This space parked and reserved for any additions, announcements, modifications, updates, or just to make sure I have at least 1 comment on this post! LOL~ :-)

Brad ... WOW, wow ... this is completely amazing and your right COUNTLESS hours!  Thank you and this one will definitely be bookmarked! 

pippa

I think you will get more than 1 comment here. It is an excellen list, even for us non realtors to work through and to learn.

After about 5 months on the internet, it is amazing how many connections I am starting to get.

Like Mike Mueller's post comparing the internet to a water cooler.

Can't wait to get started on your list.

As soon as I learn how people keep up with hundreds of Tweets.

And the logo help sites are exactly what I have been looking for.

Richard

What a great resource you have provided to us by taking the time to prepare this list for AR.  Thank you.

Hi Brad,

This is a great list!! The one place you're missing, though, is REAL TOWN, which of course is another real estate community, similar to Active Rain, and also with over 100,000 members. (Links usually viewed as are but I hope it's ok to add RealTown.com.)

Oh great, and now it will take at least a year to go through all these, just in time for the next year's list LOL. Thanks, bookmarked. ~Rita

Brad, You always have so much information.  You make my head hurt sometimes.  Thanks for taking such good care of us.

You know I think I could toss in a few sites for free stuff as well. Software etc. Some good video editing how to sites. Its just hour 16 of my day and I cant see straight!

Oh I just saw one that I dont see on your list but its a great must have freebie. I guess its not a site but... mozilla thunderbird.

Congratulations Brad!! Also....incredible list. Thanks so much. :)

Hi Brad, Congrats on having your addition in an excellent article. There are so many sites, you must done a lot of head scratching trying to limit the number. What would guess, a few thousand?

Another group list that could help many REALTORS is all the "Best" sites to enter there listings. So companies say by uploading your listings with them, guarantees at least 25 or 30 of the best sites that share with. What we don't know are what sites to trust in the first place. And what they do with the information they gather. New questions are being raised on possible liabilities.

Wonderful Post Brad!

It will take me forever to look at all of these and by then they will have multiplied like rabbits. Will it never end? Thanks for the links.

Wow! That was a lot of hard work, and I will not let it go to waste1-Dinah

Hi Brad,

What a great list! This one is a keeper for sure, thanks for all your hard work. :)

I just thought I was making progress getting through my bookmarks of posts with good stuff from you and Marti and Anne Marie...  :)   Thank you for all the info and hard work!

wow one stop shopping at a price we can all afford - thanks you rock

Brad, awesome, thank you for spending so much time to give us this list.  I am going to check out every one.  (and I think I can sell this list and make some side money)

Wow Brad...A Lot or time and effort went into this, I'm sure the magazine got a good deal from all your hard work, plus of course all the AR members.

GREAT POST to Book Mark!

Cheers, thanks for sharing!

Brad,

Of course, this is absolutely terrific, you compiled it conveniently together, but would it be too much to ask whether it would be even more important to put the list of programs that you find the best in each category whether free or not free. This would really complement this list. I just do not know anyone else, who could do a list like that.

Thanks

Omigosh! I was going to take a quick look at this post before moving on to some other things I was supposed to get done before bedtime, and I have gotten sidetracked looking at site after site on your list.  Clearly this needs to be bookmarked so I can come back to it over and over again.  Thank you so much!!

Brad, Reading lists like this make me feel so inferior. Please tell me that it took you 3 years to compile that information. It will take me more than 3 years to access it all!

I do not have words - wohhhhhhhhhh

great list, and I thought I was not doing too bad, well thanks for the info - go to - have lots of work to do

BRad - well you have outdone ourself here. Yikes. I know about a bunch of these but a goodnumber were unknown. Hope to find the time to explore them, although on the other hand, how much more do I really need. Hmmm.

Jeff

Congrats on the article in Chicago Agent Magazine - we get the mag in my office, I'll have to look for the article! 

Thanks Brad!  You are always on it to give back to us all....great list.

Brad, wow, what a list! Thanks for compiling and sharing all of this information with us. So many of these sites I've never heard of! Congratulations on the recognition.

Brad...WAY too much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what I have been doing for the last hour....adding your favorites to mine!

This is very generous, thank you.

