3) WTF with NAR?!Rob Hahn and Daniel Rothamel do you remember the way I said they would keep RPR “free” with an increase in dues.  Didn’t take long did it.

4) Zillow Adds Rentals. And more. – Had a lot yesterday on Zillow, this one takes a closer look at how it may effect Craigslist.

Top 10 real estate posts of the day for 11/19/2009

1) Are you addicted? – Are you addicted to looking at the past instead of forgetting the past and moving forward?  Another great free video from Tom Ferry.

2) No more drama and hype: Known facts on RPR – Still confused about the RPR? This post will lay out the facts of what it is better than any I have seen yet.

3) 10 tips I learned from my first listing video shoot – Thinking of adding video shoots to your listings? Here are some good tips to save you time and learn from others mistakes.

4) Showcase your networking presence with an online business card – With more and more people doing their home shopping online you need to make sure you do everything you can to differentiate yourself from the crowd.

5) Negative equity: The elephant under the rug – So what can you do if you are upside down in your house? Well you only have a few options, and loan modification is very rarely a serious option.

6) Where are the smokin’ hot deals? – Of course all real estate is local, and your market may vary, but it seems more and more the smoking hot deals in real estate are for those looking to move up into their next home.

7) Seriously dude, learn to spell and write in paragraphs – This is why I spell check everything before I put it into MLS, because I am horrible at spelling. Another reason why video is so much easier.

8 ) The role of the real estate financial analysts – I am sure there are few the truly analytical types out there, this one is for you.

9) #NAR09 – San Diego – One more wrap-up of the NARDiego event, and only posting this one because it may be the most compete and informative overview I have seen on the event.

10) Virtual REBarcamp – What one agent thought of the event – Unfortunately I was unable to attend this REBarcamp virtually, but I had very much wanted to. After reading this post it looks like it was mostly a success and something to build off in the future. What I am hoping is in the future these become more advanced and separate themselves from the IRL barcamps which tend to be more for beginners.

Top 5 real estate posts of the day for 9/2/2009

1) 3 reasons you should stop wasting your time online and call an agent instead – Most people start out looking for houses online, but that does not mean they shouldn’t seek the help of an agent to help them find their home.

2) Home selling strategies: Listings needs words that match buyers searches – You mean buyers don’t Google “custom home with majestic views?” PropertyNut has some good free classes on just this subject too.

3) First time home buyers NAR numbers – Almost half of all sales right now are first time home buyers, more reason to consider extending the first time buyer tax credit.

4) Thoughts on the NAR IDX enhancement group – For those of you who have been following the IDX/scrapping controversy, here is a must read by Jay.

5) Google Reader helps you blog more efficiently – Some good ideas on using Reader to help with your site that I had never thought of.
