Thumbs down The latest realtor scam

Came across this today . They supposedly supply you with 600 - 1000 leads per month for a big fee I'm sure

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this site ww.favoriteagent.com

add the missing w yourself. I didn't want to give them a link

When will people stop falling for this garbage

Funny thing was, the guy asking about it did so as if he were a realtor asking the question but was from one of the big framed templated real estate sites...

oops sorry... men my bad

Just goto their site ww.favoriteagent.com and click on the free bravenet counter

No Problem Rich I know how good I am compared to the others. I am years ahead but I did it all the hardway in very competitive markets.

There is so much BS around about who can do what as far as seo and Internet marketing goes. Once you know how to do online marketing doesn't matter what you decide on selling. You'll be among the best. I am sure SEO-GUY can relate.

With that said I am not the best at any one thing but when you combine all talents design/scripting/marketing/graphic design /multimedia/seo /etc ..
I am pretty good.. I will be in this Internet field 10 years next OCT

Default FavoriteAgent.com

Hello to all of those in question of FavoriteAgent.com. So we are being called the latest realtor scam. I can understand, based on the bad taste left in the mouths of realtors by lead aggregators. The bad taste is the very reason FavoriteAgent.com strives not. Reason being........we do not sell leads. Those of you who like to fish can relate. If I took you fishing and made you watch me......then as I am reeling in the fish.....i charge you for the simple fact that I caught it......not much of a fishing trip for you. But, if I teach you how to catch fish like me and even more.....now that's worth it. Our strategies and everything that's making us successful is what we offer our members. We generated, using our strategies, 1479 leads this month for our local team of ten. We have members such as one in Tampa,FL who has in four days generated 87 leads. The majority of our members are in a short amount of time finding their business growing faster than they can keep up. That is why they are building teams. You may think to yourself.....or hear a faint whisper that this system probably cost an outrageous amount. If a $60 a month membership is too exspensive......your in the wrong profession.

Yes it was me who said it ... As I politely told you without deleteing your post on the other forum that you were peddling your wares. Back to the drawing board.

I won't get into picking apart your Microsoft Publisher website because I simply don't have that much free time today but I will tell you that the only thing your are generating is ill will. Since your email address on the other site was mailto:amaywald@advancedaccess.com, I can't help but wonder if this is part of a bigger picture.

I will also tell you is that the last thing any net savvy realtor, (which is the kind you will find here), needs is another so called lead generating service sticking their hand in their pocket. You better get your team together and tell them this is a losing proposition. At the very least, can you be kind enough to target your innocent victims through your spam list and not clog up a valuable forum like this with this useless drivle.

Good day to you sir

Note to members and Webmaster: if I stepped over the line, please accept my humble opologies. I just get disgusted with crap like this....ahem...I mean posts like this