I have one word, wow. You are awesome for doing this list for us.  Thank you.

Brad-Your commitment and dedication to AR is so amazing. You may not have started AR as you had corrected me on a little while ago but your contribution and passion for making this what it is today is something you can be very proud to say you are a significant part of. AR wouldn't be what it is without you. You are very much the face of AR for a lot of us. That is not to take away from anyone else who is a part of the AR team. Even though I haven't yet checked out the rest of the team, I know they all must be a great team to put together such an awesome network.  This post must have taken a lot of time and thought. I know, I'm not the only one that appreciates all your hard work. I've already bookmarked this to come back to. I've been a member for a little while now and may not have started learning about everything this network has to offer in the most organized way but I have realized the value of it very quickly and I love it here and I've so enjoyed the folks I've gotten to meet and will continue to meet the longer I'm here but it is posts like this that really let me know that I have to kind of start again in some areas and be a newbie all over again. I hope you've learned that this comment is not just one of those (GPTFS)I think I got those initials right. They came from you. That is I think a lesson I've learned about myself since I've been here that I can't just comment without putting a lot of effort into it and I learned that some people will appreciate that, I think you being one of them and others will think "I'm too wordy" But's that OK. I will learn over time who those folks are and just spend most of my time on the quality of my comments to the people who will appreciate my efforts.  I thank you for the quality of your posts and also for appreciating my commenting style. That means a lot. Take care and I'll talk to you again sincerely Pat Preston

love all your gadgets and gizmos' - to late now - but I'll have fun tomorrow checking through your list of 150!  I can only imagine how much time it took  you to put that together! Thank you!

Wow . . .  BRAD !! What a score !! Thanks Man ....

Aloha

JIm

Brad,

 I know the tools list took time to compile. I know and appreciate  how much time this takes.

If they award prizes for "Best List" this would be the hands-down winner!  Sharing this list with us is a great time saver--thank you!

Wow...congratulations!!! That is so exciting.  Thanks for the time you took to compile all this info.  Aloha!!!

OMG.  This is BETTER than a Cowboy in tight blue jeans (at least from what I can remember).

 Dam Brad it must have taken forever to create this list! I know most of them but will take a look at the ones I don't.

Great list Brad. Thank you very much for all of these picks. Now I just have to take a vacation to have enough time to try all these sites.

This is awesome!  Thank you so very much for sharing!

I feel like a kid in the candy store-can't wait to get started and see what I can use next! How am I going to make any money when I have all this great stuff to focus on...ah, yes, focus is the key word! Thanks, Brad you're the best!

Brad,

This list is beyone anyone's wildest expectactions.  What a treasure trove of information. 

This is amazing Brad. I think you out did yourself this time.

Brad, terrific lists.  I've seen others compiled before, but this is the Mother of All Lists.

Brad: - I bookmarked this one!!  I need to check all this out. Thank you!

Thanks so much for all the hard work.  I spend a lot of time on this type of stuff, but what you have put together is awesome.  I will speak for the rest of the Rain, thanks again!

Brad - Thanks for all the links. I'll  have to check them out when I have time.

Brad ... WOW!  Thank you for investing all the time it took to pull that together.  You are a man of many talents.  I really appreciate your help and knowledge.  You are a special drop in the Rain.  :)

Holey Moley- This should keep me busy through at least 3 more Presidential debates...........!

Brad, Good stuff.  I have it bookmarked for future reference.

Your blog is like the coolest house on the block at Halloweeen! There are more "treats" here than I will be able to manage so I will bookmark. Thank you again!

Brad...

Whoo-hoo thanks for taking the time to install the links! Some of these I know about, some I don't so I will have a great time exploring today! -Richard Weisser

Brad,
Thank you, thank you for sharing.  You are the best!

Very cool Brad. This is an excellent resource!!! is there a way you couod place this somewhere that would give an embed code and then give us permission to embed on our personal blogs? With credit and a link back of course

Brad - Wow!  That is a great list.  Thank you so much!   :)

Brad, what a great list... it's going to take me hours on hours to go through it and play.

If you don't see me for a while, you'll know why!

Brad - Thank you! Your countless hours will save me countless hours and make me money! I do appreciate you!

