"To Force or Not to Force...that Is the Question!"
I have set my website both ways and am satisfied that requiring registration right away is not as good as using the teaser method.
We allow them to look at any basic property description. If they want details and/or the address, they need to register. I have heard that is like going to one of those gentlemen's clubs... teasing with something gets them wanting to see it all.
On the other hand,if they like the quality and information you offer on your site, we have had them register just to do any search. The main thing is to get them to register at some point along the path.
Whether or not to register and/or at what point to register can be debated forever depending on an agent's success with one or the other.
Alot has been written regarding giving viewers all the info, while others say just some info. I can tell you this, I use to give away all the info, and never got anyone registering...why should they, I was giving away the cow. When I changed over to a teaser, then they started to register and I had actual humans I could speak to.
I would be interested to see what you guys think.
