I have also tried RealBird and Postlets and they are not too bad either. It is one of those things where if you could take certain aspects of each site and roll it all in to one, you would be set. It seems to me that Classified Flyer Ads has the best SEO but I think VFlyer has the highest PageRank last time I checked.

We are in the same business as RES (but we are making money on other products) and we decided to innovate rather than worry :-) We have just released, what I believe, the industry's most comprehensive website analytics tools for real estate professionals. RealBird members can now integrate Clicky, Google Analytics and MyBlogLog in their property website for real-time stats, detailed reports and social networking around their properties (respectively) One of the little covered topics of online listing marketing is the fact that one has to have tools to run Trial and Fail tests. The promise of online listing marketing is that one can test different methods and based on the results decide where to spend the resources (time and cash) to optimize the performance. Without major investment, risk and expertise. This is now all available for real estate agents via the newly released web analytics tool set of RealBird. See our write up at http://realbird.typepad.com The single property website service business is not a zero sum game at this point. We have several clients who are using our services and our "competition's" as well. We have clients who mash up their RES VT with the RealBird listing website. I suspect segmentation at this point, just like with regular real estate websites and maybe consolidation at some point. There is nothing revolutionary in the single property website concept in itself. It's a website focusing on the listing, rather than the sales person. Innovation is happening in the real estate business process, that is, letting the listing information go and promoting it as much as possible (rss, SEO, syndication, widgets) and adapt to the reality that in web 2.0, consumers drive the real estate process. It is more of a change in terminology, then a technology innovation. Successful companies like VFlyer, RES and RealBird understand this and optimize the technology to meet the new requirements of the new real estate process. We are not driving the change, the consumers do, we empower agents to adapt to it. What I am missing is a good coverage of web analytics for real estate. It has to be demystified. Real estate agents are in the business of conducting real estate transactions and not in being geeks about technology. We have started to write case studies on the RealBird blog in an attempt to QUANTIFY the ROI of new technologies and I would like to see real estate technology bloggers covering it more for the benefits of the real estate industry. There are a lot of articles about the qualitative aspect of applying web 2.0 in real estate but very few about the quantitative aspect of it. Thanks Joel for the ongoing coverage of the new real estate reality. -- Zoltan Szendro www.RealBird.com Hello Joel,

Good post again. We are in the same business as RES (but we are making money on other products) and we decided to innovate rather than worry :-)

Mentioning only vflyer and Real Estate Shows leaves out much better single property website tools - hard to believe that you don't know the other 10 or so major competitors in this field.

When you look at it from a ROI point of view it just makes sense. Though my latest video listing totally dominates any search for the address having one domain containing all of the property information online can be very useful. Joel,

Especially with the large inventory of homes on the market now, any edge an Agent can get they should take. I'm also interested in checking out the features that vFlyer and RES have to see if they would be a good fit for my site. Great point!
