MetroBrokersTV: We are in the lobby of the Palace Hotel here at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco 2008 and I have Mark Harrison and Mark is with Metro Brokers and welcome Mark.

Mark Harrison: Thank you very much. I am happy to be here.

MetroBrokersTV: Hey, which office I am curious do you work out of?

Mark Harrison: Quebec and Arapahoe Cherry Tree Properties.

MetroBrokersTV: Oh, great and I understand you do sit on the Metro Brokers technology committee. Is that right for Metro Brokers?

Mark Harrison: I do and that is kind of what... why I am here. It has been enjoyable experience, kind of building the next phase of the technology with Metro Brokers in Denver, Colorado.

MetroBrokersTV: So, tell me, you have made it to a couple of events and seminars today. Anything grab your attention?

Mark Harrison: Definitely. The HGTV definitely did. frontdoor.com seems like a great tool. TonS of hits obviously with the name recognition of HGTV and the brand that they've established. Looks like finally agents were able to market on that website. They are opening a platform for us to actually spread the word even wider and broader than maybe some of the other websites.

MetroBrokersTV: Well, so agents have the ability to put like their IDX listings on HGTV and the frontdoor?

Mark Harrison: They do, which I was actually... this is the first time I have heard of them or heard of that particular website. They are really trying to brand that and ton of hits obviously with all the TV shows that are tied in to the food network, that are tied into a ton of different stuff, and I was real excited about getting them and actually being able to tie it into HGTV, which is obviously known for that type and actually being able to list my properties, my listings on there as kind of a plus for sure.

MetroBrokersTV: Right. Well, this is your first time out here at Inman Connect, right?

Mark Harrison: It is and real excited about being here, learning a ton. It is only the first day, but looking forward to the next two days and see what I can learn.

MetroBrokersTV: All right. Well, thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions Mark.

Mark Harrison: Thanks very much. Appreciate it.
