What is a Virtual Office? 
Virtual office Web sites server as vehicles for conducting an online brokerage, allowing a company to establish and work with clients and customers in cyberspace in a way that’s similar to how a brokerage interacts with its clients and customers in a bricks-and-mortar office. Viewers of MLS data on a VOW must register and, in return, typically receive more robust information on listings.

There is no contractual or financial obligation to join, we only hope that you will consider us as your realtor of choice should you decide to purchase property in our area.

If you would like us to register you as a user or if you need help using the web site, please contact us and we will be more than happy to assist you. You can email us, call us or page our cell phones anytime. See details on our contact page.

What are RSS feeds?  xml-rss.gif 
Really Simple Syndication (RSS or Rich Site Summary) is an XML-based format for information distribution over the Internet.

XML or RSS feeds are a way of having notifications of our latest information delivered straight to your favorite web page or desktop. All of our MLS listings, New Construction Projects and News are available through RSS feeds.

To take advantage of our RSS feed you need to have a dedicated news reader. This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you read any new publications and releases that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using your browser, and some of which are applications that you have to download and install.

Once you have a news reader you can then choose which RSS feeds to which you wish to subscribe. You can subscribe to an RSS feed whereever you see the RSS or XML logo (see above). If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.



RSS readers are available as both web programs and downloadable programs. Some web portals such as My Yahoo can also display RSS feeds. Here are a few popular RSS readers:
We have even added buttons for the popular news readers so that you can add our feed information to your reader of choice with one click. Full information on how to subscribe to our feed can be found on the site of your chosen News Reader.

RSS is changing the nature of the Interent and allows you to determine the information you want and have it delivered to your reader so that you don't have to rememeber and visit so many web sites. RSS reading is also built right into the next releases of the Microsoft Operating System, Internet Explorer and Office products due out in 2007.

You can also create alerts on properties when the price changes. The property alerts feature is only availabe for registered users who supply a valid email address.
