Just a reminder to REALTORs, when speaking to a website vendor make sure you know the difference between a visit and an absolute unique visitor. A single person might be responsible for hundreds of visits. Also make sure when someone shows you their SEO that they are logged out from Google. Saw someone today say that another vendor had them at the top, when I showed them logged out they were on page 3!

REALTORS : Is anyone else concerned with the fact that NAR drives how REALTOR should always be capitalized but the new logo for REALTOR.com is all lower case?

Realtors: A quick tip. If you send out a message from your email to your entire MLS / Association database of agents and many people mark your message as spam (i.e. you send a property flyer that they didn't request), it's likely your clients will not receive your message. They will probably go into their spam folder. Also if you're sending bulk please make sure to follow the CANSPAM laws.

Jay Thompson - Wondering the rationale behind Zillow having the new version of the site open to the bottom of the page instead of the top? Care to shed any light?

It's unfortunate that even though I spend upwards of 10 hours a week helping people in this group, and that I often mention and recommend other products, and that we work our rear ends off to provide the best services possible - that other vendors would flat out lie to our clients knowing full well their statements were a lie. #unscrupulous

Ilya Zobanov - yup I love it. It's great for looking up things and especially great for looking back through this and other groups don't you think?

There will almost certainly be a Google maps coming, but the new iOS maps does a pretty good job with Flyover maps in 3d. There are quite nice if you haven't seen them. Plus remember you can download Google Earth too...

Steven Knapp - SHHH SnapEngage has a secret hidden FREE plan! For most Realtors just the one account for them is all they need. http://il.snapengage.com/plans-all/

The only thing I can think of really is Photoshop / Indesign. But other than that, you can do almost everything!

Lee Stiber We just launched a brand new competitor to those guys. It's about 1/5th the price and does the exact same things! More importantly- our ad program is based around generating leads instead of spending your budget. We had one client get 11 leads with a $48 ad spend! Here's a link but if you're interested in taking a look just fill out a form and someone can give you a demo: http://www.tribusgroup.com/real-estate-lead-generation/

Kendyl, if I was to build a real estate site for myself you can bet it would have search on it. However, I also think there are times when you can get away without it. The IDX product we created when I was at M Realty had a WAY better search feature built into the backend of the platform that sent out notifications the minute something matching your search hit the MLS (or hourly, daily, weekly, etc depending on your set preference). I could see creating a very niche site that had superior neighborhood content setup as a lead capture site (as in "contact me and I'll setup the best listing notification system you've ever seen for you")... But, that sounds like a lot of work, so I doubt many people would go that far.

Hi Suzanne. Thank you for the referral. I already spoke with Eric's guy and the wheels are in motion. Btw, Eric, super nice guy. My parents are going to love me more than my older brother now.
