1 dayfotoguy (223): The MP processing is incredibly slow these days. I ordered a floor plan last week that took over 48 hours to process. The realtor had to add it to the MLS listing later. I hate making more work for them.

If GEOcv charged $1788 a year for unlimited processing who'd jump ship?

2 daysWingman (221): Each of two major listings websites in Australia are owned by big Australian Mass Media corporations. Two of them together probably share well above 90-95% of market for property listing in Australia. Both websites can and actually charge over $1000 just to have your property listed on them. And that's not even forever, if a property has not been sold within specific amount of days (I believe 45 days) you have to pay a few $100s just to keep...

22 daysWingman (221): Seems to me very cheap with domain registration unless they have everything interconnected so their system generates a page for each client automatically. And even that way I do not really see any value in something like this for a property seller. Only few buyers will use search engines to find properties for sale. Without a lot of investment in SEO and advertisement that website is going to be buried in 100s if not 1000s of listings coming...

Listing photos can appear on hundreds, if not thousands of websites through IDX distribution. This is one area where photographers have cut themselves short.

9 monthsVTLV (1500): I wouldn't bank on those numbers. Middle Man companies outsourcing to Matterport pros might get away with that pricing because their marketing budget has been pumped up and beating you out of your own market.

2 yearsmp2fp (394): The good thing about bundling is that there´s no need for transparent pricing - so the perception of value can easily be increased. Take for instance our $ 40 2D + 3D package - mark that up 3X and you´ve made an $ 80 profit. $ 120 for a 2D + 3D floorplan is not an unusual price, and I´m sure in some markets you could charge even more.

An Agent will only be associated with most tours they buy for a short period, then will move on to the next listing or sale, will...
