      DJ: That was a fun call, I had a blast. And sound loud laughs listening to the replay. Lots of good nuggets of info in there! 

      @SPARRproperties:twitter said he picked up a few good ideas that he can turn around and implement so it was definitely helpful. Thanks again!

    Ricardo, can you send me a link to the agent’s that have made effective “how to search” screencasts? That is already on my list of things to do. I made one a while back, but don’t really like it.
