Now THIS is the way to run a real estate site! Exceptionally easy to populate the site template and update site content, both text and photos for properties For Sale By Owner (FSBO). It is even a snap to change the order of photos by dragging a new or replacement photo to the list of photos with their thumbnails. I direct traffic to this site by the flyers I developed for the site for my horse property, which I am personally distributing to the horse-related businesses and real estate agencies in my area. I could not be more pleased with this site and update it frequently in response to suggestions by realtors who have seen my property. I sold my property without the aid of a broker by (1) buying a flat rate MLS listing; (2) posting a yard sign stocked with high quality flyers; (3) distributing flyers to any business with a bulletin board as well as targeted (equestrian and pet related) businesses because we had a large fenced horse property with a dog run and play area; (4) posting an aerial tour shot by drone web-cam on YouTube ("Marcella Aerial Tour"); (5) posting a walk-through video shot with my iPhone on YouTube ("Marcella Blvd 2"); and by shamelessly promoting the property to everyone I met. I was NEVER without my supply of flyers. Every one of the above contributed to my sale at the price I wanted for a LOG house in South Florida!

ZILLOW CAUSES INCALCULABLE DAMAGE BY THEIR COMPLETELY BOGUS ESTIMATES OF HOME VALUE. THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO WAY FOR A SELLER TO CONTEST A TERRIBLE ESTIMATE IS UNCONSCIONABLE. IF ANYONE WANTS TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST ZILLOW I WILL BE AMONG THE FIRST TO WRITE A CHECK TO SUPPORT THAT. THEIR SECRET ALGORITHM MUST HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY PEOPLE WITH NO REAL ESTATE BACKGROUND. MY INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL BY A CERTIFIED APPRAISER WITH THIRTY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN MY AREA IS $150,000 HIGHER THAN ZILLOW. I ABHOR ZILLOW AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.
