I’ve seen 3 demo sites using Diverse Solutions IDXpress as the idx in a responsive theme. Problem is, it doesn’t render correctly and cuts off the most important information. What am I missing here webmasters? It doesn’t work

Help me out.. I am testing a few things… What would you change on this page if you could.. What would you add if you could.. What would you do better on this page… I know it is missing a quick search but that is a design flaw that I have to get adjusted…

Could we agree on something worthwhile to get upset about? This guy is getting screwed. http://actvra.in/RLz

Wow. Breaking news. Trulia aquires Market Leader for $355 million! Thoughts? Good move? http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/08/trulia-to-buy-market-leader/

I’ve noticed in some other posts that people talk about calling an office to schedule showings. Doesn’t everyone in the world use a cell phone for business by now? I mean, do you stop working at 5? I don’t use my office number for ANYTHING. To schedule showings, I take calls, texts and e-mails. I’d [...]

I understand it’s not kosher to talk about other listings while conducting an open house. That being said, it must be SUPER frustrating to be a buyer so interested in buying you show up to an open, only to be told “I can’t talk about any other homes”. I do not believe for one second [...]

Just wanted to give everyone a quick report about the Zillow Conference today in Irvine. It is worth your time to go if they host one in your city! Lots of new tools being unveiled today. CEO was gracious enough to listen to some ideas I had a truly took an interest in feedback from [...]

I could use your help/advice… I recently recruited an agent and closed the deal with the promise of paying their tuition for the Buffini Peak Producer course I am facilitating. Over the weekend my office admin forwarded me an email from this agent that they accidentally sent to our office instead of their old office. [...]

I just signed up w/ smart zip with where they market to the top 20% of the most likely to sell in any given geographic area based on a couple hundred criteria. I find this fascinating and can’t wait to see the results. Has anyone else used them in this group?

As I predicted in a comment yesterday, here’s more prognostication on the next wave of new agents into the business… http://agbeat.com/business-news/realtor-income-rises-25-prepare-for-a-wave-of-n00bs/

I’m always confused by what we can and cannot discuss without running afoul of “anti-price fixing” regulations. I ask because, for example, many brokers openly publish their commission splits on their company websites, and include such information in email blasts which overflow my inboxes. So, experts on this topic, can commission splits be discussed publicly [...]

If your Broker offered to pay for any technology on your behalf what would you them ask for? Website, leads, CRM, paperless, etc…

I don’t have the most current stats, but the last time (two or three years ago) I saw a significant study done by a major association (Chicago) on this topic, something like 73% of all agents (in that area) were part-timers. Assuming these stats are still vaguely correct, how does that impact professionalism in real [...]

Do you still see value in broker opens/agent luncheons? I realize this will vary from area to area, but we’ve been pondering how others experiences are with them at my office recently. Would love to hear some opinions and thoughts from the group.

Got a phone call from a homeowner at 8pm Saturday evening that the buyer agent accessed the lockbox and was entering the property. We are one week before closing and the agent stated they did not need any appointment to come into the residence at that time since there is a lockbox. As seller agent, [...]

This mornings real estate news. http://activerain.com/blogsview/3719894/market-leader-to-be-acquired-by-trulia

Showing my own listing to a buyer tomorrow who saw it when it was listed previously with that listing agent. They have no buyer agency with them any agent and are very interested in the property. I instructed them on my single representation of the seller and instructed them to contact prior agent. They flatly [...]

I’m actually watching this. Will you? Blackberry’s LAST chance at relevancy starts now… Let’s chat about what we like and don’t like below. http://new.livestream.com/cnet/blackberry10

Dotloop is better than Docusign because _______

I’m moving to a new city. Here’s how I’ll find my new agent: [1] I’ll go on Twitter and Tweet that I’m moving, and I will ask people who live in that city for recommendations (and I’ll use zip-code-specific searches to target people that I know live in that city to make that process more [...]

Let’s talk lead conversion! – I just finished a phone call with one of my brokerages that has fantastic rankings (LEC) and tons of leads for their market (just under 2000) – however their agents aren’t working the leads being assigned and so their numbers are terrible! (under 5 deals closed) – I looked at [...]

I’ve been paid $1,000 for selling a house. And I’ve been paid $75,000 for selling a house. In both instances, I did almost exactly the same amount of work, and provided the same relative quality of service. In general, does this make sense?

This is purposely NOT a tech forum, so please forgive me for violating my own rules, but my curiosity has the best of me, so here goes: Does anyone still use a Blackberry? Second question: If you don’t use a Blackberry, will you even take the time to check out the new smartphone they just [...]

$99 dollars and that is it? What’s the catch? Anyone using it?
