Industry = Real Estate

Press Release Summary = 2006 will bring about more competition and more opportunity
for agents and brokeers looking to capture more marketshare.

Press Release Body = Tim O\'Keefe of http://SpiderJuiceTechnologies.com has issued
his top predictions for 2006.

O\'Keefe said, \"The online pressure will get tighter and tighter for the online agent
or broker. Unfortunately....however there are many opportunities to capture larger
market share, despite what the large aggregators are doing\".

Available at http://www.spiderworkz.com/arts/ , the report offers many problems,
but also many opportunities for the online agent or broker. Everything from blogs,
podcasts and video blogging are covered in the online report.

The predictions cover strategical considerations and new technologies that are sure
to help many to succeed in 2006. However, the report warns against coming problems
for not only online real estate professionals, but traditional, offline agents.

This years online marketer faces fierce competition from not only local competition.
But Tim points out that Big Corporate/Non-Realtor entities, are taking important
search positions away from the local agent.

\"The local agent faces huge competition as his local competition hires Search
Marketing firms like us. But they also are up against big entities that capture
leads and turn around and resell those leads to the Realtor community.\" But Tim
points out that the very data that has led to prosperity for so many online agents
is also in a way the culprit.

\"There is huge competition from US Attorney\'s office for the National Association of
Realtors to make the MLS data more open. You see many Boards of Realtors offering
open, non-registered access to the their data. In some markets it is openly
displayed in online newspapers.\"

\"Part of the Reason that Realtors run open houses, pay for big four color ads, and
have websites is to create a prospect database around themselves. The MLS is a
cooperative whereby they can share their prospect with each other to represent the
purchase or sale of a home. When there is no lead capture mechanism, they
affectively are running a charity because the likelihood of the prospect emailing or
calling them is pretty slim.\"

He goes onto say that as more and more online services offer listings without
capture, and as more and more aggregators come online. It will become more difficult
to produce sales.