Brad - Congrats on the magazine article.  Their readers are lucky to have you.  And a big THANKS for sharing all of these links with us.  It must have taken forever to put this list together.  I have it bookmarked for future refference.

Wow !  That is a lot of sites and links !  What a great resource : )  Thanks !  I know what I will be doing this weekend.

There are at least a few new gems in there - thanks Brad!

This is CRAZY!  NO DOUBT took hours!  Thanks - permanent bookmark!

AMAZING list Brad.  I second what Pat Preston said about your commitment and passion that you contribute to AR so generously as a community builder.  I am overwhelmed - just when I think I have made progress something like this comes along.  I have to give up that I will ever arrive anywhere - at least in the limitless space of the internet.  Someone else mentioned it - is there a free site for editing video that is better than Windows Movie Maker?  Also, I ran across a post yesterday about Giveaway of the Day.  This site seemed pretty cool.  Thanks so much for your time in compiling this list.

Congraultaions Brad on the article!  Thank you for sharing these great resources with us.  Lots to explore here!

Good job, Brad. That took a lot of research, although I am sure you use most of them. I've joined so many, I only remember them when someone sends me a message. I wish I had started a folder in OUTLOOK for all of mine. too late.

Spectacular!

A must read for anyone in the business or for anyone who just likes free stuff!

Thank you for compiling this into one easy to read format.

All I can say is WOW!! Thank you for putting this together. This is absolutely amazing and congrats on the article front as well.

Thanks Brad for all you do on this site!  I really loved your widget on the sidebar for the "TeChNoLoGy MaKiNg YoU mEnTaL?".  Only problem is when I called your Mental Hell Hotline, I listened to all the options and personally had to push all the buttons and it sounded like I flatlined!  Wishing you the best from Boise!

You just made it possible for me to remove many of the bookmarked post I have on AR and replace it with this one.  Often, I will read and post and think "way cool", bookmark it and then go looking for it only to not find the one I am searching for.  Thank you for putting all the cool tools together in one spot!

awesome, this is gpoing to take some time to digest...

chris the implementer

Amazing.  Thank you so much.  Exactly when do you have time to compile this type of comprehensive list?  2:00 am?  Active Rain showed brilliance when they hired you!

Brad- You were one of the first bloggers I subscribed to when I joined last year and I'm so glad that I did.  You are an AR Treasure: thanks for continuing to keep us informed and for "pulling" us forward with all your great tips.

OMG...that list is fantastic...everything we need to use all in one location....you are a gift! Thanks for sharing!

I am so excited!! I have used some of them, but others were completely new to me. Thank you for taking the time to compile such a helpful list.

Brad - Congratulations on having this great article published and for posting it here.  It's like having one-stop shopping for everything you ever wanted to know about all the free tools and sites to help the real estate community.  This is awesome!  Thanks for taking what must have been an incredible amount of time and effort to put this all together.

Brad, you are amazing! I am going to have so much fun with this list. I love it! Thanks for posting.

  I love you man!!!!  ;)  Please dont tell my wife. That could be awkward.

  Thanks, Great info!!!!!

 Greg

Wow!  This list is a real treasure chest!  Thank you so much!

Amazing list.  I love the signature.  This post is definitely bookmarked.  Thank you, thank you , thank you!

Thank you so much. It's just what I was looking for. You are awesome.

Thanks Everybody!!!

Thanks for all your great comments and appreciation.

Just as many of these sites and tools were shared with me, it's the AR Way to "Pay It Forward" and share them back with you and others. 

There's actually a total of 193 links in this post.

I'll add 7 more at some point in time, just to make it an even 200...  :-))

This list is priceless in more ways than one. Thank you for taking the time to share this incredible post. It is printed, saved and bookmarked for future reference!! A+++++++

Brad - Thanks for the compliled list...what a great gift to the AR community!

Brad, Thank you. There goes all my planes for today. It seems like I am going to spend the whole day online checking pout your top picks. :0)

OMG!  WOW! AWESOME! AMAZING! THANK YOU! YOU'RE THE BEST! Have I covered them all?

You're right...my head hurts just thinking about THIS discovery tour!

