Thanks Nicholas. My website has generated $4MM of my $15MM in closed transactions in 2010, so I think it's working just fine thanks. My website is static- the blog is my marketing piece. The proof of funds requirement only assumes that unqualified purchasers are the only potentially dangerous clients. If it works for you, that's great. I just doubt it's a model (no pun intended) that many would want to emulate.

I like the story Mary, however, I think this couple is extremely naive. Am I the only one who wouldn't want pictures of my scantily clad wife all over the internet, particularly when anyone could call her up posing as a buyer and meet her at vacant properties? Seems really odd to me that they'd do this. I also question the website traffic. Realtors need to understand that increased traffic doesn't lead to increased sales unless the target demographic is the one viewing your information. Put provocative pictures of women on your site and chances are your traffic will increase, but not necessarily your business.

This is mind numbing. FHA delinquencies are through the roof, and the solvency of the FHA is in question. Instead of learning what happens when people borrow money with low down payments, the FHA is contributing to the problem. Of course FHA loans are way up, it's a given that they would be given that the free market learned its lesson and won't lend to the same high risk borrowers that the FHA caters to. It's a shame, and anyone in favor of a lasting recovery should recognize the FHA as part of the problem, not the solution.
