I suspect they’re phasing out the printed version – their site said there’s no printed version for San Diego.

Jakob- I think you mean brokers sites. Most real estate photographers don’t have direct access to the MLS. Sure, if all you want is contact information you can get it at the broker sites… easy to get.

But my point is that your BEST PROSPECTS for clients are the top 10% of agents. You want to find out who all the TOP listing agents are. One way is go through all the broker sites and see who has the most listings in various price ranges. H&L is even better it shows you who the very top listing agents are AND who is spending money advertising. You can’t get a better qualified list of agents to market than this!

What’s about just going through the MLS to get agent contact info? Seems even easier.

Claire- You raise a good point that I need to clarify.
What I’m saying here is that the agents that pay big $ to advertise in the hard copy version of H&L are the top agents. And a online version of the hard copy magazine is available to look at on the H&L site.

Yes, all listings and all agents are on the aggregated real estate sites H&L’s online site have all listings but not all listings are in the magazine.

I’m talking about the magazine.

This is only a partial truth that the top selling agents are in homes and land online and other printed real estate advertising online. In some cases these listings are fed from a real estate broker office and some are fed directly from Mls and not from the individual agent, so the agent is not paying extra for this. Unfortunately many printed real estate business are not doing well at least not in my area. Claire

I’ve always used the For Sale Listings magazines for agent sources. These mags are all pretty expensive to list in, and most agents who are in the mags is an agent who knows the magazines value and will spend the money needed to advertise their properties – a good candidate for virtual tour marketing. Its good to learn the H & L agents are higher $$$ agents! Thanks for the info.

Do you guys think anything similar exist for the European market? I was doing a quick research some time ago but no success…
