As the sun races across the sky, the days become longer, the air warmer and, once again, life begins to return to the land. Twice a year, day and night become equal in length. These times, known as equinoxes, were markers in which seeds would be planted and then harvested. The first of these, the Spring or Vernal Equinox occurs on or about March 21st of each year. The Vernal Equinox is a time of renewal, both in nature and perhaps, in your website! A good "spring cleaning" prepares your home (and your website!) for the positive growing energy of spring and summer. Is it time to give your website a spring cleaning? Why not visit your site today and pretend you're a consumer seeing it for the first time. Visit our forums to share ideas with your colleagues about how you can maximize your Internet presence. We'll see you at the forums!

Read the following from real estate professionals who are using Advanced Access' Marketing Tips to their advantage: "In April 2001, I attended a seminar at our local Desert Association of Realtors in Palm Desert, Calif., put on by Advanced Access. I found a web designer that knew real estate and upon checking with multiple other realtors that were clients of Advanced Access, many who I knew, started to develop a custom site. This has matured since then and with my continuing education in computer technology — I’m currently an E-Pro NAR student, and working with Jennifer Boullion, Angie Cummings and now Aron Spegon, there is not a day that goes by without increased traffic to the site and positive written responses received from clients. In just a few months when I had virtually zero traffic to my site and no business, I have gone to multiple responses per day and a growing website based client list and substantially increased business. It’s such a pleasure to work with my web designers, Jennifer, Angie and Aron as I would come up with ideas and innovative techniques to attract clients and these professionals would implement and improve them. Aron Spegon has been an invaluable help and his advice, counsel and efficiency are truly appreciated. The educational side of Advanced Access i.e. the training classes held on site, (I’ve been to every one) and the periodic newsletters and alerts are part of a comprehensive, well thought out and complete package. There is not one day now that I have not had 5 to 15 positive responses and potential clients contact me and request assistance. This will all lead to increased sales volume and listing volume. The costs involved in the website development have been substantial but thru the process of maturation, experience and old fashioned “trial and error” have paid off. There is no question that I feel my real estate business and website presence is above and beyond the competition. These techniques have also assisted me in the development of my alternate non real estate website — FSPrescott.com which is also very successful. I made the right decision in April 2001 and continue with enthusiasm to appreciate the Advanced Access Approach to Real Estate Websites. Fred S. Prescott "I listed a townhome in Redondo Beach, California. The sellers requested that it be withheld from the MLS till the exterior was painted and some interior repairs were completed. These were scheduled to be completed several weeks later. I received permission to place the property on my website, www.gr8homes.com with some interior and exterior photos. Two days later, I received an e-mail from a couple in Texas relocating to the Los Angeles area who spotted my listing. A few e-mails back and forth resulted in obtaining their telephone number and finally an appointment. They came out for their relocation house hunting and we spent a weekend viewing homes on the market. Sunday prior to returning home, they wrote an offer on my new listing resulting in a double pop! Great job Advanced Access!" Ron Werner
