I think it is just for agents to help each other and get ideas hope to sell more properties which everyone is trying to do!
Webmaster did put in a private section which obviously has not been used yet so there is a section for them to add notes of properties and areas that they are looking for.
But the forum is only as good as the people that are using it and at the moment no one has been using it.
It has been great for us, I looked at the links for our site in google yesterday and we have 19 or 20 mostly pointing from this site... |