Brad, this looks like an excellent list.  I am familiar with many, but not all of them!  I like that they are all here in one place...I think AR needs to find a place to store this for public...make like a useful tools tab.

Brad, I am having a field day with these! Thank you! Very cool!

WOW! Great post.  I didn't know about a lot of these sites.  I'm going to look at these tonight.  Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful resource! I've bookmarked it so I can refer to it often. Thanks for this invaluable reference.

Early Christmas in the Rain!  PLEASE tell us as soon as you have found the site that suspends time, so I can use all of these. :)  Thanks, Brad.

Brad, all I can say is WOW and thank you. Amazing list and so well organized.

Awesome, Brad!  Thank you for taking the time to compile this massive list!

Thanks, Brad ... terrific resource. 

Great information Brad!Thank you for taking the time.-Dinah

This is great information! It's definitely something I'll keep around for reference in the future!

DM

My bookmark list is getting too long.  Please stop posting good information as it is inconvenient for me. 

Hi Brad! This is an amazing list. Thanks for all the hard work. It will be fun to browse through.

Thanks Brad, and when you find the site that can keep me from never sleeping to do all this great stuff, please let me know.   Surely, you must have found that site. 

Wow that is a long list, its going to take me some time to go through that!!!

Brad - WOW only a year, does your family even know who you are any more or do they just see the back of a head slumped over the keyboard from lack of sleep.  ps: Thank You for adding this to the freebies group talk about a bonus lsit of freebies.

Brad you are truly a community builder.  You're putting out some powerful karma.  May success be returned to you in tidal waves!  Thanks!

Hi Brad - wow, this is an awesome compendium of resources for all of us to use.  I wish I could print this out with all the links active and have it to hang on to at the ready whenever I want to refer to it.  Thank you for this tremendous resource!!

Ann

Sweet!  This is bookmarked and now I have them all in one handy, dandy place.  Thanks for the legwork Brad!

Brad - I can't thank you enough for this post and sharing this valuable information and free tools! 

Brad - I can't thank you enough for this post and sharing this valuable information and free tools! 

Brad,

WOW, What?!? WOW ... you make me tired just thinking about the work that went into this!  Thanks for sharing.  You've caused me to learn how to "Bookmark."

Best regards,
Mike

Wow Brad Thanks so much! Now I have got some work to do.

Brad thank you for such a terrific resource.  From all the comments you can see that your hard work was appreciated.

Hi Brad, thanks for the info. I will bookmark it. There's just so much great info. out there.

Amazing!  You are a goldmine!

Bookmarked for future reference, nice list, and great post as always Brad...obviously took you some time here. K

It amazes me how many resources are available for free on the internet.  There are so many tools we can use.  I have heard of many, but there are several I am going back to check out.

OMG, I thought I was the freebie queen!  This is AWESOME!  Thanks for taking the time to share!

This could also be titled "EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEEDED ONLINE" - WOW, this is amazing! Once again you have blessed us with tools to make our blogging and our business better than ever.

Thanks Brad - I think I must be addicted to feeling woozy as I love coming on to read even more exciting new things.  Or maybe I am addicted to AR????  LOL  You're the best!

Okay Active Brad....you KNOW I'm just not a techie girl, but still you wave your hitechnobait in front of me AS IF I'd be able to just walk by...without at least stopping to see what goodies you have in your bag today. They all look so good. How does a girl choose? That signature sure is cool. I'll take one of those...gotta have Squidoo (cuz it sounds like a cute puppy)...one of the ones with sprinkles...(oh sorry, you don't have donuts, do ya?)

This is too much fun!! GBU, my friend!

"Active Brad" is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! When in the world am I going to have time to digest ALL of this? A day is no longer supposed to be 24 hours, let it be at least 72! You are BOOKMARKED and again THANK YOU!!! Do you EVER sleep? Gosh, I thought I was an energetic person but you just blew me away!

Gee, thanks Brad!  And I thought I was going to sign off and go to bed...and I accidentally see your post in my RSS feed in Outlook.  Now I'm up for at least another two hours.

