XSite tools that help you save money on gas

As a REALTOR®, you’re accustomed to driving your clients to showings.  However, now that the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S.  is just below $3, you may be wondering if there’s any way to cut down on the time spent in your car without sacrificing service.

Here are some ways your Agent XSite website can help you save money on gas and, at the same time, provide your customers with impressive tools that help them find the home of their dreams:

Flash listing presentations
Encourage your buyers to view your impressive Flash animated listings so they can get an idea about the type of property their most interested in.  That way, you can streamline your showings by only visiting the properties that best meet your clients’ requirements.  Unlike many MLSs, there are no limitations to the number of photos and descriptions you can have on your listings, so you can make them as in-depth as you like.

Automatic IDX connection
Agent XSites automatically connects to the IDX solution for more than 150 boards (including 70+ in Florida). With automatic IDX connection, your XSite visitors can search through the active listings from your local MLS without leaving your XSite.  This provides your buyers yet another way to narrow their choices for properties before they get into your car.

Google Earth
The Google Earth home-mapping technology, which is a free tool on your XSite, is one of the best ways for your clients to see a property in its true context – without actually driving to it.  Your customers can view aerial photographs of the properties in which they’re interested simply by typing in the address.  Then, they can zoom in to see the block the house is on, its proximity to schools, parks, freeways, shopping centers and other landmarks.

You may not be able to do anything about the current price of gas, but by using the tools on your XSite, your customers can make better informed decisions about the properties in which they’re interested – and you can save money on gas!
