I still fascinated when I get actual calls from agents asking me about my listings. I explain we have IDX and there a little confused. It opened a whole world for us Realtors Great reading.

We’ve built our business here at Roost.com based upon the very belief you state that the 80% of consumers searching for real estate online want to look at every listing available in the MLS. No homebuyers want to spend time on a site that is missing information and puts them at a disadvantage. – Drew Izzo, www.Roost.com.

But it was very difficult for me. I heard that some services can publish ads about my home in the Internet. Can you help me to choose between http://fizber.com and http://trulia.com ? Do you know anything about these services? My friend said that "Fizber" better than "Trulia". But maybe he wasn't right. So I need help.

That is why we created our own IDX and lead capture. I disagree that a lead capture loses a bulk of your users. Sure you are going to lose most people that are not really serious and maybe a few that are, but if it is done correctly it can be very effective and result in a lot of sales. We have been doing this at a high level for years and have the analytics to back it up. Nice plug by the way :-) Maybe when we are ready to market ours Drew will let us plug our solution.

This is the best way to loose, alienate and offend your potential clients and website users.

When I used to list a house I would frequently get to refer the seller to an agent in the city they were moving to. A few years ago that changed. They had all already found someone online and didn't need my help any more! That is when I realized the power of the online search. Now 75% of my sales are a direct result of people searching for homes on my website. I couldn’t agree more!
