Money out, Money in?

By
Real Estate Agent with Dickson Realty

Hello All,

I just read about this site in the March 2007 Realtor.org magazine, so I thought I would give it a try.  My partner and I have been in the RE business for about 4 years now, we are licensed in CA and NV.  I am self employed doing some software development, HTML and Internet Marketing and she is working on getting an Interior Design degree from the University of Reno.

These last couple of years I have noticed that RE Agents can end up spending alot of money on advertising, dues, continuing education, seller's trying to lower the commission rates and buyers wanting the agents to kick in some of their commissions as well.

In a market that has slowed down such as ours, I started looking for ways to cut some costs for me and other realtors.  The only place I found that I could do that was the Internet.  I decided to start building affordable IDX solutions(www.GoSimpleIDX.com).  I have completed IDX Solutions for South Tahoe Association of Realtors, Norther Nevada Association of Realtors, Contra Costa Association of Realtors and I am currently working on Durango Colorado Association of Realtors.

This is my first attempt at a blog here, I will try again in a couple of days. I will start blogging some Internet Marketing Tips as I go, hopefully I can provide some helpful information.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Bradley

Hi Bradley,

Welcome to the ActiveRain Blog network. 
Shortly after I started blogging on Active Rain, I wondered how some features worked or how to do some of the things others were using in their posts. 

I searched the site and could not find the "Operating Manual".

I asked some questions to other bloggers and soon realized the the power was in the network since most questions had already been answered by other users.

If you find yourself in this situation and have some questions, visit the post below and you will find tips, info and many features of ActiveRain that have been documented by other members.

   Instructions, Getting Started on ActiveRain Blog community, Google Ranking, Networking info

Nice having you on board,
Mario
