Single Property Sites (SPS), a real estate marketing solutions company, is announcing the company’s receipt of a new Quality Tested and Approved Vendor status from the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS).

The Council of Residential Specialists (CRS) is a group of more than 37,000 top REALTORs across the United States. As a Quality Tested and Approved Vendor, SPS has earned the top recommendation by this powerful group of Real Estate Agents.

SPS president Paul Eastwood said the recognition from the Council is validation of the work spent developing Single Property Sites as an easy-to-use listings marketing system for Real Estate professionals.

Joe Prunty, CRS Regional Vice President and Chair of the CRS Product Review Board said, “We are pleased to have awarded Single Property Sites the CRS Quality Tested Seal of Approval. Single Property Sites is a well-designed service that addresses the marketing needs of CRS members. Not only is SPS very easy to use, but it also delivers significant value to Realtors that need an easy and effective way to market their listings and differentiate their services.”

The CRS has a comprehensive review process a vendor must undergo before earning the designation of Approved Vendor. Several technical committees test the product exhaustively and real Agents test its viability and usefulness in their business. Only the select products that pass these exacting tests receive the CRS’s coveted Seal of Approval.

“The CRS only recommends the very best for their members,” Eastwood said. “The goal of SPS has always been to give every Agent, regardless of technical knowledge, access to the most powerful technologies for marketing their listings - but to do this through Wizards and intuitive screens, that are friendly and make it easy for anyone. Our biggest area of feedback from our clients is the ease-of-use of SPS. We are proud to receive the CRS Board’s stamp of approval.”

Paul Eastwood said he will work to make sure SPS earns the continued approval from the CRS.

“We’re constantly adding and augmenting features within the SPS platform to make it more simple and more powerful for Realtors,” Eastwood said. “Just in the past few months, we’ve added automated craigslist posts, Facebook flyers and more easy to use widgets, making it easier than ever for Realtors to reach as many people as possible with their listing information. We want the CRS to know we’re working to help their agents reach new markets with minimal effort.”

I tried the ‘freecreditreport.com’ service myself a few years ago - of course I canceled their obligatory ‘enrollment in triple advantage’ ($15/mth) the next day as it is complete overkill in my opinion.
I see that the FTC are now trying to educate everyone about their endorsed website for truely free credit reports.
Here’s one of their Spoofs from YOUTUBE! Click here for AnnualCreditReport.com spoof of the other guys

Domain names are quite collectible! I know some of our clients now have over 100 domain names in their account.. and counting. Of course, these represent a substantial investment.

Not only are all your domain names a valuable asset in terms of the original cost, but also, remembering that every SOLD site stays live for FREE, its important to know that you can manage and control those assets effectively. After all, each SOLD site gives you a tremendous SEO advantage by being an actual website that is indexed by each engines, and has back-links to your main business websites. You’d be hard pressed to buy that SEO advantage for as low-a-cost as an annual domain name renewal fee!

So - we have completely re designed the SPS system that helps you easily manage your domain names.
Now you will see clear visual indicators telling you the status of your domain names and an easy way to renew, or Transfer your domain names as you wish.
