I am working on a new site for a real estate client and was wondering what is usually done for content on the website? I found a site offering weekly real estate tips, mortgage calculator and glossary (http://www.websitebiztips.com). Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Has anyone dealt with this company before?

Thanks.

Everything they offer you can get for free elsewhere.

Real Estate Glossary
Realtor.org has several glossaries.

Here are a few real estate news feeds. Some sites request registration. You might check them out too.

Thanks ResaleBroker.

I like the glossary and calculator. I will use those but am not interested in those feeds because (and I've looked at Inman before) :
1. they send the user to another site (and contain lots of advertising I'm not interested in) and/or
2. contain only US information and/or
3. are not formatted to match your website

Thanks for the info though!

I am having a hard time with the calculator from that site. It only allows a d/l for a unix file. Anyone have the raw html file minus ads?

Thanks,

If you want a free solution and your client's site is framed, you can link the viewing frame to: http://content.realestateabc.com

News feeds don't do much because most news is not interesting to consumers. Tips and advice are better. Free calculator solutions usually link deeper into a site designed to generate leads for lenders.

So, we offer personalized calculators and newsletter/content stuff that works for your clients, but...it rests on our servers, not your client's site directly.

Personalized Calcs: http://www.realestateabc.com/propage...alcs/index.htm

Newsletter/Content:
http://www.realestateabc.com/propages/newsletter/

It isn't free, but it is less expensive than any other comparable solution on the web. I designed it that way.

No copying allowed. All articles are original material and copyrighted, including the glossary.

I have just taken over working on my site. and
I used to have inman news on my index page, It did not go to a new inman page. but one of my pages with inman news in the middle.

Just trying to add it now and it is taking you somewhere else.


So my question is.
Is it the script that is taking to a new page. I used the inman script.

do i need a new script.