Great stuff Brad

Brad- What  a fantastic list! And that was a lot of work. Zappora did my post on getting listings from my active rain blog a couple of months ago, I should have blogged about it:)

For online radio, I love Pandora.com

I absolutely love open office, that is now where I write my books. Google docs is awesome, so is Google notebook. I use both a lot. We use google docs with our virtual assistant, she can see what we see and visa versa. You don't have mixpo under video. We are starting to use Jott! What a great tool!

I would add one more catagory, fast html converters, Nvu.

Wow, this post is great and bad. Great for all the resource that you make available to us for free. But bad because more for us to explore, haha. I really appreciate all your effort you do for us in ActiveRain. Once again great work.

Wow... you outdid yourself Brad.  What a GREAT list.

Brad-This is an excellent list, thanks for getting it all together.

Joe Federico

"Not Your Average Joe"

Oh my.... what a wonderful list to have access to.  I appreciate you taking the time to create and share this with us all.  I also appreciate the fact that you categorized them.  Thank you, Brad.

Kathy

Now that is some list! A bit daunting.  I am bookmarking to peruse it further.  Thanks for sharing what you know!  Km

My gosh have you ever seen so much stuff.  Thanks for the freebies

WOW!!!!!!

Unbelieveable - Thanks for the links and article.  I will use it personally and share it as well.

Oh my -- this is great -- so many tools, so little time ..... we will bookmark and come back -- thanks again.

Awesome post Brad! I bet it did take you a long time to get all these pages put together! I will have to Keep this and check em out...

Brad,

Okay, your exhaustive list includes plenty of familiar sites but also many others that need to be explored to see how they could complement my existing marketing plan. Thanks for keeping me busy.

Brad,

As a newbie to AR, I really appreciate this post--especially on where to find photos!!!  Half of it I had no idea what it was but I figure if I keep reading on AR--sooner or later I will figure out 1/2.  LOL

OK....I just updated this list with one final LAST upgrade.

I've included some FREE Listing sites to promote sellers properties, open houses, and condos, and I snuck in a couple other various links that I forgot to add the first time around, this brings the total over 200+ now. 

I'm Done, this is my Top 200+ Picks for 2008. 

Glad you are all enjoying these, thanks for all the great comments.  It makes all the effort and days it took to do this worth while.  Thanks again!!  :-))

Hi Brad:  The information that you provide here and on many posts is phenomenal and very beneficial.  Thank you for all of the information you provide, the obvious time, and thought that goes into your posts.  I'm headed straight to the SEO links.  Thank you again!

That's quite the list Brad... thanks for writing it and sharing!  The categories are killer!

Thanks for going to all this trouble, Brad! Good, useful info!

Debi

This is a veritable treasure trove.  Thank you so much!

Thank you Brad - all of your hard work is greatly appreciated!  BOOKMARKED!

(will you at least get through the holidays before starting to compile the 2009 list?--I hope so)

Brad, WOW!!! is right!  Thank you for you time and effort... this list is one I will refer to often and will pass on!!!

I was wondering what you meant by checking all the links in your post..... when you typed that on facebook, Brad.....

NOW I understand!!

I bookmarked this post,, bro!!!

AWESOME!!

=-)

Brad - Excellent list.  Thanks for creating the links.  A definite bookmark...also add it to Delicious when I figure that out....I'll start checking out these gems soon.

Brad, what a guy. Do you have time to sleep? That is a great list that I think I will copy and look at when i have more time. That took you a long time to compile. Thank you for all the effort and work you put in for all us.

I absolutely love your signature. Care to share?

Wow Brad,  thanks for all the time and work that went into this blog.

I am with Gena, I love your writing pen.  Would you share where you got it?

Brad, how much fun!! I'll never get anything done now. First I'm off to the animated signature. I just need to play for a while.

Thank you, thank you thank you!  That took alot of hard work to create all those links for us. What a nice gift. I am subscribing. :)

Brad Thanks again for always bringing us such a HUGE wealth of information. I can't imagine the hours you put into all of this. I boodmarked it for sure to check them all (well some) out!

HI BRAD!

I'll have to agree with Pat Preston on this one.  It is extremely selfless of you to take the time and create this post.  Thank you for sharing you knowledge and expertise with AR.

YVETTE

You are amazing.  Simply amazing.  Thanks!

Bookmarked this for sure!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the free information.

You Rock!!

