For Those of You Wanting Raw Graphic Files – Now’s the Time to Buy!!!!

Way back when I first started out doing design (8 years ago) I purchased the “poor woman’s” version of PhotoShop since I couldn’t afford the $600 price tag…I have been using it ever since, and have also been able to purchase PhotoShop.

I have a feeling Corel is about to discontinue my old noble program, but if you’d like to purchase it, NOW’S THE TIME TO BUY!!!  Only $29 from Corel.  And you can have any raw image files you need, just send me an email at nancy@firstcoastdesigns.com and I’ll send them over to you.

Have fun!!  And if you need any video tutorials on how to edit your images, videos are $35/each.

Point2 Will be Integrating IDX

As members of the Point2 Agent community, you’ve probably already noticed the announcement in your Online Office.  There are no details yet, but I think this is a great opportunity for Point2 Agent and its members!  I’m going to assume that this means members will no longer have to enter their listings into Point2 Agent as their IDX will automatically feed in their listings, still giving listings the great syndication Point2 Agent offers! 

 They mention that it will be part of the Point2 Agent database, so anybody contacting you through a listing will automatically become part of your Point2 Agent database of prospects.

Those agents who have a 3rd party IDX integration means having 2 databases, one for anybody filling out a Point2 Agent form, and one for anybody using forms or contact forms in the IDX, making it a little more difficult to manage. 

Congrats Point2 Agent!  Can’t wait to see this!
