So back in the day (like ‘07), I wrote this review about Real Bird v. vFlyer from a stager’s point of view posting properties for agent clients (both are property flyer marketing sites that allows you to create very nice looking property advertisements plus all the nice bells and whistles like letting you easily copying and pasting codes into listing services like Trulia, Craig’s List, etc.). This morning I got a surprised comment from @coachkaterina (Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes) on the Active Rain blog and figured I should share it!

Cindy- after being a vflyer customer buying over 50 listing flyers per year I switched to the free realbird flyers. I am so impressed with the customer service, the ease of use, the amazing free single property sites that are so superior to anything else on the market, and of course their awesome search widgets. One stop shop for all your listing needs. I was so impressed and on our first search widget that I embedded in a blog post for a highly searched subdivision in my town, we got 4 leads for our buyers agents within 24 hours! I was SOOOOO impressed that I, as a coach, an agent and as one of the top bloggers on Active Rain made the decision to promote Real Bird along with Active Rain and now running webinars for showing agents how to use these two platforms together. I pay $99 a year with Real Bird to remove all the ads from my search widgets. What a deal! Katerina

You can find my old review (comes with a nifty chart and everything) of My vFlyer vs. Real Bird As A Stager here on Active Rain. **Note that the review has not been updating so some of the info are probably different, like I just got an email from vFlyer this morning about they now can submit to Kijiji (free local classified service) and send your flyers directly to Twitter.

You can visit Real Bird here and vFlyer. Both are San Francisco bay area based. I must be frank that I personally haven’t used neither these services for awhile since my business model shifted. But I must say that both of these are terrific tools to create marketing flyers and easy submissions to listing engines like Trulia, etc. I notice that on vFlyer you can now also embed videos, which is a very cool feature.

Are you currently using either these services or both? If you are not, what are you using? Pros and Cons??? Write your nifty comments in the big white box below…
