One of the most effective methods that I use for marketing homes for sale is to use online classified sites such as Craigslist, Backpage, Inetgiant and Kijiji.

I've recently added another free classified site to the long list that I use and it's getting great results. The site is called iSell.com. Whether you are looking to buy or sell something (Real Estate or otherwise) have a look at iSe ...

I'm not sure what has been happening with my computers lately but I seem to have had a run of bad luck; hard drive crashes, failures and other problems. Even worse than that, the company that I use for all of my professional real estate photography, virtual tours, signs, business cards etc had their computer server crash last week too...all data lost. Ugh.

With all of the trouble that I'v ...

I have some domain names available for sale. Suitable for Realtors, Mortgage Brokers or anyone else in the Real Estate business in the Fraser Valley. I registered all of these with the intention of using them myself but I've decided not to use them any longer.

I just found this free tool to help with submitting your website to multiple web directories (one way text links).

If you have a website and would like to rank higher in Google, check it out. I've just signed up now. Let's see if their promisses of improved ranking come true : )

Here's a great blog I just discovered that's devoted to helping you choose and promote your website URL. The URL is the name between the "www." and the ".com" if you are wondering. The blog is called Good URL Bad URL. Lots of interesting stuff. I can already see a couple of improvements that I can make to mine.

As a Realtor, I work from different locations all of the time. Sometimes I'm at home, other times I'm at the office, or even working from the local coffee shop. A large part of my business is done via fax and email. To help with this, I signed up with a virtual fax company that allows me to send and receive faxes directly from my email. It's cheap, very easy to use and I even get a toll ...

So far, I like the way that Backpage functions, the site is clean and easy to use. It looks like they cover most of the US and Canada and I read on their blog that they are constantly adding new cities.

Now, not only will I be using Craigslist to market my listings for sell ...
