I got an email yesterday from a client letting me know what was being sent out by the NAR. I always take the time to review the information from this client as he has always been what I would call a partner in business, even though he is a client of mine.
The information was about this Free Setup promotion by the NAR. I thought at first glance, wow, this web site promotion is a really good deal. Thinking I was going to be forced into re-invent how we do business, product line and our services. I know we have all been there… :- )
So after my heart calmed down a bit I started checking into it comparing what they offered and what they said they normally charge. I put this information here for my prospective clients as I know I look for comparisons when I shop for products or services.
Although their are thousands of other guys selling web sites, for the purpose today, I am going to call them, “The Other Guys”.

| # of Email Accounts | Unlimited and free | 5 Accounts
(free but they value this at $9.95). When you work this out this means that you actually only have one email account, because the other four have to be used to create all of the mandatory accounts that are checked for and verified by different Internet services to ensure that your site is legitimate. |
| Monthly Reports | Every web site comes with reports, and if you want the best reports available (not me talking here, it’s a known fact) then use Google reports. | They give it to you for free the first month, but feel it is worth $9.95 |
| Training | We offer videos on how to operate your new web site and online, phone and email support for questions and help with each web site. For those that are looking for Internet Marketing information we have our Membership site. All of our real estate clients have free and unlimited access. | Bi-Weekly Sales worth $399.95 |
| Monthly Hosting | $34.95 | $29.95 |
| Dedicated Management | Included | $99.95 |
| Custom Logos, Designs | Included, Every site is built around the customer, graphics, logo, page layouts | Available (Additional Cost) |
Reviewing the above makes me think how you would spend the $839.40 you save with your new custom (template driven) real estate web site through WebbIT, would it be advertising, a laptop, new phone, video camera…
