Leveraging Dynamic IDX for Your Real Estate Success

Wed, Mar 27th 2024 1:15 pm by Mark Fitzgerald Development

Real estate website


For Realtors, establishing a strong online presence is crucial, and having a personal website is the cornerstone of this digital strategy. A personal website not only serves as a central hub for brand recognition and lead generation but also provides a platform for Realtors to showcase their listings and expertise. However, the integration of Dynamic Internet Data Exchange (IDX) takes this a step further, offering transformative benefits that can elevate a Realtor’s business to new heights.

Dynamic IDX: The Game-Changer for Realtors

Dynamic IDX integration allows Realtors to display real-time property listings from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) directly on their websites1. This...

NAR Lawsuit Settlement: How will this effect realtors websites

Fri, Mar 22nd 2024 6:30 am by Mark Fitzgerald Development

The recent landmark settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) will indeed bring changes to how realtors’ websites operate:

  1. Commission Transparency:
    1. Realtors’ websites will need to adjust their display of commission information.
    2. The agent commission field, which used to be visible alongside property listings, will no longer be shown.
    3. Buyers and sellers won’t see the standard commission rates on the website, leading to more direct negotiations between parties.
  2. Shift in Buyer-Agent Compensation:
    1. Realtors’ websites will need to adapt to the new reality where buyers have more control over how much their agents are paid.
    2. Buyers can now negotiate fees up...

NAR Lawsuit Settlement: Will there be any changes to how homes are listed on MLS

Thu, Mar 21st 2024 6:15 am by Mark Fitzgerald Development

The recent landmark settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) will indeed bring changes to how homes are listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Removal of Agent Commission Field:

    Prohibition of Broker Compensation Offers:
  3. NAR members will be prohibited from offering broker compensation when they list a home on the MLS.
    Sellers will no longer be required to make a compensation proposal to prospective buyers and their...

NAR Lawsuit Settlement: How will this settlement affect home buyers

Wed, Mar 20th 2024 6:15 am by Mark Fitzgerald Development

The recent landmark settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has significant implications for home buyers:

  1. Negotiations and Transparency:
    Under the settlement’s terms, negotiations between buyers and sellers might become more complex.
    Home sellers would pay smaller commissions, allowing them to keep more of the proceeds from sales.
    Buyers, not sellers, would decide how much buyer’s agents are paid.
  2. Shift in Power:
    The settlement empowers buyers to set their own agents’ pay.
    Buyers can now negotiate fees with their agents upfront, potentially leading to more transparent and personalized arrangements.
  3. Uncertainty:
    It’s uncertain how real estate markets will transiti...

NAR Lawsuit Settlement: Implications for Listing Agents

Tue, Mar 19th 2024 12:31 pm by Mark Fitzgerald Development

The recent landmark settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has significant implications for listing agents and the real estate industry as a whole. Let’s delve into what this settlement means and how it impacts listing agents:

  1. Background:
    The NAR faced multiple lawsuits centered on its participation rule, which required listing agents to offer commissions to buyer’s agents on Realtor-controlled multiple listing services (MLS).
    The long-standing interpretation allowed brokers to offer minimal commissions, even as low as one cent.
  2. Settlement Details:
    The NAR agreed to pay $418 million in damages to settle the lawsuits brought by home sellers.
    The commission-shari...

Phishing Email Scams By Trying To Spoof Cpanel Internal Message!

Fri, Oct 22nd 2021 2:09 pm by Mark Fitzgerald Security

Phishing email scams by trying to spoof cpanel internal messages

I know this goes without saying but if you are not sure about an email, never click on the links or even reply to it. If it pertains to your business, utilities, domain, or banking account, always first contact your provider directly from their website, phone, or their support system. Never ever trust email links!

Currently, there is a new Phishing email scam that uses Cpanel internal messages trying to scare you into clicking on them quickly with the concern that your website is running out of disk space or bandwidth. This message is very rare and very unlikely that you would get such a message unless you are the tech contact or host. These are internal messages that are passed around...

Big Corporations are destroying your organic SEO so you have to buy leads from them!

Wed, Sep 8th 2021 3:49 pm by Mark Fitzgerald Real Estate Search Engine Optimization

Big corporations that brokers/agents are moving their sites to are destroying their organic SEO in order to replace it with lead buying options. 

That’s right; the big dogs are getting brokers/agents to move away from smaller companies that provide the ability to have Organic SEO and replace it with more automation that the clients really don’t want and lack Organic SEO. 

They do this by offering free setup fees and a few months of monthly maintenance then hit you hard when your Organic SEO is gone and no longer brings you leads. Now you are at their mercy because as you all know building back up Organic SEO can take months or even years and yet can be taken away from you in weeks.

Back To You’re Real Estate Roots

Tue, Jun 22nd 2021 10:45 am by Mark Fitzgerald General

Thinking back many years now I remember watching my parents on the weekends preparing for an open house and taking out signs to properties on Saturday just in time for Sunday callers. I remember watching them at their desk with paper and pen writing up ads for the newspaper on Monday evenings because they had to have them in the newspaper before Wednesday's end of the day. 


Those days are gone now or are they? Maybe they are just evolving a bit or maybe the newspaper ads time they spent is now being used for blog posts on their website and the open house time is still used but enhanced as they also bring their computers and have the listing showing on the tvs throughout the house.

Google Maps API Keys, Is Yours Restricted? Did you setup a budget?

Tue, Aug 11th 2020 1:32 pm by Mark Fitzgerald Development

If you have a website and you’re using Google Maps then you have a Google Maps API key.  In order to use that key Google requires you to put a credit card on file and they give you $200/mo credit and if you go over that you will get charged.

What many don’t know or are just too busy to know is that your API key is easily found by others and if you did not restrict it to your domain or IP then others could be using your API key costing you money.

Our suggestion is to add a site restriction for each of your Google API Keys and also add a budget so that if you do go over the $200 you will not get an unexpected bill.

Set up a budget:
