RealtyChat.com Blog

If you haven’t already noticed, RealtyChat.com has gone through a complete overhaul. We are still trying to hammer out the bugs so pardon us for the next couple of days.

What’s NEW

• Free Real Estate Blogs - We now offer real estate professionals a free place to get and manage their own blog. Extremely powerful and customizable system!
• Brand new design and interface. XHTML and CSS. Very clean. Should be faster than the old site too.

What’s Changed

• The Real Estate Forums have been completely redone. Better layout, easier to read, same simple format and easy to use system.
• The Real Estate Directory has been completely redesigned too. The thumbnails are now powered by Snap.com and pop-up when clicked on, thus making the load times faster.
• The Visionary Award is no more. Web design has changed so much in the past couple of years. Sites have been changing too fast to be worthwhile.

What’s Next

• Tons of new blog templates. Right now there are a handful. We are working on another dozen or so to release soon.

A little update about that previous post…

Almost a year later and one of those condo devolpments (the one overlooking a trailer park/car lot) is STILL on the market… They first marketed them as condos, then as elderly housing, then apartments, and now back to “luxury” condos. Never see any cars parked there.

Is “luxury” merely having stainless appliances and granite countertops? Is that all it takes these days?

This one is just funny…

Saw a house that had 3 real estate signs on it. I’ve seen instances where 2 might be appropriate, maybe on a big corner lot, but I’ve never seen 3 before. And then I saw another one! LOL

Now this isn’t exactly the most high-end of companies, but doesn’t it just seem a little too desperate? Yard sign, one on a tree (merely 4 feet away) and then one on a fence abutting the house (about 8 feet behind the other two). As a consumer, I would most certainly notice it, but I’d be terrified.
