Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
- Why did you create this site?
We believe that networking is the key to success in today's real estate industry. Although there are other networking sites out there, we wanted to create one that was dedicated just to REALTORSŪ and had virtually every tool and is easy to find what you need. We have organized it in two ways: 1) We created several networking arenas, depending on what you want to talk about and how you like to communicate, and 2) we categorized all of the members/resources, in a way that makes it easy to find them. Whether or not members choose to actively network through the Blog, Forum, or Message Board, their link to their website is easy to find. You can also learn more on the ABOUT US page.

- Can all real estate agents add their link or is this site just for REALTORSŪ?
Our site is dedicated to REALTORSŪ because they are pledged to a code of ethics and Standards of Practice, which includes duties to clients and customers, the public, and other Realtors. We hold members in the highest regard and created this site specifically for members of NAR. You will be required to identify the association you are a member of upon registration and membership will be verified before you registration is complete.

- Is there a difference between being a USER & being a MEMBER?
Yes! Signing up as a user gives you unlimited access to the entire site. All we ask for is your name and then you create your user name (email address) and password. A member takes one additional step by giving us their website link and a few more informational items so that we can add them as a resource by adding a link to them on the website.

- What exactly is membership?
For starters, membership gives you unlimited access to all of the resources on our site. By becoming a member, you essentially become a "resource" to our users because we add your link to the category your business falls within (i.e. lender, handyman, REALTORŪ).

- How do I add my link to your website?
Whether you are a REALTORŪ or a real estate related business, click on the rotating green MEMBERS icon from any page (on the sidebar) or any SIGN UP/ADD LINK button and follow the directions from there. Once you create an account, you will be prompted to add additional information for full membership.

- I would like to advertise my business for added exposure. Can I advertise on a specific page?
Yes. You can choose the page and size of your ad (while inventory lasts). Prices vary depending on location and size of add. Click on the rotating Advertisement button on any page (on the sidebar) to be directed to the Advertising Overview for pricing and more information. We sell a limited amount of advertising per page/site to give advertisers optimal exposure.

- I am a national vendor. Can I place my link under each state?
Yes. Your link can be national, state, or city specific. You choose!
Back to top
- What's the difference between adding a link and advertising?
When you add your link, we will place your link in the category your business falls under. Users will find your business by clicking on your link and be directed to your website. If you advertise, we will place your display add on a page(s) on our site and add your link to the display add. The sell a limited amount of display ads and it will be more prominent than the link.

- Do you have a screening process before you add a link?
Yes & no. Because we are simply a link sharing site, our site does not endorse or guarantee any claims made by REALTORSŪ, professionals, or businesses on their own personal websites or advertisements. We do, however, reserve the right to remove any link at our discretion without penalty or refund. We encourage our users to fully screen any business/vendor to their satisfaction before referring them business or doing business with them yourself. See our Terms of Use Policy for more details (links are in top bar).

- What if I do not have a website for my business? Can I still add my contact information?
Yes. We do encourage you to utilize a website, but we can also link users to your email address or a flyer with your contact information. If you are a REALTORŪ, you can also use your "agent page" from your broker's website (just copy and paste the URL of that page from your browser on to the registration page). You might also consider placing an advertisement on the site to expose your business to our users if you do not have your own website.

- I am not seeing my city in your list of choices. Can you add it?
Yes & no. We do not add cities under the REALTORŪ pages, as we use only the city that their association is located in. We encourage the REALTORSŪ to add cities under their description of services on their link. We will consider adding additional cities under all other categories. The related businesses have the same cities as the REALTORSŪ to choose from when signing up. We have over 1400 cities to choose from, but we may add your city if it does not fall within the umbrella of a metropolitan area you have to choose from. We are happy to make special requests though! When you sign up to add your link, let us know what other cities you would like us consider adding if your city is not listed. You may also contact us beforehand if you would like to ask prior to placing your order.

- How many links do you allow in a category?
We do not limit the amount of memberships (aka: link). We do, however, limit the amount of ads to give our advertisers optimal exposure.
Back to top
- My business does not fall into any of the categories you have to choose from. Can you add it?
Yes. So long as your business is real estate related (or you have a convincing argument that it is!), we will add a category for you. When you sign up to add your link, let us know how to categorize your link by choosing "other" under category, and we will add it when we add your link. You may find when looking at the website that your category has already been added, but may not appear under the categories to choose from when signing up. Again, simply choose "other" as your category and tell us where to place your link.

We prefer you email us with your questions due to the high volume of calls we receive. There are several places to contact us: 1) Contact Us icon at the top of your screen, 2) the email address at the bottom of each page, 3) Your Voice button on the HOME page sidebar, 4) Contact US on the main menu, and other areas throughout the site. We will respond to you as promptly as possible.
