)
real estate: Zil low Target Practice / Listings or Programmers?
- 03/28/08 01:29 AM
One of the most technical web techs from Zi llow was drafted into the military. While at boot camp he went to the rifle range where he was given some instructions, handed a rifle, and a couple rounds of ammo. He loaded the rifle and fired several shots at the target. The report of his in-accuracy came from the target area. All of his attempts had completely missed the target. The tech looked at his rifle, and then at the target. He looked at the rifle again, and then once more at the target. He placed his finger over the end … (14 comments)
real estate: 5 Monkeys - Why Real Estate Agents Are Willing To Give Their Listings Away
- 03/21/08 09:58 AM
5 Monkeys - Why Real Estate Agents Are Willing To Give Their Listings Away." Here is an explanation of the why agents aren't more concerned with giving their listings away: Five monkeys were put in an enclosure with a ladder. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder. After some time, no monkey dared to go up the ladder, regardless of the temptation. The scientists then decided to substitute one … (10 comments)
real estate: I just got my TradeMark Approved! REIndex.com, The Site Engine(sm)
- 03/13/08 01:44 AM
REindex.com, The Site Engine(sm) has been approved as my Trademark/Servicemark for my website! I have been quietly building this web portal for 8 years to help any listing agent get found by directly linking to their site whether they request it or not. I even paid 5 teenagers last summer to review real estate pages for me so we could link to more sites more quickly. I am a listing agent and became frustrated with all the sites that compete for search engine results with me and the other listing agents in my town. Most of the sites that the search engines show are lead … (0 comments)
real estate: Why don't other MLSs follow the actions of the NWMLS?
- 03/08/08 04:30 AM
I have been talking to agents and brokers all over the country over the last few months and I am amazed that no one knows about the NWMLS's decision to stop feeding their listings to sites like Rltr dot com. It may be that everyone is so busy in their market that they don't read what is happening in the industry. Or it could be that most "news" rss feeders are advertising driven and they don't want to bite their advertiser's hands. Or it could be that the managers and staff in the offices of the MLSs are not operating … (0 comments)
real estate: Real Estate agents add "Instant Value Buttons" to their sites.
- 03/29/07 08:06 AM
Why real estate agents are adding things like "value estimating buttons" to their web pages. For a short time, some of the large "display" and "lead generation" real estate sites have tried to reduce valuing a home to a programmers equation. The surfer enters an address or some other identifying data, and voila! - a value appears. Unfortunately the value is often very incorrect. So, why are real estate agents adding "Value Estimator" buttons to their pages? The addition of this type of "resource" to agent web pages is inevitable. As technology evolves and as agents learn more about how to use technology … (6 comments)
