Zillow is in place

We just came on line today with our newly empowered site. No really dramatic appearance changes for those of you have visited before, but oh boy! under the hood. Most exciting of course is the fully integrated access within our site to the massive data base of zillow.com. No links, no messing about. Just type in your search address and up pops your data. Some elements of zillow are still not available since this thing is still in beta, but as they're added for us we'll incorporate them for you. Some cautionary notes for you. Zillow is very, very good and amazingly accurate most of the time, however use the data provided as a guide and not as carved in stone, and always in conjunction with a more formal Comparative Market Analysis provided by a knowledgeable local real estate agent if you're going to base a financial decision on the figures. With that caution it still offers a valuable addition to your own knowledge base of your current or proposed property. An assurance for you about the use of this site. At no time will this company attempt to collect, retrieve, or store data about your visit, nor will we contact you except in response to your request.
We're still in the announcing stages of our cash back program for buyers, the major ads won't break until the 24th & 25th, but we're hearing some of the sounds of discontent from our fellow real estate folks already. Small wonder I guess since it seems only logical to seek out the full service professional willing to give you half of their commission just for using their services instead of someone else's. I think I'm supposed to say "give you an amount equal to 50% of their commission". The obvious disclaimer here is that we don't give you anything if you buy one of our listed properties, after all we only charge $4995 for the entire process so the savings are already built in. There are well over 1000 other properties listed in our market area so you really can't miss. Buy one of ours with no fat built in or buy one of the others and we'll give you 1/2 the fat. We'll soon give you a pdf guide for sellers on the site. No big deal really, but sometimes in the trauma of scheduling a move or the disruption of normalcy a little reminder might suggest something that enhances your property in the eye of the prospective buyer. We want our site to be a trusted destination for sellers and buyers alike so if you have any suggestion for information that would be helpful, please let us know, on the blog, email, phone, whatever is comfortable. Let us know if you enjoy the zillow addition.
