In the never ending quest to find new and useful tools to Blog about, and to share with REALTORS® all across the Country, I thought it might be useful to list some of the Top sites I have discovered over this past year. If you’re a “Techy” like me, then you understand the time and effort we invest looking for, testing, and reporting back about these Industry related sites, tools, products and services. Take a look at some of the these that are available online, and in most cases, at no cost.

There are so many sites that we Real Estate Industry Tech “Geeks” come across on a daily basis. It’s difficult at times to sift through the ones that are just cool, versus those that truly bring value to you and your online business. Some of these have been around for a while proving themselves to be competitive and valued in the marketplace, while others are somewhat new, and still trying to withstand the test of time.
- Stumble it!

Add GoldMail.com to your list for a quick and easy way to send personal messages using your voice recorded over images and presentations.

Tom - does Goldmail have video capabilities? I previewed the demo and didn’t see that option. I’m wondering if it is comparable to the HELLOWORLD concept and product?

Here’s another great site I forgot to mention.
I know there have been many posts written about them, and I have personally seen them dominate the marketing side over on twitter, and that’s RealEstateShows.com.
You can tell them I sent you…
