Real Estate Professionals: If You Are New Here, Please Read Before Posting! (Austin: title)

[Bo]

Welcome to City-Data's Austin forum. City-Data values the contribution of real estate professionals. This message board's "no advertising" rules do limit what you can post, but they do not prevent you from posting here in ways that work to your benefit and that are fair to the professionals who are already here. Here is the section of the Terms of Service which defines the advertising rules and explains how you can benefit:

Real Estate Agents and other businesses will not advertise their services nor solicit business in their posts. Create a free business profile by going to //www.city-data.com/profiles/add and fill out your forum profile instead. Do not include links to your websites, MLS listings, etc. in your posts. Do not try to push the envelope by attempting to hide your intentions. Do not solicit business by DMs. Show your knowledge about the area and help people and you will get leads naturally. Real estate agents should join the usergroup for them here: //www.city-data.com/forum/profi...editusergroups. It will set your user title and add an icon next to your name, so you will get free advertising with your posts.

Also, the board has a rule about signatures in messages:

Signatures are disabled. Do not include "manual" signatures in your posts. You can put a lot of information in your profile instead.

The Austin forum has many real estate professionals who participate every day within these rules. The moderator team has found them to be some of the most knowledgable posters in the forum and truly appreciates their efforts. We would welcome your participation here too, but it must be done within the rules.
