Brokers are concerned about third party quasi-MLS systems using their listings to take away eyeballs (so that they can sell them right back), yet they allow these listings, which diminish the value of their REALTOR(r) owned MLS.

Are those products really reliable? I found it interesting when I watched the advertisement but want to know if they really work.<br /> </p> I’ve heard about John Beck on the television talking about his products.

I have been so reluctant to do that as the SERP has been good and lots of work to get it there.

But, it is just old school.

In designing my new site, I have Search the MLS, front and center. Community Information, and Market Reports.

Keeping it simple, this was a great confirmation for me.

Yes, sellers are often hoodwinked into believing that your personal website gets a ton of traffic (come on, we know most don't get much if any!), and it's good to appease sellers by making their property featured somewhere on your site, but so many still devote the majority of their home page to THEIR listings.

For the hundredth time… ITS NOT ABOUT YOU!

They didn't get it. People don't care what the brand name is, they don't care that we service a huge area. They only care to see what they want homes for sale in the area they care about.

If you get sent to a website to find listings that you have to click three times before searching, you're going to find somewhere else to go and that click is lost.

It's the brokers that get this that are going places.
