NUMBER ONE Success System

Welcome and thank you for visiting *Number One Success System*. *Number One
Success System* is a private association of consenting individuals 18 years
of age and above who willingly and knowingly have come together for
charitable purposes. Participants have chosen to exercise their right to
freely give to others who have joined with the same purpose and
understanding. Access to the *Number One Success System* website and
participation in the activity are by DIRECT, PERSONAL INVITATION ONLY. If
you have been invited to view the website, you are a special person indeed
and have been given a tremendous gift, perhaps far greater than you can
imagine.

Please know that *Number One Success System* is not an investment club, not
a business, not MLM, not a company or corporation, not a commercial
enterprise of any kind whatsoever, nor do its activities include the
solicitation of anything. There are no investments here, no paychecks, no
products or services to sell, no seminars to attend, no tapes or manuals to
buy, and no one MAKES or EARNS any money.

There are no profit making benefits of any kind associated with this
activity. No benefit or return of any nature is expressed or implied and no
promises or guarantees of any such return are permitted to be made by any
participant of this activity.

In certain European countries, most notably in Spain, MLS companies have
started up in most of the popular vacation home destinations, including
Costa del Sol, the Costa Brava, etc. These companies tend to be privately
owned and provide MLS access to any real estate agent paying for membership.

Real estate agents pay subscription fees to an MLS company which then allow
property listings to be uploaded onto their servers. Also, all subscribing
real estate agents create a property search link on their own websites which
links directly to the MLS service. Thus, any site visitor to any of the
subscribing agents' sites will be able to find *all* properties listed on
the MLS servers, even though they are visiting the website of a single
agent. In effect, every single subscribing real estate agent appears to be
offering exactly the same properties for sale, not unlike the situation with
IDX systems in the United States.

When buyers use the internet to find property, often using Google, the
search results usually provide a list of real estate agents' websites in the
locality which is being searched. The buyer clicks through the various
websites and starts browsing properties of interest, although every site
visited is offering the same properties because they are all linked to the
same MLS server.

The buyer then has to choose an agent (again, not very different from
elsewhere), but it does force the buyer to make a decision, since all agents
in the area have access to all properties and the seller's agent will
benefit regardless of who brings the buyer, again very like the US.

Although there are currently no regulations in Europe in relation to MLS, it
may be a matter of time before its use may be viewed as a restrictive
practice designed to benefit real estate agents, rather than consumers.
