Fred Griffin used to pay a lot to Realtor.com - not any more. Though office still has subscribed to Showcase listing for all the agents.

The same goes for Trulia and Market Leader.

Zillow premier agent for many years - and is more likely to stay that way in 2016.

Our brokerage pays for agents to have enhanced listings on Realtor.com and we have found this to be valuable...and credible. Zillow and Trulia are not part of our marketing program.

Fred,

Our clients do not pay for upgrades.  One does pay to have her name appear exclusively on her exclusive listings.  It is a defense maneuver...It seems to me crazy to have to protect the listings one works their tail off to get.  In my opinion something is wrong with this picture @$350 a month for up to 8 listings.  A

Never, ever! Love it when other agents do though as they are wasting their marketing dollars in these activities when they couldf be spending their market $$ wisely.
