Hi Casey, Thanks for taking the time to contact me. I apologize for taking so long to respond. I just now gearing up to finish my site. To answer your question, I’m not sure I would use your site. I provide many of the service you offer to my clients. If your client base is FSBO, you may want to add a section helping home owners understand refinancing, short sales and foreclosures and when to ask for help.

Hi Casey, It seems we are on similar paths with our business models. My model is to list FSBO sellers and renters and have a referral service for agents, sellers and buyers. As for agents advertising? I can only think if you can add a service that would take away some of the work they have to do. Alot of them are provided a # of free advertising through their companies but I assume they have to input all the data themselves (I always did). I am still working on my site, just completing the FSBO listings. I have a ton of ideas and I'm trying to find my cores right now to get started. It's always good to have someone to bounce ideas with so feel free to contact me anytime. Best of luck to you.

Happy Birthday Casey! I wish you all the best in your real estate career!

Hey Casey,
I guess I'm not sure what you are looking for. As a business, are you wanting to charge people so they can list their listings on your site, and then you will manage it, and post to the site, etc??? If so I would have to say that most companies, (including mine) offer those services for free. I post my listings to the website, and on my own site. We have automatic postings to Realtor.com, wallstreetjournal.com, longrealty.com, the MLS, we even have a Craigslist ad builder where we click 3 buttons and a great home site is posted. So...in all honesty, I would not use a service like this. I would say that your target audience would need to be SMALL agencies and companies with 50 agents or less, especially in rural areas, but even in big cities where the brokerage does not offer these things...hope this helps and good luck, feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Hey Casey,
For me, the best things that you would display on your website is to tell agents that they can display their listings (but you will list these properties for them), you can upload photos for each of their listings, add virtual tour if they have one, upload video on each listing, or you can add a page for theirselves. In adding a page for each of them, you can add their biography information and add listings to their pages.

We are in resort area so it really wouldn't fly up here... we don't even have mls. I would definately have it receive a feed from some other site like Trulia... we are up to our knees in Real Estate sites and with Flat Fee Mls for FSBO I just don't think there is a need for yet another place to go for information, or even worse to have to enter information.

Hi Casey,
Actually I am a Buyers Agent - so I do not list properties. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.
Best of luck!

Thanks.

I myself would like to find people that are relocating to my area, but I'm not sure how you can target that type of buyer.
