After taking an extensive tour through the demo site, this component/extension really looks the goods for a real estate site until you get into the details.

First of all the biggest disappointment was the lack of a demo area for the backend. As a developer I need to get my potential client to play with a backend area to make sure it suits their needs. I'm not a real estate agent, so I can't make this judgement.

The fact that the extension is encrypted is also a problem because it's never going to be upgraded to a 1.5 Version because of licensing issues. I believe that Joomla's development will proceed further down the 1.5 track and that sooner or later 1.0 will become archaic and consequently the extensions that don't move will also fall into that category.

The licensing situation with this component obviously also has a "call home" function and the vendors gratiously allow you to transfer it to a different IP/Host "once only". That's a pretty dramatic and restrictive statement in my view.

From what I have seen of the frontend, this looks like a great extension. It's just a great shame that it can't be investigated further prior to purchase and that the licensing is so restrictive.
