a la mode announces single property websites

Written by on November 13, 2009

San Diego – From the floor of the REALTORS® Conference and Expo, a la mode, one of the real estate industry's largest and most mission-critical technology companies, announced today that it has extended its XSite product line with a website designed for agents who want to showcase a single listing in its own website and its own domain name.

The company's new Property XSite inherits the rich tools available in its flagship Agent XSites and Broker XSites, such as unlimited property descriptions, unlimited photos, blogs, virtual tours, podcasts, interactive mapping, and Google™ Earth integration. Plus, all homes in Property XSites will be syndicated to the major listing sites like Google™, Yahoo!®, Trulia®, and Oodle, to name a few.

Property XSites are inexpensive, making them a cost effective way to round out a marketing plan. Each includes a dedicated domain name for any single property being marketed. Most agents typically use the street address itself as the domain name, but any name can be chosen.

But it's how Property XSites spawn off from an existing Agent XSite Pro that makes them truly unique. Once a theme is chosen on an agent or broker's main XSite, all the Single Property XSites tied to it replicate the theme and content by default, ensuring consistent branding.

"Just throwing a simple description on the MLS doesn't cut it anymore. So listings presentations have to focus on how the agent will get the seller maximum exposure. Property XSites solve that problem," explains Scott Kinnaird, a la mode's CEO. "Agents can quickly set up a rich, multi-page site for a single listing, showing sellers that they're willing to go the extra mile to get their property maximum exposure with a website that's exclusively dedicated to their property."

To take advantage of the extra exposure and traffic, Property XSites include a la mode's highly effective lead capture tools, plus a showing scheduler with automatic notification. When a visitor wants to schedule a showing, they fill out a lead capture form and the agent is immediately notified on their mobile phone. Agents won't have to wait until they get back to the office to check e-mail to see if they've gotten any leads.

"For a fraction of what you'd make in commission, each Property XSite gives unique benefits in landing and selling listings, where commissions are potentially huge. Imagine walking into a listing presentation and telling the sellers that when they list with you, they will have an entire website dedicated to their property", says Kinnaird. "Property XSites give agents the tools to impress sellers, win more listings, and then sell them faster. In short, they're a no-brainer."
