This was the Pasay-Makati Realtors® Board (PMRB)’s presentation during the 3-day 48th National Convention and Election of PAREB(Philippine Association of Real Estate Boards) on the night of October 10, 2008 at El Centro Convention Centre, Legenda Hotel, Waterfront Rd.,
Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales,Philippines.

The Fellowship Night’s theme was “Memories of Yesteryears” with songs of the ’50s and ’60s. Nine (9) other boards from Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao performed their song and dance numbers. This is a Song with Choreography competition (as of 7 Sept. 08 yahoo groups e-mail announcement).

This National Realtors Convention is held annually to form camaraderie with fellow Realtors from all over the country and to hold our new set of PAREB Officers for the coming fiscal year. We had seminars and different programmes, had good speakers this year, to be of better service to our real estate clients here and abroad.

Petition:

We feel that REALTOR.com has not been responsive to the needs of REALTORS and that the current relationship between NAR and Move,Inc. (as currently constituted) is not in our interest as REALTORS for the following reasons:

1) Move, Inc. has a long standing pattern of raising fees on REALTORS and charging them exhorbitant fees in comparison with the costs of developing a national real estate listings site. Fees (which yet again are expected to be raised in 2009) are out of line with what other national listing aggregator websites cost their shareholders. Why should we be paying many multiples of what companies like Trulia and Zillow are costing THEIR shareholders for aggregating real estate listings on their sites?

2)After being provided ALL of our listings and photos, they have stripped off all but four, unless REALTORS pay them an annual “enhancement” fee. This effectively takes our clients and holds them hostage until we pay their “fee”. Much of this fee goes right back into “Sales expenses” which are Move,Inc.’s marketing to REALTORS that they MUST have their service. This adds HUGE costs to what is needed for a national website and is NOT acceptable.

3) In a world where many websites offer REALTORS social networking opportunities to connect REALTORS to potential clients, REALTOR.com has been sorely lacking in developing these types of programs.

4) The 2007 10K (released Feb 28, 2008) from Move, Inc. shows STAGGERING General and Administrative Expenses of over Million and Sales expenses of over 8 Million..these expenses are RIDICULOUS given their online properties and a development expense of Million. While we realize that this includes Top Producer and other assets of Move, Inc., that actually makes the ratio of development / Sales, General and Administrative Expense even MORE out of line. We are tired of having NAR tell US to pay for THEIR inefficiency.

We are not against paying for what WE receive. If you want to charge us for “enhancing OUR contact information” then fine. But don’t hold our CLIENTS and CUSTOMERS hostage. That is unconscionable. Many of them don’t know what you are doing to us and if they did, they would find it incredibly offensive.

More importantly, because the National Association of Realtors leased the rights to our web presence to third parties, they put themselves in the position of defending REALTOR.com’s inefficiencies and deficiencies to the general membership for their own financial gain.

We call on NAR to take steps to BUY BACK Realtor.com from Move, Inc. or to buy a controlling interest in Move, Inc. to provide a national listings site for REALTORS at a price that is REASONABLE and RATIONAL. With the current stock price so low, a controlling interest can be purchased at a reasonable price and other assets like TopProducer can be spun off to repay (partially) the investment. This is a strategy that makes SENSE.

Until NAR SERIOUSLY takes up this issue and hears our concerns, we vow to raise awareness, talk to the press, let our clients know what you are up to, and most importantly, we will NOT continue to pay higher and higher fees to cover Move, Inc.s inefficiencies and largess.

We do not do this out of spite. We do this to protect OUR good name and our industry. It only makes sense with Move, Inc’s stock price this low to take these actions. We call on you to address these concerns completely, totally, and immediately.

After you have added your name to this petition an e-mail will be sent to the given address to confirm your signature. Please make sure that your e-mail address is correct or you will not receive this e-mail and your name will not be counted.

http://CommissionGusher.com Realtor Training – The REALTORS Virtual Prospecting system is by far the most advanced way for real estate agents to be able to find new business today. With the combination of four websites, you are able to carve out any amount of business that you desire.

The for websites that you need are 1. Personal Web Page 2. Client Contact Blog 3. non Branded Opt-in Page 4. Referral Directory

As a Realtor you know you need a Web Page and that is where most agents get stuck. Most real estate agents do not have a very effective lead generating web page. The site is normally just a surfing site with all the kinds of information that give the visitor A.D.D. and do not encourage the buyer or seller to leave their contact information.

The page most often does not have video and when it does the user is not getting the most out of the way they are using it. The are not on YouTube and when they are they are not using the components of YouTube to get them to the top of the search engines to drive free traffic.

GO TO http://RedHotWebPage.com

As a REALTOR you also need a BLOG. You must keep in touch with you entire list and 97% of them will not be buying for 1 to 10 years. A BLOG enables you to keep in touch with you list without appearing to be selling because it is news. Because if you do not keep in touch with your list somone else will.

A good BLOG will be 95% news and 5% sales with a link back to your web page. You do not want to have your BLOG domain name associated with your web page as it too will be considered a sales page.

GO TO http://ClientContactBlog.com

The Third web page you need is you non Branded Opt-in Page. We have developed a three step opt-in page that works like stealth. Ideally it is set up to be a gateway to the main listing sites in your area. It is designed to be used with Google the #1 web page on the Internet as well as Yahoo, Craigslist and Kijiji.

This is the Pit Bull of the lead generating virtual experience, it is to be used to go after now business. The great part about this is that it can be turned on and off when you want to work.

Because of it’s direct response nature it is the best measurable way to get leads and build your business today – BAR NONE – and I will go as far to say that there has never been a system developed as powerful as this in the history of prospecting

The fourth tool you need to round out your virtual marketing experience to be involved with a REALTOR or real estate agent directory.

The obvious reason is for out of town out of province out of state or out of country referrals. But the bigger reason is to be able to use it at the listing presentation so that you can show your clients that you are involved with looking for buyers moving into your town or city.

You can then use the script that we provide with Canada Referral and United States Referral to get the seller to want to send you all the buyers and sellers that they meet. The reason the script is designed to be used at the listing presentation is because that is the day that they will stat to talk about real estate more then any other time in their life.

or

http://UnitedStatesReferral.com

Finally all of this must come with training as it is a very strategic way of selling. So we have built the Commission Gusher Training System and we will be showing you how to get all of the knowledge the skills, the equipment and the software to enable you to be a major player in the Virtual Prospecting world today.

We always like to ask are clients to check with their local real estate boards, RECO, CREA the provincial ore state governing bodies throughout Canada and United States such as OREA.

The reason we say this as it is important to be up on the current national and regional advertising standards and regulations with regard to real estate in the Canadian or United States of America real estate markets.
