Thanks Jay! I love freebies! ... BTW ... the Phoenix listing you posted ... are the real estate taxes for real? THAT LOW????? I don't think I've ever seen that kind of an amount unless it was a tiny tiny condo (a studio or maybe a one bedroom). Is that NORMAL?

Michaela - Yep, that is the correct tax amount. Our property taxes here are low. (Makes up for the ridiculous electric bills in the summer...)

The state sticks it to us in other ways of course -- income tax, car registrations, etc.

Thanks much, Jay.  I quickly posted several of our listing and notified our sellers that their listing was/is the first in Jacksonville to be posted... it's always fun to be first and on the 'cutting edge' and you help us all stay there.

What's your point, Vance?  Am I missing something there?  I read the "Terms..." pretty thoroughly but didn't see any problem with agents posting their listings.

Just a word of caution, however, be sure to identify yourself as an agent according to your particular state laws and regs such as your brokerage, address, phone number or whatever is required (I err on the side of caution and include all - LOL)

Thanks Vance... it IS a holiday so I was afraid my brain was taking a vacation day and I was missing something important as a result... of course, it's getting close to Happy Hour and I will definitely not be at the top of my game during and after it. LOL

Cheers!

ROFL -- I'm going to quote you on that one Vance (I think I'll even print it out and put it on the refrigerator door)...

"Your brain is doing fine!"  

Believe me, that is not what I hear from those who know me well. LOL  I normally get, "What is wrong with you?!"

Vance -

I removed your comment with the link to your listing. It was so long it was whacking out the page and you couldn't read the comments.

Here it is...

Jay/Francy,

Thanks for the 411.  I've already posted a listing, and will let my broker and other agents in the office know about this freebie.   Pat yourselves on the back for me.

Dan - yeah, it's a dry heat. So is your kitchen oven and not many people chose to curl up in there to relax...

It was 116 yesterday (officially, my backyard thermometer showed 119). Today is forecast to be even hotter, meaning it's likely to top 120 at my place... Cooling off tomorrow to 112.

At 9:00am today it was 102. The news said is only felt like 97. Whatever. It's insane...

wouldn't it be nice if Point2 offered this site as part of the syndication along side with CL, Backpage and eBay we have now? ... including the nice html code? ... I guess I should go and mention it on the message board!

I sent them an email about it Michaela!  It's been running in Canada for awhile now, so they are familiar with it. Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't working on it....

But someone else mentioning it sure couldn't  hurt!

Thanks Jay ...we all are in need of these freebies.  U da best!!!

Seems as though they don't accept HTML.  Although, I was able to sort of copy and paste a flyer.  Can't create hyperlinks...these days, here's hoping most know how to copy & paste addresses to browser.

Hope ur keepin' KQQL :)
