If you want a service that is not very expensive but, has expansive options, ListingsToLeads.com is fantastic too. I also use RealBird but, the number of leads that I get from L2L are more than double those I get from my RealBird account...and it's very fairly priced as well.

Here's a link to one of them. You'll notice, they use the address as the prefix and TheBestListing.com as the url. I think that is why those leads are so much better than other services that I use.

Wow..free is not always the best option. I think the $100 a year for Realbird is a buy and certainly you can afford something a year!! if you only did 4 listings that's only $25 per listing... double your goal and its $12.50 per listing..think big!

When I don't use a photographer, I use Animoto to create slideshows, either for listings or marketing. Here is one I did about a year ago. Easy to do, just drag and drop.

It's worth paying for something good. Some here mentioned Realbird which is good, also look at Listings to leads.
