After our experiment with Virtual Properties and Maxsell Real Estate, I am sold that WordPress MU is the best solution for brokers wanting a turn-key solution to provide agents with websites.

WordPress mu is a platform that allows brokers to add an unlimited number of agents on unique sub domains of their website. Each agent can control their sites content, design and even the address through a simple to use administration panel. Due to the inherent search engine friendliness of WordPress, it is a powerful solution that can be implemented at a very low cost, saving brokers administration time and money.

For information about custom WordPress MU installation and hosting, please contact us.

Come meet hundreds of other Realtors who utilize the latest technology as well as technology vendors at the south’s largest real estate technology conference.

REtechSouth 2009 will take place on Friday, March 20, 2009 at the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, GA. Attendees will learn and network more in one day than many conferences fail to accomplish in three days!

RE Tech South is hosted by Brad Nix of Maxsell Real Estate and Matt Fagioli of Diamond Dwellings. We had the pleasure of meeting them last month, and we are very excited to be part of this event.

What? Nofollow is a tricky little tool bloggers use to discourage commenters from leaving a lot of spammy, lots-of-links style posts. The nofollow virtually removes all of the search engine optimization benefit of those links. So, we disabled the nofollow. Why you may ask? Simple; we want our clients to benefit from leaving comments on our website. For more information on nofollow, visit our FAQ page.

Here are the ground rules. We’ll moderate the comments pretty strictly, so there is not much chance that you will see spam comments, of over link heavy comments. If you see a comment with inappropriate links, please look for the “report a cold comment” link and tell us about it.

If you use WordPress, you too can have nofollow free comments by using NoFollow Free.

Hot RE Tech is all about providing advanced internet technology to Real Estate professionals. Since 2007 the Real Estate industry, especially in Atlanta, has been a tough industry. Many Realtors looked to minimize costs in any way possible. We announced our Agent Website Program, in 2008 as a way to address Realtors’ business needs of having a professionally designed website that is both high quality and economic.

What, did someone say Free IDX? Thats right. Many Atlanta Realtors likley do not know that there is a Free MLS Search Tool avaliable that is compatable with the Georgia MLS (GAMLS) and the FirstMLS (FMLS). You can sign up for FREE IDX from SoftRealty.com and have your search up and running in just a few moments. Best of all, the SoftRealty search tool is fully compatable with HotReTech’s Free Websites for Realtors.