Wow!!! There's so much here, it will take a wihile to go through the list. I have bookmarked this one for sure.

Gena & Brenda - the link to the animated signature is included in the 200 links in this post.  The two links are in the 3rd column, far right under "Animated Signatures".  Just click on either link and you can create your own for FREE.  :-)

Truly---this may be my favorite post of the year! How wonderful to have a one stop list like this and comfort in knowing Brad has recommended these sites means he has test driven them...this is HOURS upon HOURS of work...Thank you!

Brad,

Thanks for the post. This is a tremendous reference chart that will get lots of use. Kudos!

Great post!  You offer a tremendous resource.  It will take time but I'll check some of these out.

Brad - I think I can spend at least the next week looking into each of these links...  Ok - I'm never sleeping again! 

Wait - Do you sleep?

Brad, I have so many of your posts bookmarked that I can never complain of being bored! this post alone will keep me busy for years.

Thanks !

Brad - You've done it again!  Awesome list and you are right - hours of work - Definitely something I will bookmark and refer back to again.  Thank you, as always, for sharing your insight!

ADDED TO OUR SIDEBAR. Sorry for the delay. (were in a plane)

What about URBaCS? It's a tool for homeowners to share their building experience with their friend's and family.

Find out more at www.urbacs.com

See a builder using URBaCS at www.myestridgehome.com

wow. I can only imagine how long this took, but I so appreciate you doing this, as I'm sure all the other comments did, too. 

"Community Builder" is the perfect nick name for you, Brad, once more you've proven why you hold such a place of honor here.

Hi Brad;

This information is amazing, thank you for sharing.

Thanks Brad for the countless hours you put into this project to make our lives easier.  You ROCK!!!

Cheers,

Reece Mack

Great list.  This one is worth printing and keeping in my briefcase, since I do most of my work on the run.

Standing O, this took some time to type.  Thanks for sharing I always get great ideas from your blogs.

How great talking with you guys, who I miss so much. Thanks for all the time, effort, and enormous amount of research  putting this together for all of us.

This one is for printing and for bookmarking!

Know you are having a fabulous time in Orlando!

This is a great list Brad. Just when I thought I have seen it all and this. Thank you soooo much Brad. I am definitely going to check this list out. Have a great weekend. Great post.

Brad-Thanks for this great list, it is like Christmas has come early.

Hi Brad - This is awsome stuff - Already made an animated signature - SEE - Questions, where might I find the welcome door mat? Looks like it can be costomized - I like yours just the way it is as I am in Wisconsin. I just love it!

I believe you are nearing ROCK STAR status..... Thanks for everything you are and everything you do.

I will have to do some more reading as I cannot seem to get my pen to move!

Thanks for the free stuff Brad.  This is really excellent

Don

Great post.

You are definitely one of those rare Red Penguins!

I can't wait to delve into the meat and potatoes of it all.

Super List for reference.  I will bookmark and now that business is slow, I hope to go through the list and choose the ones that will fit for me. Thanks Brad.

Jack

RE/MAX

Wow! How do yu do it?

you have absolutely the most content filled BLOG ever!!!  I LOVE IT!

Wow, thats a lot of free stuff.  Now I just need one huge organizer to keep track of it.  Good work and keep the freebee's coming.

Greg - this should keep you busy for a year, it did me! LOL~  :-0

Brad, as usual you are a wealth on information for any Realtor. I'm sure your clients feel the same way! Congrats on being published too!

I am new to ActiveRain. I love this list. Thank you so much for taking the time to post it.

WhoooHooo!  Wow!  I feel like I just scored big time when I found your list.  What a great and unselfish act from you to share with all of us.  I wanted you to know that it is really appreciated cause we know this was not an easy task.  I've already bookmarked this one and as a few have already commented, this info will also benefit others besides just Realtors.  Can't wait to visit all of the fun places I didn't know about yet!

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to pass this along to my realtor partners!

Emma - you did just score big time!!  Have you any idea how long it has taken me to find and learn about all these sites? OMG!  Wanna know a secret?  Shhhhhh....   I keep coming back here and adding sites here and there.. it is well over 200 now and growing.  In fact, I just added 2 more sites just now.  So, keep coming back if you want to see the sites I'm adding that I feel are worthy of making the list here.  Shhh...   :-))

My goodness.  You must have a fulltime assistant to just keep up with your blogs.

