Real Estate Experts

About this Group

"Ask the Experts" is a group that RealTown created specifically for people seeking advice from Real Estate Professionals.

Please keep the conversation in this group real estate related-- whether it is about buying/selling a home, real estate specific computer software, real estate marketing tips, local zoning laws-- it should be real estate related in some way.

Questions from both Real Estate professionals and consumers are welcome. Please note that this group is public, but it is also moderated, so your post may not display right away.

Participation in this group is a great opportunity to showcase your expertise and help others.

Several of our staff will be watching for new posts, so your posts should be approved quickly. </p> <p> This group was meant to be a resource for consumers and other people in the real estate industry to find the information they are looking for, and get their questions answered by people who are in the know. We've decided to make this change in order to keep this group filled with relevant content. </p> <p> Since starting this group we've noticed many different kinds of posts including RealTown tech support and the occasional ad. We would like as many members of RealTown as possible to subscribe to this group, and we felt that off topic conversation may be a turn-off for some, and members may have unsubscribed as a result. </p> <p> If off-topic content is posted, we'll attempt to move the post to the proper Group/Community, and/or notify the poster. </p> <p> All on-topic content will be posted as soon as one of us moderators has a chance. We hope to keep content flowing quickly in this group. </p> <p> We will begin moderating this group on 01/05/2009. Please feel free to send any questions you may have about this change directly to me at <a href="mailto:Ashley@RealTown.com">Ashley@RealTown.com</a>. </p> <p> Have a great day!<br /> </p>	Ashley Ruble-English 12/31/09 11:03 AM	James Johnson 1/5/10 11:01 AM

I just started doing all the research and realized I could use recommendations on the following: </p> <p> 1. Camera/camcorder - needs to be HD, wide angle (or can accommodate a wide angle lens), have good image stabilization and shoot well in low light situations. If it can shoot still pics as well as video, even better! </p> <p> 2. Video editing software - what can I use to easily cut out sections of footage, add music? I'm using an ASUS laptop running Windows 7 Home Edition. </p> <p> 3. Where can I find music to add to videos that is not copyrighted? </p> <p> 4. Video hosting on the web - where are you storing your videos and what does it cost? </p> <p> 5. Video syndication - what sites do you use for posting videos and are their sites that do syndication? </p> <p> 6. Websites that will help me learn to shoot great real estate tours! </p> <p> Anything else you think I'm missing that I need to know/consider would be greatly appreciated. </p> <p> Warm Regards, </p> <p> Joanne </p> <p> Keller Williams Realty </p> <p> Jacksonville NC </p> <p> www.jacksonvillenchomeconnection.com </p>	Joanne Flick 9/2/10 7:56 AM	Jeff Jasper 9/3/10 5:39 AM

Now days we see many peaks and valleys in our pay checks. I would like to hear from anyone who is a pro or has ideas about how to get a listing directly from having a current listing. I figure if each time we have a listing and then obtain a listing during the selling process, we wont have many peaks and valleys in our income. Maybe it's just me but financial security and a steady income would be nice......although I know with todays market this is difficult to obtain. Any thoughts or ideas? </p> <p> http://www.davehibbardre.com </p>	Dave 8/30/10 8:44 AM	Joyce Murphy R(B) 8/30/10 9:45 AM
