Last week, Shelley Fowler from realtor.com^® visited with Realcomp to share some of the freebies that are available to MLS Subscribers/REALTORS^® through the realtor.com website. You may already be familiar with these services. However, unless you have visited the "engage" portion of their website or talked with a realtor.com^® representative, these wonderful perks may be news to you (as they were to some of us). We wanted to be sure to share them with you, as you certainly can benefit from realtor.com's^® "best kept secrets".
