Announcing the LFDC Referral Program!
Dear LFDC Members,
We continue to see solid growth at LakeFrog.com and with your feedback, we’re happy to say that we’re developing the best in class products for you and the potential lake home buyer. So as we continue to develop, we’re gradually shifting focus to extending efforts to “spread the word” and let folks know of the available free resource!
And in that area, we’re asking for your help! For a limited time, LakeFrog.com is accepting referrals in exchange for free Featured Listings placement! Featured listings are shown to the right of each page on LakeFrog.com and give the user optimum exposure for their properties on map and organic searches!
The conditions are simple: we’re offering 5,000 featured listing impressions in exchange for each qualifying referral. A qualifying referral would be a new LakeFrog member sign up, that lists at least one property on the site. That’s it!
So tell your friends, your friend’s, friends and have their friends tell their friends. If you think you know someone that could benefit, just send a message to support@lakefrog.com with “Sign me up!”. Once you have a qualified referral, just send us an email with their name and the the property listing you’d like to be set up as a Featured Listing – we’ll verify the new member, and let you know when you’re set up!
We’ll hope you’ll find value in this proposal! As we truly believe that our growth will benefit you as well.

Attention California Members!
As a heads up to our California based Real Estate Professionals, effective as of July 1, 2009, California real estate licensees will need to have their license number displayed on “all solicitation materials intended to be the first point of contact with consumers…”. This includes “business cards, stationery, advertising flyers, and other materials designed to solicit the creation of a professional relationship between the licensee and a consumer… .” This is in accordance with Senate Bill 1461 sponsored by the Department of Real Estate.
The idea behind this legislation is mainly to protect the homebuyer from paying any unlicensed person for performing real estate services. We at LakeFrog believe this to be a good thing. Therefor, in the coming weeks we’ll be launching a new version of the site which will include a field for “License Number” when creating new contacts. The field will be optional for all states, except for California where it will be required.
Stay tuned for more information on the new launch! In the meantime, if you have any questions concerning the details of this legislation, be sure to let us know. And thanks again for using LakeFrog.com!

Save money with DIY Landscaping
Good landscaping can be the difference maker when it comes time to sell your house. It can also add beauty and value to your house that your family can enjoy for years to come. However, the cost of professional landscaping may not be in your current family budget.
We found the below do-it-yourself tips that will save money over hiring a professional, but won’t take up your entire summer weekend:
Banish the brownWe all know we should water regularly through dry spells, but there’s another secret to greening up the lawn. Mow it to a height of at least three inches. This enables the grass to retain more moisture by keeping the soil shaded and cooler, which allows the roots to grow deeper, so they can find their own water.
In fall, feed the lawn with a fall fertilizer blend (about $40 for a half-acre lot), which will improve the turf’s water-seeking abilities next year. Also, thanks to trees getting larger (or being pruned), your sun exposure may have changed. Sprinkle a sun-and-shade seed mix ($5) over problem areas.
Whack your weedsIf your mulch beds have turned into weed beds, spray the unwanted plants with Roundup (about $20), which will kill weeds in about 10 days, says Chris Valenti, a Lewes, Del., landscaper and vice president of the National Landscaping Association.
Next spring, head off the problem by using a product that prevents weeds from germinating at all, such as Preen (around $25). Or try a nonchemical solution: Lay red rosin paper (sold in the paint aisle at home centers; $15 for a three-by-140-foot roll) over the planting beds before mulching.
