The biggest question is "At what list price should they be listed at?"  An example: a property is listed at $75,000 but there is a forgivable loan of $30,000 over a 10 year period and the requirement is that the homebuyer is at or below 80% of the areas median income. The argument is that if I was a buyer with cash it would cost me $105,000 to purchase the house, so shouldn't it be listed at $105,000.</p> <p>Cindy Pelz, RCE</p> <p>Executive Officer</p> <p>Des Moines Area Association of REALTORS</p> <p> </p>	Cindy Pelz 11/20/09 9:53 AM	--

I am looking to get the Top Producer 8i. There are several choices ranging from $70 per month to almost $150 per month. I'm not sure which feature does what and if it's worth the extra money. Any advice from any top producer users as to which package to choose? </p>	Dave 11/18/09 6:26 PM	MikeParker 11/20/09 8:08 AM

Mine is old and out of date and not effective in these current times. It is easy to waste thousands of dollars and wind up with a pretty home page but virtually nothing in the back end working to bring business. I would like to know the names of some website developers that are using the latest technology and really understand the real estate business. If you are happy with the results of your website, I would like to hear from you. </p>	JoAnn Roberts 11/13/09 5:18 AM	Kat Kestler 11/20/09 6:31 AM

I was sold on trying quality leads from this company at $54/lead no strings attached, return within 3 days if they were invalid. I explained to the sales rep that i was not interested on long term relationships, i explained that i was looking for high quality prospects ready to buy or sell within 90 days. They told me i could cancel at any time if i didn't like the product. </p> <p> Very quickly i realized these leads were no better than any other internet leads i will get on my website.. actually out of 8 they sent all bogus numbers, bogus names and emails. </p> <p> I called within 3 days to cancel. Now they are dripping me with bad leads they want to bill me for and demand a 30 day notice (in the meantime they will continue to drip me for obvious rea$ons), and they DO NOT TAKE the leads back based on their criteria. </p> <p> I am in a predicament here, i am going on vacation and these people are bombarding me with useless leads. Anyone out there had any dealings with this company? any suggestions? </p> <p> Thank you in advance. </p> <p> Marina </p>	Marina Sarabia 11/18/09 3:42 AM	Judy Sepac 11/20/09 6:29 AM

There is a $3,500 upfront fee for the majority of states except FL, AZ, CA and a few others.</p> <p>Is it another scam?</p> <p><u><font color="#800080"><a href="http://www.hopealliancefoundation.org">www.hopealliancefoundation.org</a></font></u></p>	PGeorge 11/18/09 2:40 PM	Norm 11/19/09 4:26 AM
