The whole point of almost ALL realtors blogs is to NOT put up a any sort of wall to get to what the visitor is looking for – homes.

Now, if you leave the box UNCHECKED and then the visitor does sign up at Foreclosure.com and then you send the signup info back to the Realtor then that would be a little better.

The leads collected by the plugin are for you the realtor NOT Foreclosure.com! This is VERY IMPORTANT to clarify. When a user browses the listings the plugin generates, they are asked to enter their contact information. That is a lead that the realtor can market to. A subset of those MIGHT subscribe to the Foreclosure.com service but the main purpose for a real estate agent to install the plugin is to collect leads and add content.

I spoke to foreclosure.com yesterday, and they do send leads back to the Realtor displaying the search. I have installed it on the example blog I’m building as instruction for Realtors at http://DemoTownRealEstate.com. I would appreciate someone going there and doing a registration on a particular listing just to see if I do get the lead. If you give your email, I’ll let you know.

I don’t have the screen shots yet, but there is a page in the dashboard where you receive your leads. Their representative, Zack Preble, stated that they do not take nor sell leads. I’m still working on it, and I’ll let you know if there’s a surprise I’m not seeing.
