After weeks and weeks of working for free, we would like to officially welcome Todd Chatham to the Myrsol team as a full time employee. Todd will be our Customer Support Manager and will be responsible for day to day client support issues and anything else we throw his way.

Todd is a great addition to our team because of his years of experience working in customer support, his knowledge of real estate websites, and a diverse skillset that expands beyond just being a people person.

When looking for someone to join the Myrsol team, We felt Todd was the perfect fit for our future and we hope you all overwelm him with many tickets!

Top Producer is the leading Real Estate CRM solution available with tons of useful features to convert your leads to sales. Recently Top Producer rolled out a new patch for their Top Producer 8i product, which includes support for real time lead importing from the Myrsol IDX Real Estate system.

Our integration method is fairly smart as well. New leads to your website will be imported to Top Producer automatically - and if that same lead makes an additional inquiry, they will not be imported again.

There is NO EXTRA charges for Top Producer 8i users to have this turned on - We will walk you through the setup, or do it for you at no charge.

We are in desperate need to fill (1) position in assisting us with expanding our template arsenal and doing some user interface improvements to our product.

Are you local? (Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Murrells Inlet..) Are you fluent in CSS? Are you a Photoshop guru? (creating your friends little "sigs" does not count) Do you have a strong understanding of web UI patterns? Do you stay up to date with all the new trends and techniques used on the web?

Basically, if you answer no to any of the above, or if you build your websites in Frontpage, you are probably the wrong person for this position.

Thumbs up if you know the following as well:

Our first Real Estate IDX website for the Charleston, SC area has gone live -- MarshallWalker.com

Marshall Walker, of MarshallWalker.com has been a true champ to us this past week by submitting quality bug reports and many product improvement ideas while we built his site. The process from start to finish took roughly a week and involved a complete conversion of his old site's table layout to CSS, creating a custom RETS parser, geocoder, and a ton of other stuff. It would of went alot smoother had we had the ftp data feed, but since CTAR is moving to RETS only in January, we figured we would get a headstart and dive right in.

The major goal for marshallwalker.com was to have features that...

With the launch of the Myrsol Real Estate IDX/CMS just days away, we wanted to talk a little bit about what to expect in terms of product updates and the addition of new features after the initial product launch.

Our initial goal after the main rollout of the Real Estate IDX portion, is to finish up fixing any code issues that our testers worked hard to find. Keep in mind also, that with this type of product, and the amount of code we're talking about - you're never going to smash every single code problem. This product is built to scale rapidly and so far has been performing exceptionally well under heavy loads.

So with that said, here's what we're working on that will follow our initial...

Well, after months of long days, entirely too many sleepless nights and consuming more caffeine than any rational human being ever should, we have arrived.

For those of you who are meeting us for the first time, we are known as Myrsol . Resistance is futile. Just kidding. (Or are we...)

But in all seriousness, Myrsol is a highly skilled and qualified team made up of some of the hardest working and most talented professionals in the industry. It is their hard work and relentless pursuit of perfection that has created an industry-best product at prices much lower than the so-called "industry leaders."

At Myrsol, we also want our clients to know that we care about their experience and val...
