This house has alot of character and with a little TLC would make a great home! Nice neighborhood, well maintained houses. The house has an attached carport and a large detached garage/workshop. this is a really good price for the neighborhood.

First, thank you Donna,  Markelle, Tim, Janine, Suzanne, Caron, and a special thanks to Robert May for all of your help. I now have a plan of action. I thought if I shared the plan it may help others to SEO their websites.

•1.       Go to http://www.seoworkers.com/tools/analyzer.html and see what it says about my websites. Correct what I understand.

•2.       Post my starter/investor homes on Craigs List every eight days.

•3.        Talk to the Point2Agent support about the framing issue.

•4.       Look again at a respected competitor that comes up good, as recommended.

•5.       Make sure I have all the google tools. I have added my company to the map with no results, but will keep trying, with all the other tools.

•6.       Check out my tags on my additional pages.

•7.       Go through the 31 free online tests at http://www.avivadirectory.com/free-online-tests

I think this will be a good starting point. Any other suggestions, as always are greatly appreciated.  Does anyone know how long it should take to see some improvement?

My company joined Leading RE last year. I went to a conference in Atlanta that was good. I use some of the marketing material.

Beyond that I feel like I am not utilizing the network like I should.

Do any of you have any suggestions?

I am so thankful I have joined the REO groups at ActiveRain. It has already been helpful. I had an agent that had done work for several years with Integrated Assets and then suddenly nothing. He had a hard time reaching anyone and had given up. After reading one of the posts here I decided to try to help him get with someone. He has now made contact. They said they did not know what happened but they could see he had done a good job in the past and they told him they would move him to the top of the list.

So, if you have worked with anyone and done a good job, contact them. I have never thought of it like I do my regular referral business, but from now on I will. I will be making a good effort to stay in contact with all my asset managers from now on!
