I followed this on REW and I thought the way they handled it was very professional. The culprits are lucky they gave them plenty of chances to fix the problem. Other people aren’t so nice, and if you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you could find yourself paying a hefty amount of cash for the mistake.

REW actually built our website and they go through lots to make sure that they do things the right way. It is amazing what people think they can do and get by with!

Today the case of copying the website design is very common and people who copy sites are basically cheaters…so some technique must be employed to try and prevent this.

Especially when you consider you can good quality photos that are royalty free from websites that only charge a buck or two.

I know things are tough right now, but how cheap can you be when it comes to your business?

What I hate too is finding my photos on other agent websites and blogs. They are either ignorant or stupid.

Yep, it’s about the dumbest thing you can do.

Not only is it costly if you wind up in a legal situation, it is one of the quickest ways to get your reputation destroyed on the web.

Wow… that was a serious mistake (using the code from another well known website).

I designed my own real estate agent website, but it took quite a bit of time.
