Several agents have asked me how they can get started on Listingbook. I have been using it for awhile and I can safely say, it is awesome. My clients, both buyers and sellers, are having a lot of fun with it, and using it regularly. It keeps the agent at the center of the transaction, offers clients the information they need, a place to keep up to date on the market and a way to make sense of it all.

To describe it in a few words is tough because it does so much, but it has been described as being like an MLS on steroids. You should check it out. Invite a client to use it.  The free version may be all you need to get started, but for less than 10 bucks a month, you get a customized, full featured website, IDX with map search.

"It is the RMLS of Minnesota's practice and policy to provide our customers with the best available information resources and tools to increase their value to their customers and to help them be more efficient and productive. Listingbook should be a great asset in helping agents communicate more effectively with their clients whether buying or selling property."

- John Mosey, President of RMLS of Minnesota

Gone are the days when the way to find a homes for sale in Minneapolis was to drive around your favorite  Minneapolis neighborhoods in your car until you found a “For Sale” sign, or call a Minneapolis Realtor and wait for them to call you with what they found for you.

Today’s web savvy Minnesota home buyers have found a fast and easy way to shop for MN homes for sale, it’s called the Minnesota MLS. The home buyer has complete control over what they see and when they can see it, as it is available on the internet for free, and they control the search criteria. Only Realtors have access to the actual Minnesota MLS, but you can access the same MLS listings, and some better search tools than Realtors have, we just cannot call it THE MLS, because it's against the rules.

The Green Home movement is catching on! Growth in the next five years is expected to explode.

Fairview Green, of which I am a part, is a team of Minneapolis Real Estate professionals committed to the Green Home movement in Minnesota. This week we had a rooftop meeting on the Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center (a state-of-the-art environmental business center) with one of the top leaders of the green movement in the country and the World, Corey Brinkema. Corey, who resides in Minneapolis, a good guy, and it’s easy to see by meeting with him why he is such a great leader.

Our Fairview Green group, led by Investor Tom Kaul of Greenwood, is dedicated to learning, educating, communicating and implementing energy efficient strategies into the new home industry. We had a rooftop meeting with Corey Brinkema, of www.GreenInstitute.org Minneapolis, a nationally-recognized leader in and the sustainable real estate development and eco-industrial business. Corey has nearly 20 years of experience in the real estate and environmental industries with many projects around the United States and globally. Corey developed the Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center, a state-of-the-art environmental business center that has become an international model for the sustainable development of commercial-industrial facilities. Corey serves on the board of the national Eco-Industrial Development Council and the steering committee for Eco-Industrial Estates Asia Network.

Our rooftop rendezvous was fun not only because were building relationships and networking, but because it was a beautiful Fall afternoon in a the middle of a Minnesota prairie garden, and it was quite an experience to witness a garden growing ON A ROOF.

We all benefited from the meeting because we came away with a better understanding of each other as people and as organizations with many common goals. We are committed to a set of guiding principles, which includes leaving the World a little better place than when we found it.

Move over, red and blue. There's a new color in town: TEAL. The Exit Realty. Recently, there's been a lot of buzz about Exit Realty! I constantly get questions from this network about our company. What is Exit Realty really about? Why choose Exit? EXIT is unlike any other real estate company in North America.  The thing that makes us different is the EXIT Formula - a system of single-level residuals, consisting of 10% sponsoring residuals, 7% retirement residuals and 5% beneficiary residuals which has been specifically engineered to enhance the return on invested time for salespeople to unheard of levels. 

EXIT Realty is Growing!

• EXIT is NOT multi-level marketing
• Over 1,140 franchises sold and over 37,000 agents recruited
• Over $100 Million Paid in Sponsorship Bonuses (since 2000)
• EXIT has grown at a rate averaging 77% each year for the past 5 years

Watch Steve Morris explain the Exit Formula...enjoy a short video!mms://video.lantrax.com/exit/UpClosePersonal18min.wmv
