I wanted to look at properties today for my sister, since she is relocating to Ga., and what a nuisance it was trying to get a peek at the pictures of houses she was interested in in the MLS. Quite a few sites asked me for my life history, e-mail address, login id's. So, I left the sites and went to find one that eventually allowed me access to the MLS without doing all the above. :roll:
Do realtors really get that big of a pull of clients from web hits?
I personally would be interviewing realtors if I was looking to purchase a home.
I think if I ever become a realtor, I would focus more on my qualifications vs. making people go through a horse and dance to see what's available in the market. :idontno:

One other think which bothers me about this guy's site is that he features properties which are not his listings without giving credit to the listing agent. In addition, he has a link to his own name beside those listings. In fact, at the top of the page of those listings, it states, "Michael Harbin's Listings." Sounds like trouble to me.
I didn't think there were any "rules" in the Florida RE game.
Ya gotta love the News links on the guy's website though. My personal favorite: "Arson Gives Cash-Strapped Homeowner Hope" :cool:

This is how I know you are not an agent....rules and disclosures is all it is.

Too funny! When I clicked on Florida panhandle, on this link, a news page comes up with the top two headlines being:
Largest Heroin Bust in Walton County
Should the Bible be a textbook in Florida schools?
While that may not seem to strange, let me put Florida panhandle in context for you, from the words of that site:
"Come see what the Florida Panhandle has to offer, from lush beaches to entertainment for the whole family, there is something for everyone. " :floor:
Maybe the whole family needs some Heroin and a Bible. :idontno:
Also very interesting, is the introduction which has a background of NYC-looking skyscrapers for a 30A Realty website.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :lol:

What do the rules say about REALTORS? touting properties as good investments and relaying "return on investment" info for condo/vacation home purchases?

After that 6 days of learning the rules can the students also take the Series 7 exam?
BTW: Florida State law and Federal Securities law prohibits any Real Estate agent from selling property as an investment and giving projections as to future earnings. (I just saved some students one day's worth of classes.)

My city is on www.ezmls.com and I find it very easy navigating. We look all the time! You just put in your zip or county and can narrow the results several different ways.
