Thread: I have added

2 more sections, I want visitors to be able to list their homes for sale. You guys can do as well. What do you think?

Great idea if the forum can attract some buyers and sellers. We would just need to target some of the search phrases for the members here and their markets..IMHO

Interesting idea. I found that there are more and more buyers out there going to places like craiglist.com to search for homes. In fact, 2 of my buyers last week went to craiglist and found their own dream homes. Luckily they contacted me to do the contractual part. We'll probably need to arrange it by cities for the home for sale section to attract buyers.

anything that increases traffic is a good thing

Max said it best. I've noticed so many listings on craigs list now. Its funny how much the internet really does for everyone.

There are sites now that specialize in helping you post onto sites like craiglists. They offer nicely formatted pages to help you stand out from the crowd.

For a list of them visit www.realpinions.com and look for the category on On-Line Posting Services.

Craig's list can also be used to drive traffic to your own sites. Just add the URL's to your listings. Also good as a one-way link to your sites.

As it is now with all these websites using the IDX of Homeseekers is pretty stale merchandise asit stands now. That is supposed to be updated every 3 days. Could be a big job that makes billions in revenue or refered to as missleading and old information, once in a while a deal.?? What is your goal to list properties for what kind of consideration?

I always go in with the intention of/and the listing agreement pre-filled with 7-8%. It is amazing what that alone will do for your average %. While you may bot get the full % on the agreement, your conversation - after your "marketing consultation" is much stronger. Of course, you must have a "custom marketing plan for that specific home in that specific neighborhood in today's selling market."

All the best,

What happened to the other MLS where it had all the listings Multiple with new homes in there too. Now for a small fee you can have that mls on your site too. And as everyone rushes to be the first on there site to offer the new (tomatoe) all the links you add to your site makes the one being added a reputable site there by promoting a company that charges twice for the original service promised. BYT it is called the brandnewmls "where is the stroke key ahh...///
