XSites’ My Office undergoes facelift

As you know, many of us are licensed, working REALTORS® as well as employees of a la mode, which has proved to be invaluable when it comes to designing and creating products that fit into a REALTOR'S® lifestyle. In fact, input from our in-house REALTORS® has been critical over the past few weeks as we redesigned the Agent XSite Websites' Admin area (the My Office area of your XSite) to make it easier to use the features that matter most to your business.

We'll be rolling out the newly redesigned XSites Admin area at the upcoming 2005 National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Conference & Expo Oct. 28-31 in San Francisco.

"The new My Office area is the biggest improvement to XSites that we'll be releasing at NAR. We're giving you an entirely new user experience, with a much improved workflow and the feeling that you're working within a suite of products, with a shared goal," said Rusty Lindquist, Vice President of Agent Products.

In the redesigned My Office area (which you can view here), we've integrated the features and tools you need the most into one central place. Now, you can jump seamlessly from feature to feature and program to program without leaving your current application. Need an appraiser or a mortgage broker? Check the XSites Network in a pinch and find real estate professionals near you. Need to follow up with a new lead? Send a campaign with XSellerate automated marketing in just a few clicks.

We've also moved around a few features of your XSite to make them more useful. The new "notifications" section keeps you informed of anything happening with your XSite. In addition to your task reminders and e-mail, this area will also report any areas you need to set up on your XSite, how many hits your site received that day and how many leads were generated. You'll receive daily marketing tips to help you reach more prospects and turn them into clients. And the new "Stay In Touch" area provides an easy way access a la mode user forums, newsletters, feature releases as well as your Inman News feed.

"Not only does the new My Office area improve workflow, but it paves the way for new products," Lindquist said. "We've got two new products in mind that we'll be adding to the XSite Office Suite within the next 12 months that I think you – our customers – will be excited about."
