What is "My Planner?"Turns out this featureallows users to getemail listing alerts, saveproperties and storedocuments in apersonal account - allgreat stuff that's goodfor the company and theuser. But I, the user,would never know that.This should be labeledin a more descriptivefashion or perhapsremoved from the homepage entirely andplaced where users aremore likely to use thesetools (e.g., searchresults page, propertydetail page).What does need to behere (and is currentlymissing) is a simple"account login" link - If Iam a user with anaccount signing-in is anaction I may very welltake from the homepage.

This is far too long. Thefirst two sentencesshould be cut. Andquestions (here, "Readyto get started?") shouldbe avoided. Sentencesstarting with strongverbs are better. Lastly,the call to action here istoo weak and does notflow logically with thetext preceding it.
