Advanced Access announced last month the release of a major upgrade to our popular MLS search program. This upgrade is SO BIG that we gave the program previously known as HomeFINDER a brand new name. QuickHomes® is the result of months of programming and design hours and features loads of new product enhancements that will save time and provide advanced features for you and your clients. Advanced Access has two separate IDX choices available for our clients; our regular IDX solution, and our new QuickHomes® product. If you don't recall having one of these features, the best way to check is to login to your Virtual Office, click on Property Tools, and if you have IDX or QuickHomes® as a selection then you are indeed signed up. QuickHomes®, and our regular IDX solution, are available in designated MLS' throughout the country, and are offered in all areas in which Advanced Access hosts the MLS/IDX data. We currently have quite a backlog of MLS' that we are in the process of downloading. If you don't see your area in the link below, be sure to e-mail us to find out if your MLS has an available FTP feed for download. Downloading each MLS involves several days to a week to load data into our servers, geo-code it with our new Map Search feature, and get it ready for daily updates. Click Here to View Advanced Access MLS Service Areas! Here is a brief review of our two different products. 1) IDX Solution Our IDX solution is free to Advanced Access website clients. With our standard IDX solution, your consumers will have the benefit of the enhanced searches now available in the program, including Search Wizard and Map Search. You are also able to create custom layouts for your Search Page, Map Search, or Wizard Search to entice your visitors to locate their dream home with your home specifications. The MAP Search feature allows the consumer to quickly and easily 'draw a box' around a specific geographic area and perform property searches within that area. With Map Search, it is now possible to search on a specific area "within" a city, instead of searching the entire city. Visitors can highlight the area they are interested in and see how many properties are listed, where they are listed, and what points of interest are located nearby. The SearchWizard feature takes consumers through the search for property 'step by step,' making it easier for them to target the homes they want QUICKLY! Consumers can choose their own display of search results by Text List, Small Preview, Large Preview, or Map Preview. ** Check out the newly added 'Map Preview' to WOW your potential clients! Fabulous Slide show of Property photos or the consumer may click on the photo they would like to see and it will be featured on the listing results. 2) QuickHomes® With a retail price of $399.95 per year (or $39.95/month), as a valued Advanced Access customer, your price for QuickHomes® is ONLY $299.95 per year (or $29.95/month)! QuickHomes® includes the same default features as our IDX Solution but with some more powerful features.... Gain valuable leads by encouraging visitors to sign-up and receive e-mail updates of their search criteria on a daily/weekly/biweekly, with guest books, flash contact forms, and other lead generation tools.

Track every visitor that comes to your Website, their searches, the properties they viewed, and even the properties they saved as favorites. With our expanded Recent Visitors and User List sections, you receive more details about prospect searches, and greater control over total prospect management. QuickHomes® Preferences allow you to customize the look and feel of your QuickHomes® product to match the colors of your Website. You can also add-on personal information such as your photo, company logo, and contact information to be featured on EVERY page. In addition, you can format up to four Featured Properties to appear at the top or bottom of every page. Customize your Map Search starting point to the area located around your office. Set your default options to enhance your user experience, and finally, customize QuickHomes® automatic e-mails that go out to your prospective client with your personal message! Enhanced Agent Branding features are built into the new system, including multiple phone numbers and PHOTOS. Your prospects can mark their FAVORITES quickly and easily and save them for future reference. Consumers have the ability to SAVE their search criteria for quick access and future use. With more searching power, better feedback, the ability to gain valuable leads, freedom to customize, and much, much more, QuickHomes® is the latest Web application of services that Advanced Access has developed to improve and increase your presence on the Internet.

If you would like to sign up for our Advanced Access IDX Solution, please contact Customer Support at 866-518-1571 or Support@AdvancedAccess.com. Please be advised that both features will normally require paperwork to be filled out by your designated broker and sent to your MLS for validation. This process can sometimes require more time than usual as we are dependent upon your MLS for approval. We thank you for your patience. Next week, we will go over how you should use the different features to maximize QuickHomes® to your advantage. ALERT: New Email Virus on the Loose! Have you been receiving odd looking emails asking you to visit a website with the 'Account and Password Information' attached? What about emails with the message saying "ok ok ok,,,,, here is it" with a zip file attached for you. Be on the alert and be aware. These are virus emails. Please delete them! Symantec.com is an informative website that can keep you updated on new virus emails that are being delivered to your email box. New viruses continue to be created and most often will use a spoofed email address. Warning About Email Spoofing: Quite simply, a spoof email is one which has been doctored to look as though it has come from a particular sender (such as eBay, Advanced Access or other legitimate companies), when in reality it has come from someone completely different.Things to look for in SPOOF Emails: First, look for spelling and grammatical errors (many spoofs are written by non-English speaking persons, errors are common). Second, if the email has a form to complete for any information (including your user name and password, bank details, credit card details, etc. etc.) then it is NOT from the genuine site. None of the genuine sites would do this. Third, if we find that it requests us to confirm any login information (such as user name, password and any financial information like credit card details), it is most likely not a genuine email. If any site needs you to confirm details, simply type the known URL for that site into your browser, login and interact in that way alone, if there is any genuine need to verify any information, you will be asked to do so by some message when you are logged in. Fourth, if the email advertises a competition, or tells you that you've been selected for some prize or accolade, don't believe it, and do NOT interact with anything within the email. You can confirm any of that by going to their genuine web site and logging in as described above. |
