On Friday, September 12, 2008 Real Estate Webmasters terminated employment of 3 full time staff members (two creative team members and one member of our CSR / team) - The "speciifc details" of this termination will remain private however I will be providing a brief overview. I want to ensure that our customers are aware of the situation (especially those currently engaged in current dialogue with these team members) as their sudden absense will naturally cause curiosity and because we will be...

A few weeks ago I ran a promotion for REW customers that offered 1200 hours (design, programming and writing time combined) at a discount of 25% off of our regular rate. I figured that we would sell out July's excess inventory in 5-7 days, and we ended up selling out in less than 36 hours (Thanks everyone for your purchases) Due to the sellout, many REW customers who wanted to get in on the action missed out as it was first come first served and there was way more interest than there were hou...

Update, both design and programming hours are now sold out. Thank you to everyone who purchased It's always the way isn't it? You get busy getting busy and all of sudden you realize you have neglected some of the things you are "supposed" to be doing. For me it's sales - I have been so busy this month with the conference in September, developing some new products and planning my wedding (Mid August for those that were going to ask) that I have neglected my sales duties a little bit. The end r... Read Full Post

Most of our members know, that creating a custom website takes a lot of time, creativity, and talent. But oftentimes they are surprised, shocked, amazed etc when I tell them that a truly high end custom website with all the other custom goodies (custom IDX, custom blog, quick searches, featured listings modules and the like) can take a project into the 200-300 hour range in combined design / programming time. "Are you serious?" Indeed I am :) So I came up with an idea to take the members on a... Read Full Post

To our valued REW customers. By now many have already noticed and commented on an increase in both response times and efficiency during business hours at our REW customer support forums. This is no accident - Recently we have increased our team of daytime CSR reps responsible for non billable support of our technologies. The most significant addition to our CSR program this year - is the addition of 3 full time programmers for providing tier 2 and tier 3 support for REW technology (CMS, Lead ... Read Full Post

I have been getting a few inquiries from those that have paid thier setup fees for either their iframe IDX, or iFrame IDX + REW Template site on how to go about setting up the iFrame - I thought I would post a quick tutorial. (Note we have not billed out the iframes yet as we were waiting for more to come in to try to get you guys a discount on the setup fee, but we will need to bill them in short order) So here's how you do it (Or rather the URL and code to give to your developer) The URL fo...

FIrst of all, I want to thank all of the agents who attended training last week at the Bellingham office, it was great to meet with you all, and we really enjoyed our time there.

As many of you know, REW IDX is a true "custom" platform. What this means is that our customers can have us make custom changes to our CORE system in any way they can think of with only 1 real limitation, that limitation being we cannot violate the rules of the MLS board (Our changes must pass compliance). One of the most common questions asked of me is "What is the difference from just sticking with CORE (Out of the BOX) REW IDX vs customization. Below I am going to provide an example of jus...
