In a previous post, (Adding Mojo to the Specindex Logo) we discussed a few new alternatives to the branding of the Specindex.com logo.

Thank you for your opinions, help, and feedback.

The  great information gathered from the internal polls and surveys demonstrated a key area for us to focus on improving our the Specindex brand and image.

As a result, the Specindex.com website will be undergoing some exciting, albeit cosmetic changes at different intervals over  the next couple of weeks. The functionality of the website should not be affected in any negative way.

Stay tuned for more updates as the Specindex New Home Marketplace evolves into the Real Estate Professional's top choice for spec home, ready to move, and home builder inventory information!

Specindex.com is the New Home marketplace, where Real Estate professionals enjoy custom, up-to-date Home Builder Inventory listings sent directly to them via email, web browser add-ons, and RSS feeds.

Technology and Gadgetry can help free up your time as a New Home Sales Agent, but nothing can replace the tested experience of first hand, shared knowledge. It is important for new home sales and marketing professionals to stay fresh and sharp when it comes to the delivery of selling presentations.

Mental stamina, endurance, and self analysis are fundamental skills needed to create a long and richly rewarding career in new home sales. There is no better way of keeping your "sales instrument" in tune, than sharing successful sales techniques with others who are successful.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, "Get Your Favorite New Home Sales, Marketing, and Building News Here," the Specindex offers freshly updated Real Estate Industry news and commentary from a variety of sources around the globe, and in your back yard.

Here is a list of some of the more popular RSS feeds that we've compiled for your reading (and skill sharpening) pleasure. Feel free to send us a note if you know of additional home building, real estate, and new home sales and marketing resources that we should add to our growing list automatically updated news feeds.

In a recent spoof dedicated to the hurting Home Building Industry; I delivered a video advertisement disguised as a public service announcement decrying a cure for all of our housing woes. I use the word "our," because like most of you, I too am a home building professional working harder after the bust.

I have the privilege of selling the best new homes in the country, (and if you doubt it, stop by my community and bring your check book for an earnest money deposit!) Seriously, I know that the new construction boom times have slowed. For many of us - it's getting harder to write contracts on dirt, and liquidate aging spec home inventory.

Take a look at this screen capture of actual video player statistics of real slide show videos that I created to market and sell a few of my inventory homes last year:

Yes! I really do take my own medicine as prescribed for the home builder blues! My personal experience demonstrates that the New Home Marketing 2.0 tools and techniques that I have been demonstrating for the past 5 months on this blog are more than theory - they really work.

Don't be shy, try Specindex.com today!
