Thanks Joel, i'm on twitter as : http://twitter.com/agentxl I tweet about REM20 issues, and a lot about the developments around our community website marketing platform There's a short video here if anyone is interested. http://YourFarmer.com

Couldn't have said it better, Building your "fishing hole" as you call it (I call them "bait sites" - but same thing) is the best thing an agent can do. Our experience has been super positive with community sites. See http://YourFarmer.com for more details.

More than some weight Brad, Huge weight. While that's a pretty cherry generic domain name, I agree with you that a name like SeattleLuxuryHome.com will have a powerful marketing advantage at pinpointing those buyers interested in that type of property. I coach all my clients to buy neighborhood related (or as you're suggesting Market specific) domains that are geo specific. People search generally in the areas that they want to buy and for the most part they already know where that is going to be. So good geo specific names, not just the city, but right down to the local neighborhood community will become more and more valuable to agents as time goes on. I've got a good post with some videos here about the value of a good name you might enjoy. http://yourfarmer.com/blogs/leads/2008/11/05/whats-in-a-name/989
