Im leaning toward Point 2 Agent at this point but everyone tells me
the free package is not worth it.

I was told that you cant use your own graphics and they only have designs for the big name franchise brokers.

I was wondering if there was anyone here who has the free package and how much control you actually get with it. Thanx.

If you only want a billboard on the web, then you can do what you want with a Point2 free site. Without the proper lead capture mechanisms, prospect management functions and drip email capability, your site will act like a billboard. It may get seen by a drive-by, and a few might even call or email, but it will never make you money. It's a viable marketing tool if you just want to show listing clients that they're on the web.

I have some videos on using the Point2 features here. I do recommend Point2 as a rep, but am more into instruction on how to make a web site a lead generation tool.

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. You not think so much about price but what service and features they offer. Most People want to see listings when they visit a real estae website so make sure there is some kind of share featreu that display lots of properties.

you get what you pay for is right! and what good is a site that cant be found? what good is a site that you can't control total SEO/SEF ....and more importantly what kind of leads are you going to really get when the majority of people out there can and know how to get the "real" all 100% MLS listings from your competitors sites? People are getting more and more tech savvy every day and once they realize your site doesn't give them 100% of the MLS buffet they will go somewhere else ....and sure you can "frame" an IDX solution but they are aggravating to most end users and they will still leave.....just my 2 cents

I have a P2 site and love it. I started off with the free on and have upgraded to the $49/mo one. It is DEFIANTLY worth the money. I was paying $40/mo just in hosting with my old site and it sucked.

P2 has great tools and an awesome stats generator. Check out my site. If you have questions, let me know

Joe, which of the features are you using at the $49/mo level?

I would have to agree with Joe. I've been with P2 for a year now. Started with their free website and a few months later, upgraded to professional level. I still got in before the price increase, so I'm paying $39 a month.

The tools that they offer are fantastic. You get drip campaigns, listing management, referral module, you can separate your prospects into groups, message board, a blog, etc. Too much to mention. Their support is great.

With an upgraded version you get to use an advanced HTML module. You can plug in your own code in there and completely change the look and feel of your site. I use CSS on my home page and it's a one of a kind P2 site.

I recently started a website for my wife, using Point2 Agent, Apart from wishing I could customise it a bit further, I am very happy with the results. I'm sure once I know more HTML I will be able to do more with it. I'm have already upgraded to the Professional level.

My P2A standard site is farily optimized, fairly well linked and is producing leads. Sadly, I have not yet closed one transaction found over the internet. Close but no closings.

I think the syndication and prospect management features of the site are the best.