Shelton

Shelton - now that's a great idea!!  LOL~  When can you start?  haha

I found this list when I first got on AR and did not have time to look at the sites.  Then tonight I came across it again.  I will bookmark and spend some time with some of the recommendations.  Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Brad,  This is an amazing list. Thank you sooooo much for all your had work. My son was right, when I asked him to help me with something. He told me to look up anything you wrote because you are THE GUY!!

Hi Brad,

Very extensive list.  Bookmarked!

Catherine

Bruce and Mary - hope you enjoy some of these tools , links and services.  Happy New Year! :-)

Gail - thank you, that was very kind to share what your son said about my Blog.  :-)

Catherine - I have a few more to add that I found in 2008, just have to find the time to do it.  Thanks.

As pretty much a NEWBIE to AR, this post alone will take me to the next level. If you are ever near Beaufort,SC and like to fish, give me ring and we'll head out on the No Worries for some serious fishing or cruising the intra coastal!

Mike - I appreciate that offer, I love to fish, and may take you up on it when I make it over to SC.  Thanks.  :-)

Another great one!  Thanks for the info and for sharing!  I always look forward to reading your atricles!

WOW! Thanks for all of the great sites!!!

Wow ! I can't imagine how  much time this took. What an amazing amount of resources. This is like hitting the jackpot. It is almost exhausting. Speaking about exhausting, I haven't hit the bed before 2:00am since finding Active Rain..  This in't going to help!  :)

Thanks again!

Cindy

Cindy - this post took me about a week to truly complete, but an entire year to gather all the information and sites for this post.  Most certainly one of my most time consuming posts but the most valuable also. :-)

Brad~

OMGOOOOODNESS! I know what I am going to be doing this weekend. THANKYOU so much for the time and energy you devoted to this compilation...much appreciated.

Wow, this is a lot of info., bookmarking and checking out some new ones.  Thanks!

I was just reviewing this and realized I'm gonna really have my work cut out for me in 2009!  lol~  :-)

Hi Brad, thanks again for the awesome posts!  Another one to  bookmark.

OMG - It's only March and my 2009 list is already larger than the 2008 entire year.  

I may need to break this down to a quarterly post! lol~

Wow, I don't even know where to start. So many "thank yous" to you!! Brad I had ignored this email, but saved it, for... I don't even know how long. This has tought me to read my emails as they come in, or even glance through the emails, just encase it has something you need. I have had my web-site for 5 years, wasn't to happy with it. I have viewed so many web-site designer, and wasn't to impressed with them. The tools you supply us with. I finally can keep my web-site and have fun with it. You are the best. wow. Only one thing, I need to learn how to work on my web-site. :-) No complaining here I'm going to have fun trying all these sites. :-)

Hi Vickie - thanks for your nice comment.  These should keep you busy and having fun for awhile! lol~ 

I find myself coming back here often, just so I can remember where some of these sites are.  I have about 20-30 more I could add just from the first quarter of this year.  There's just too many cool things available on the web these days.  :-)

Thank you so much. There are not enough hours in the day...but I will TRY.

Wow, great information.  I wonder how long would it take me to go to all of them.

Tere - nowhere near as long as this took to create!  lol~  (Big Smile)

Thank You!

Hey Brad!

Thanks for all of your work to create such an interesting list of free resources for Realtors. I love lists like this and always learn something new.

Wow Brad. I am going to have to take a whole day and get back to this one.

Thanks Judy - Enjoy!  :-)

Mark - may take you a day, took me a year to create! lol~  Tomorrow I'll be sharing this with over 200 people and I only have 15 minutes. :-O It's Funny how the time factors gets considered depending on each scenario.  lol~

Consider this bookmarked.  Very nice, cohesive list of important sites to have at your fingertips.  I was actually surprised at how many of these sites I am familiar with...guess I have learned a lot more than I realized!

Thank you Brad! It was so great to meet you at raincamp!!! This is a great list and I will start checking out the sites!

This list is incredible. Now it will take hours and days and months to explore. I found it on Twitter after your D.C. Camp!

Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor!
