John Vanhara
If you are looking for the help installing WordPress blog on your website read further. WordPress is great and free blog software and it can run on the same hosting as your real estate website. I think this is the best blogging program currently available and I would recommend it to anyone. This website is also using WordPress, plus many more real estate website we manage ourselves. WordPress is very easy to install, but if you do that first time it might be challenging to set it up correctly, choose right template, change SEO setting so links are easy to read for search engines, etc.
We can do WordPress set up for only $49. We will need you FTP access to your hosting. The price for installation also includes short consulation how to use WordPress for blogging. If interested in help please email us at info@eastbiz.com
Why buying leads doesn’t work
John Vanhara
Buying leads in real estate doesn’t work very well. Agents are complaining about low response rate from perspective clients. Clients very often submit request for more information on real estate website, but when contacted by real estate agent they don’t even remember that. Practice of many lead generation services doesn’t help. Many of them sell leads to multiple agents, clients don’t know who they should expect to call them, there is no mentioning of brokerage or agent’s name during the process.
On the other hand many agents are responding incredibly slow to online request. Agents also shouldn’t expect that leaving messages will guarantee them returned phone call.
The way how real estate industry currently works is not ideal. There must be done a lot of improvements by the way how agents communicate with clients and how the information is provided. We will be trying to show some of the best practices, which helps to agents work less with better results.
Link Building Strategies December 6, 2005
John Vanhara
I believe reciprocal linking is getting less important and natural linking is getting more important. The good way how to get natural links is to write blog, be active in discussions, forums and comment on other people blogs. Create something of informational value on your website. Unique information no one has. Take data from MLS and show stats of what is happening on your market. If you need help or some ideas let us know. We might help!

The best tools for reale state agents
John Vanhara
Our mission at ILoveRealEstat.biz is to test, review and find the best tools for real estate agents. There are hundreds of companies offering websites, but sometimes the same website can be available as open source software (which means free!). Why pay for something if you can get it free? Similar for website hosting. Why pay $20-$50 per month if you can get the same quality or sometimes better hosting for $5 per month? It is nearly impossible to know all the information, to know what offers are really good, but we ourselves have about 100 websites, we tested many hostings on our websites, we are in real estate like you, we use the same tools for our business and we feel there is a gap in the market. There are too many people making money on agents! And it is not benefiting agents. A lot of bad tools and websites are out there. A lot of people are giving bad advice about SEO, PPC and it is not right. So therefore we created this website to pick best of the best and give it to you. We will be focusing mostly on OPEN SOURCE solutions. We don’t want cover too much paid solutions and commercial products. Why? Because there are many products which work great and are open source, so you can use them without paying for them.
