Cal Mitchener replied to Pat B's discussion 'New Auto Video feature Tourbuzz - how much to charge?'

I compete directly with Tour Factory on a daily basis. They don't charge extra for this feature so I feel I can't either. I am already perceived as being more expensive than them. When I started, their photography was mediocre at best. Now…

Cal Mitchener replied to Michael Basch's discussion 'Tour Contracts'

TourFactory does this in my market. They go to realty & offer to steeply discount their product if a certain # of agents agree to give TF all their business for a given time period (usually a year). I have another mega brokerage in my area that…
