By now you have probably heard that ActiveRain, a fairly popular community and blogging platform was at least partly purchased by HouseValues.com. Well, this is bad news and just another attempt for corporate America and fat cats to jump into our pockets as Realtors.

Over the past five years many large companies as well as certain inside people in the industry have made a consorted effort to encroach upon just about every major and minor real estate market in the country and they are even reaching smaller markets as of late 2007. Each and everyday that passes we are losing more control of our businesses to our brokers, companies, franchises and lead aggregation companies.

These companies and individuals have deep pockets and are using advertising space in our newspapers, magazines and particularly online to beat us as agents to our own leads so they can turn around and sell them back to us for large referral fees. I strongly encourage competitive marketing among national franchises as well as independent companies but i and my company BusyAgentpro.com are committed to defending ourselves as well as making pre-emptive strikes against these large companies known as lead aggregators and taking back control of our local markets one at a time.
