Ubertor

Stephen Jagger of The Uberator and his business partner Michael Stephenson, as well as 3 of their sales team, have moved to Seattle to get things rolling with their software sales, training and website development business.

They’re running several free training sessions for Realtors and real estate agents, and topics include, why and how to blog, how to submit listings to Craigslist, Feedburner, Google, etc. They’re also doing training on how to use the Ubertor software and best practices for getting websites indexed in the search engines.

Just got an offer from www.MLSOnline.com to buy into their lead-generation program. “You will be able to select territories and view the prices and the terms of signing up with MLSonline.com. We offer Month to Month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month subscription terms. Territory prices range from $49.95 per month to $249.95 per month depending on the territory that you are interested in.” And exactly what does one get for that $249.95 a month?

The folks at Emongoo.com posted the following message to 360.Digest:

“Please don’t take this as spam. I am blogging everyone I can to let people know about Emongoo.com. Ok, ok so that sounds like spam, but really that is not my intent. The goal is to just let people know. The website emongoo.com is a new “For Sale By Owner” website that offers more ways for sellers to sell real estate. Buyers can also search for free on Emongoo.com. The goal is to let everyone know about our company and to get feedback.”

And I take these quotes from their blog:

“People are finally starting to see through the false standards of the real estate status quo”

“A change has been needed in real estate for quite some time and both Zillow and emongoo are paving the way for changes in the real estate industry.”

“With the launch of www.zillow.com so many more people are looking at Real Estate and the web and seeing the enormous possibilities. Good thing we got our foot in the door! Trust me in the next few months it will only get more insane.”

Yikes! They really want to know what I think? I think they have a worthless website that takes advantage of desperate sellers. Attention sellers! It is doubtful that a listing there will sell your home. Do not buy legal forms from this company! It is doubtful that they will protect your interests. See an attorney instead. Do not buy their directional signs before checking with your local municipal government. Many cities and towns have rules against posting signs that are not directly on the sellers property. Do not send them the $625.95 for “e-coaching. I’m pretty sure it’s a waste of money. If you want to sell your home yourself, there are plenty of local options for you. Do not be swayed by their slick website. Hire a local real estate attorney instead. It’s safer. Good luck!
