f you could be personally
introduced to your client's
closest friends and family each
time you sold a home, what

would that be worth to you? Would
you pay $100 for the opportunity?
How about $500? RAGFL's newest
member product

AnnounceMy-

Move

gets you introduced to your

clients' social networks in a profes-

sional, meaningful way at every stage
of the transaction for a small fraction
of the cost of other forms of market-
ing. This new service is now available
for RAGFL MLS participants!

AnnounceMyMove

is a complete

social networking and viral market-
ing tool that introduces an agent
to their client's contacts and helps
them reconnect with past clients and

prospects in a personal way. Using a
simple questionnaire, agents create
custom web-based announcements
for their listings, open houses, client
moves and more. Auto-generated an-
nouncements are available for all of
your listings for free through the end
of the year! All other announcement
types are available for only $5 each!
