Wordpress Real Estate Plugin - RealShout
Wordpress is a powerful CMS that can benefit Real Estate Brokers and Agents. It provides an easy way
to create localized content that helps you become the local expert in your area. Up until now, there
hasn't been an easy, affordable way to add searchable listings to your Wordpress blog. Your options
were to purchase an expensive IDX solution, manually enter listings into your blog, or place an
iframed widget on your blog. RealShout offers something much better. We provide a Real Estate Search
Portal for Broker and Agent Wordpress blogs that is search engine friendly, captures buyer leads, and
doesn't break your bank (meaning, it’s free).

To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question - Realty Times
Blogging has been touted as the new answer to giving the consumer what they want. The first 10
years of the web was all about static information. Many are barely keeping their heads above the
rising tide of available information and have found without interpretation, it is something to
fear downing in without finding the foothold that leads to knowledge. The web has entered what's
been dubbed as Web 2.0 and no, it isn't a program to buy or download. It is a description of the
