Jim Collins analyzed a broad range of companies when he authored a book called From Good to Great. He was searching to see what made a group of people, not just good at what they do, but great. One chapter focused on what is called a hedgehog concept. A team should ask the following:

 I couldn't help but post this to the MLS 52 pics. I just happen to come across it. Yes, a real listing (it's a commercial listing to be exact). This is actually from the Martin IDX but made an exception to post it on Regional IDX as an example. Apparently, this pizza is for sale for $299,111. But I can get you a similar one for $9.99 and if you order on a Tuesday, it's only $6.99.

 I was out to dinner with some friends recently. They have busy lives of family, children, business and travel. So when the topic of searching for real estate on web sites came around they listened closely because felt like they were talking to an expert concerning real estate web sites.
Real Estate Web Sites are popping up all the time. Apparently, the American public has a hard time understanding the differences of real estate web sites. So this article helps to sort out everything in plain terms.

 In a recent issue of the Regional MLS publication, Regional RE-Views, an article concerning their public website, hometoflorida.com, states that the official sponsored site "includes ALL of your listings in MLXChange..." This isn't accurate.

 So I tried LISTINGBOOK.COM today because Regional MLS, RMLSFL, included it in their services. I left in under 5 minutes. That will never last in its current form. The advertising makes it so hard and confusing to use that it hinders the productivity of the agent in the greater West Palm Beach area who is a member of Regional MLS. I suppose the advertising revenue is too hard to pass up.

Besides developing real estate web sites for real estate agents who are members of the West Palm Beach Regional MLS, we also consult with real estate brokers in the West Palm Beach Regional MLS who deal with national IDX companies (whereas regionalidx.com specializes in the Regional IDX from the Regional MLS).
Recently, we had a situation where a local broker member of the Regional MLS hired a national IDX company (let's call them national IDX company A) to provide services to their web site. The national IDX company A apparently was going through some changes and "borrowed" photos from another national IDX company (let's call them national IDX company B).

Similar to last week, and we won't post any more in this category, this pic is from a outside the country. Do people really search for properties in West Palm Beach Regional IDX that are outside the country? Let's rephrase for a specific, if you wanted to buy a property in Utah, would you say "Let me check Regional MLS"? No? We don't think so either.

I'm sorry... what!!! Yes, this is an actual picture from the Regional MLS. It is from an increasing number of listings outside of the country. Apparently a subway system is for sale.
