New XSite feature gives your listings more exposure
Written by a la mode on April 13, 2005
A few weeks ago, we announced several new updates to your Agent XSites, which included new features on your listing directory pages to give your listings a little more "oomph!" This week we launched a new shared listings feature that allows you to show your customers' listings on other agents' websites in addition to your own.
Why share your listings? Simple. More potential buyers will be able to see them, which is certain to please your customers.
The new shared listings feature will allow you to gain more exposure for your own listings by having multiple agents show your customers' listings on their websites. This feature can provide you some additional leverage when you're trying to win a listing.
For example, you'll be able to tell your customers that by listing their home with you, their home will be added to your site as well as five (or how many you choose) other agents' sites in the area with whom you are partnered, thereby generating more potential buyers than if their listing was solely listed on your page.
The shared listings feature is also beneficial to brokers who purchase multiple XSites for their agents because it allows the broker to automatically aggregate listings from all his/her agents, while allowing the agents to stay in control of the listing, and the leads that it generates. The feature will be available on your XSite April 14. You will find it by clicking on the Listings icon on the main toolbar of the My Office area.
With the new shared listing feature, now may be a good time to consider getting multiple sites for your agents or even for the various neighborhoods, markets or other sectors of the real estate industry (e.g. appraiser, mortgage broker) in which you do business. Special discounts are available. Call 1-800-ALAMODE.
Because we are constantly adding new features and updating your XSite, we've added a spot on the My Office page of your XSite called "Update History," which explains the elements of each release and how to use them. And as always, if you have any questions about any of the new releases, you can call us on the tech lines 24 X 7.
