Real Estate Websites

At the end of 2004 I began playing with the creation of real estate websites.  There was not a very good choice of platforms. One choice was to put up a less than ideal .html site on my ISP subdomain and the other was to get a Realtor.com site.  One was cheap and cheesy and the other was expensive and cheesy.  I elected to go the expensive and cheesy route and got no results from it.  I am sure I am not the only Real Estate Agent that has made that mistake - I had an expensive electronic business card that no one ever saw.

The Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World?

Do I consider myself the Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World?  Why of course not.  I very much think that is a description many of us strive for, but we can not give ourselves that title, it must come from our past clients both buyers and sellers.  I would be embarresed to label myself by that term, but would love to be labeled with that reputation.  I can't begin to be considered as one of the greatest agents in the world until I become labeled the best in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama and that title will be bestowed by clients, not by me.

The Gulf Coast Region of the United States consists of the coastal States that border the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf States are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida and are in the Southern Region of the United States. The majority of the Gulf Coast shoreline is in Florida and Texas with Mississippi and Alabama having the least amount of coastline.

The waters along the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Mississippi are influenced by the Mississippi Sound where massive amounts of silt laden fresh water from the Mississippi River mix with the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  The effects of the sound reach over to the barrier island of Dauphin Island, AL and the mouth of Mobile Bay.
