Michael, Bear in mind, the analysis was culled from the Real Trends 500 and did not include every brokerage in America which is unfortunate because there are some great sites out there that are not in the Real Trends list such as Halstead, Blueroof, Redfin and Sawbuck Realty. We did not include effective marketing as a criteria because there would no way to measure the marketing efforts of 500 companies. As for winning awards vs.leads, come on guys you are missing the point entirely. This wasn't an award or a contest or for that matter a measuring how many quality leads you get. This was a report about the sites that offer, what we feel are the best examples of sites that engage the consumer. And isn't that precisely what drives quality leads? Is it no wonder the sites on this list also rank pretty high in real trends? They obviously figured out how to create a good site, how to drive traffic, and to engage inquiries, how to funnel them through their system and how to close them. Marc 1000Watt Consulting Turn On!

But why not focus on the fact that we but only 2 of many other judges. Second, what they got right about the blog is that it's a corporate blog and what these executives are writing resonates as truth. We'd rather see 1 truthful post a month that 30 posts that say nothing. How about trying to get something positive out of 120 hours analysis and the work of two respectable consulting firms rather than picking it apart?

Might want to try searching in Arizona where they are located but yes, we have noted that the City, State, Search directions should be modified for their marketplace. Marc 1000Watt Consulting Turn On!
