Rick,
You are right- the average agent won’t bother with a property site or quality photography. Only the top producers understand the importance of quality marketing… that’s why they are the top producers. This is exactly why 20% of the Realtors make 80% of the $.

Does anyone know how much this costs? Custom websites like this are pretty expensive. The average real estate agent probably wont use something like this.

I don’t know what all the bad talk is about http://www.Realtor.com. Can anyone dispute, it is the offical website of the NRA isn’t it? What alternative do Realtors have? Where else can you get National exposure to local MLS listings? Zillow is pretty great. But they aren’t totally National yet. For example, I can’t find anything on Zillow for sale in places like Akeley, MN. But I can find a ton of stuff on Realtor.com.

I am sooooo glad that I don’t have to deal with Realtor.com. Total scam. It’s not really big in my area.

The ability to post tours to Realtor.com is a huge deal in my area. Almost every agent that I do work for asks to have their tours posted there! I stumbled across a Hometour360Network that hosts all of my tours, and they are Picture Path providers, so I can get all of my tours posted to Realtor.com for $6.00 (Showcase) and $24.00 (Non-Showcase). I give my agents the option to post the tour to Realtor.com or not, and of course, they pay the additional fee that I am charged by Hometour360Network. The nice thing about this hosting company is that they only charge an initial fee of $250.00, and there are never any additional fees other than those charged in connection with posting the tour to Realtor.com. So, for an initial fee of $250.00, I get unlimited lifetime hosting with no additional fees. For me, it is a win-win situation.

That cooltours was almost painful to watch. I don’t know what was worse, all the movement or the lousy exposure!

Well, here is a picture path tour from realtor.com:

http://www.cooltoors.com/130

It has all sorts of links… doesn’t appear to be any significant restrictions.

As an agent Realtor.com is becoming more valuable as my broker begins charging referrals for leads generated by his website. Without the dependence on Realtor.com I would think that a buyer of the marketing package would assume the Realtor.com compatibility. Maybe not though, the last time I checked a picture path license was $5,000 so you need to do some websites for that expense. I only bring it up because they offer a really good option, but I have too many clients that need the Realtor.com exposure. I was wondering if there were any restrictions on Picture Path partners regarding the formatting of the photos. I notice that they do not display URLS in any of the tours, some kind of restriction that would control the content, as in the advertising of third parties?
