XSites, Porsche Boxster wow REALTORS® at NAR conference

"That's it – just one annual fee? There are no monthly fees?"

"I get 24/7 tech support and real people answer the phone? And you don't outsource it overseas?"

"So this will continue to send e-mails to my past clients for as long as I want?"

"You're really giving away this car? This exact car?"

Those are just some of the commonly asked questions that could be heard in and around our booth at the 2005 NAR Conference and Expo. More than 4,500 REALTORS® entered to win the 2006 Porsche Boxster convertible parked in the middle of our booth by dropping their business card into it.

Besides admiring the sleek car, many REALTORS® stopped by to learn more about real estate professionals XSite websites and XSellerate automated marketing program and just what it is about our company that's made us a leader in real estate technology for the past 20 years.

They may have come to see the car, but they stayed to learn how XSites and XSellerate help them win more business.

"This year in particular, we were often asked how we could offer our products at such a low price, and continuously release new features without charging extra. The answer is simple: We don't have to charge a lot. That's part of the advantage of choosing a la mode," explains Rusty Lindquist, our Vice President of Agent Products. "We've been developing world-class solutions and making them available to real estate professionals like you for 20 years. During that time, we've built a technology core that's been proven, time and again, and allows us to focus on innovation and providing our clients the most advanced tools and technology available."

We were also asked why we chose to give away such posh car. "That's easy," says Lindquist. "We think our XSites have a lot in common with the Porsche. Both are built to deliver a powerful image and unmatched performance. It just wouldn't be as impressive if we were giving away a nice, economy sedan."

If you didn't get a chance to stop by the booth at NAR, don't worry – you're already entered in the Porsche giveaway. The drawing will be held November 11 and we'll announce the winner soon after that. Good luck!
